The Blue Lagoon has drawn visitors to Iceland for decades; a thermal pool, fringed by moss-covered lava fields and with mysterious restorative qualities. Now one of the country’s most ambitious luxury resorts has opened on site, promising a rarefied spa experience without compare.
In the midst of sprawling lava fields and beside the shimmering Blue Lagoon, this is an ethereal location to remind you the world is full of beauty and wonder. One of Iceland’s most popular attractions, the lagoon’s supposedly restorative waters were discovered during development work at a nearby geothermal power plant.
It would be impossible for the resort’s interiors to surpass the beauty of the surrounding landscape, so instead they pay homage to it: carpets are grey-blue and moss green; slabs of solidified lava have been broken into rough-hewn bricks to create a signature fireplace or levelled to form a statement bar; decades-old Icelandic ceramics decorate the lobby.
The resort’s star amenity is its cavernous spa, a world-class wellness facility segmented by multiple relaxation zones; a dimly lit chamber offering the Blue Lagoon’s hammam-like cleansing ritual; and access to a calm, enclosed section of the lagoon.
ATV across Icelandic lunar landscapes such as lava fields, black sand beaches, mountains and red gravel roads for an incredible experience.
Combine the relaxing effects of a massage with the health benefits of the geothermal seawater of the Blue Lagoon for ultimate bliss.
Immerse yourself in the famed water of the Blue Lagoon in the privacy of the hotel, in a secluded area of the lagoon exclusively for guests.
Walk the trails surrounding the Blue Lagoon, or venture further through the waterscapes of nearby lava fields and forests.
Soar high above the Reykjanes Peninsula to appreciate the endless hot springs, lava fields, craters and volcanoes from the air.
Come face to face with some of the world's most majestic creatures as you sail out to see beaked dolphins, minke whales and humpback whales off the coast.
Follow your guide out into the Reykjanes Peninsula from the comfort of your car, with the ability to personalise where you go.
