Surrounded by endless moss-covered lava fields, the world-
renowned Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa guarantees a
day of pure bliss. Its aquamarine waters, surging from 2,000
meters below, contain a unique combination of silica mud,
mineral salts and blue-green algae, proven to have beneficial
effects on all skin types. They are also believed to help fight
psoriasis, skin diseases and eczema. Slather the healing milky
mud on your face and arms and enjoy its benefits. Next,
explore the range of steam baths and hot tubs, maybe even
indulging in an outdoor massage. Complete the experience
by floating towards the poolside bar and then soak in the
comfortably warm waters with a drink in hand. The Blue
Lagoon also operates a full-fledged spa using its own skin-
care range based on its natural active ingredients. Or you can
extend the experience to your own bathroom by purchasing
something from the on-site store. Conclude your visit by
dining at the Blue Lagoon’s restaurant, Lava, or by having a
cocktail on the rooftop platform overlooking the Lagoon and
the lava fields. The Blue Lagoon is a 45-minute drive from
Reykjavík and close to Keflavik International Airport.
