The Blue Lagoon is a magical mystical geothermal pool in Iceland that is surrounded by soft green moss and black volcanic rocks as far as the eye can see. It is the perfect place to float your stress away in the always perfect 38 degree C water. Keep your travel companions close because it is easy to lose each other through the steam from the hot springs and the white masks that are seen on every visitor who indulges in their signature Silica mud masks.
The Blue Lagoon is a quick 20 minute drive from the Keflavik airport and 40 minute drive to the centre of Reykjavik. Taxis or shuttles can be arranged for transport. Pre-bookings for the Blue Lagoon are required and can be purchased online.
If you are looking for accommodations, The Blue Lagoon recently added two options: Silica Hotel and Retreat Hotel. The Silica Hotel is a comfortable option with key features including premium entrance to the Blue Lagoon, complimentary breakfast, and entrance to the Silica Lagoon (private lagoon for hotel guests only). The Retreat Hotel offers exclusive suites with key features that include access to the Retreat Spa, Blue Lagoon, Retreat Lagoon, Blue Lagoon Ritual, A la carte Breakfast, Group Yoga Sessions, and Guided Group Hikes.
