the sPa
In Laugar’s Spa you enter an aquatic haven where you can indulge both
body and soul. Six different saunas and steam rooms are available, each
one with a different theme, where you can experience sounds of nature, a
starry night sky and enjoy different aromas. Soothe tired limbs in a Thalasso-
therapy Jacuzzi, rejuvenate tired feet in a special foot bath, switch between
hot and cold showers in special cubicles or enjoy delicious food and drink in
one of the restaurants on the premises. In soothing surroundings, body and
soul can be restored in an oasis of peace and warmth. The six-meter-wide
waterfall shows the unique design features of Sigurdur Gudmundsson, one
of Iceland’s most prominent artists. His artwork and sculptures in smooth
granite make the whole spa experience aesthetically perfect. In between
beauty and massage treatments, chill out in the relaxation room – which
features a central fireplace – shut your eyes and forget all your worries.
