Starting This Spring You’ll be Able to Stay at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland

Last updated 21st May 2018

The Blue Lagoon Iceland is probably already at the top of your list of must-visit destinations. You’ve likely seen gorgeous photos posted by friends and influencers floating in the warm turquoise waters surrounded by the  otherworldly lava landscape. Starting in April, guests will also be able to stay at this stunning location at the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland. 

The 62-suite Retreat will invite guests to experience the Retreat Spa, the Retreat Lagoon, and Moss Restaurant in addition to the rooms and suites. All ages of travelers are welcome at the Retreat, but families will want to note that children under 9 aren’t permitted to stay in the ground-level suites and the Spa has a minimum age of 14.

The Rooms

Set in the centuries-old lava and surrounded by the Blue Lagoon’s revitalizing waters, each of the 62 suites will feature a minimalist aesthetic designed to bring the dramatic terrain of Iceland in-room with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as lighting set to mimic the phases of the sun. Arranged on two levels, the suites on the lower level feature private terraces, providing views of the lava and the surrounding lagoon, with some offering guests direct access to the lagoon. The upper level suites will offer private balconies overlooking the moss-covered horizon, showcasing the stunning views that change with the weather and the light.

The Spa

On the south shore of the Blue Lagoon, the Retreat Spa, offered to both overnight guests of the Retreat and day guests, features a steam room built into the lava rock, a cold well, in-water massages, treatment rooms offering bench massages and beauty treatments, a Spa restaurant and much more. Exclusive to the Retreat is the Blue Lagoon Ritual, a spacious sanctuary of interconnected chambers where guests cover their bodies with the three treasures of geothermal seawater—silica, algae and minerals. The Retreat Spa will also allow guests to access the Retreat Lagoon, a new Blue Lagoon experience where the mineral-rich water flows around the Retreat through a terraced concourse of lava.

The Restaurant

The Retreat will offer guests a taste of Iceland and its culinary traditions at the Moss Restaurant. Each dish highlights the country’s seas, mountains, rivers and farms, using fresh, seasonal and regional ingredients. Moss Restaurant will also feature a 10-seat Chef’s Table made of lava rock that was quarried onsite, and the Wine Cellar, which was built into a cavern of multi-hued, frozen-in-time lava that erupted in 1226.

Beyond 

Guests of the Retreat will also be invited to partake in complimentary daily yoga sessions as well as guided hikes through the UNESCO Global Geopark in which the Retreat sits. Additionally, the Retreat will offer guests exclusive access to Iceland’s lesser-traveled, unique surroundings including lava hiking in a lunar environment, one-of-a-kind Northern Lights viewing tours, and much more.

Reservations can be made now for stays in April 2018.
