Blue Lagoon, Iceland | Original Travel

Not too far from Rekjavik, the country’s capital, lies the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s hot spring healing hub. Nestled amid a sea of craggy lava fields, these geothermal pools are like jewels in Iceland's crown, a place where visitors can bask in the warm embrace of Earth's healing powers. As you step into the lagoon’s warm silky waters, the silica and minerals wash over your body, easing sore muscles and soothing dry skin, leaving you simply soaking in the warm water and gazing around at the otherworldly scenery. The bright blue water is, in some places, quite hot, making it perfect for relaxing and unwinding in Iceland’s chilly climate.

The spa offers a range of luxurious amenities from saunas and steam rooms to a relaxation room and a restaurant that serves up delicious locally-sourced Icelandic cuisine. Blue Lagoon holidays are all about taking advantage of the relaxing spa treatments, massages, facials and body wraps, all of which utilise the healing properties of the azure geothermal waters. The whorls of steam rising from the water create a magical, otherworldly atmosphere that only add ethereal wonder to the numerous photos you’re bound to take of your Blue Lagoon holidays.
