Blue Lagoon

One of the loved destinations in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon offers a refreshing and unique spa experience. This geothermal hot spring, just a thirty-minute drive away from Reykjavik, has an outdoor lagoon surrounded by a lava field where you can immerse yourself in the warm, mineral-rich, milky-blue waters.

While you are in the water, you get to apply a silica mud mask to your face and even have a complimentary drink at the swim-up bar. Apart from amenities like a sauna and steam room and in-water bar, this subterranean spa also offers skincare, float therapy and in-water massage.

The water contains silica, algae, and mineral salts, which work together to strengthen, renew, and moisturise the skin. There are different packages to choose from, including the basic 'Comfort' package, the 'Premium' package or the 'Luxury: Retreat Spa' package, which gives you five hours at the spa. After unwinding in the geothermal water pools for hours, you can head to the Blue Cafe or dine at Lava Restaurant. No swimming skills are required to visit the Blue Lagoon as there are plenty of areas with shallow water that are safe for non-swimmers. To secure your spot, it is a good idea to pre-book your entry ticket.
