Whether it’s sunshine or snow, daylight or the dark of night, any day is perfect for an invigorating dip in a geothermal bath. That’s the universal sentiment in Iceland, a country where the warmth of geothermal springs is as cherished as it is abundant. Spas throughout the nation have raised the bar, offering eclectic locations, enhanced facilities, and undeniably scenic vistas.

Things to do

The Blue Lagoon
Nestled amidst a rugged lava field and just a stone’s throw from the airport, Iceland’s most sought-after tourist haven, the Blue Lagoon, was serendipitously born. It started when superheated water, originating from deep within the earth, was harnessed to energize a geothermal power plant nearby. A fortunate revelation of the water’s therapeutic properties led to the creation of the Blue Lagoon as we know it. Today, visitors immerse themselves in pools rich in healing minerals, with the silica infusing the water with a mesmerizing blue-green hue and forming therapeutic mud on the lagoon’s bed. This wonder not only captivates but has also been proven to alleviate skin ailments, including psoriasis.

Sky Lagoon
Drawing from the deep roots of Icelandic tradition, Sky Lagoon offers more than just a warm soak. It encapsulates the entire historical essence, from the cozy warmth of a turf house to the invigorating chill of a stone-crafted plunge pool. Its design, a symphony of gray-blue and lush green, mirrors the encompassing vistas. Here, each visitor’s journey is enhanced by guides, extending from the tranquil lagoon waters to a refreshing cold-mist space.
