Retreat at Blue Lagoon, Grindavík, Iceland
One of Iceland's most visited attractions (and a National Geographic 'wonder of the world'), The Blue Lagoon experience has recently enjoyed a luxurious upgrade with the addition of the country's first five-star hotel and spa resort, the Retreat at Blue Lagoon. Sixty-two elegant rooms encircled by mineral rich waters (some interconnecting; others with direct access to a private lagoon) feature floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony or terrace which opens out onto the dramatic volcanic landscape.
Unwind and immerse yourself in the extraordinary powers of the Blue Lagoon's geothermal seawater; the beauty of its volcanic surroundings; the astonishing subterranean spa, with its sprawling terraces that lead straight into the lagoon, and rituals that focus on the lagoon's three defining elements – silica, algae, and minerals; and the reinvented culinary heritage of Iceland at the Retreat's fabulous restaurant.
