Itinerary


The Retreat Lagoon

Intimate. Enchanting. Extraordinary. A mesmerizing expanse of mineral-rich warmth bounded by centuries-old lava canyons.

A place of intimacy, warmth, and enchantment.


An extraordinary waterscape

Flowing from the same wellspring of geothermal seawater as the Blue Lagoon, this mineral-rich waterscape opens new vistas of wellbeing.


Experience the privacy

Enjoy a more secluded way to commune with the storied waters of the Blue Lagoon. Wander through the lava canyons and hidden corridors. Become one with the mineral-rich warmth and the volcanic earth.


The Blue Lagoon Ritual

The Ritual is a cycle of wellbeing that highlights the Blue Lagoon's trinity of natural wonders: silica, algae, and minerals. Enjoy the spacious sanctuary and feel the rejuvenating powers of the volcanic earth.

Once you have enjoyed the blue waters of the Retreat Lagoon and opened your pores in the sauna, you enter the ritual chamber. In a spacious sanctuary of three interconnected chambers, you cover your body with the treasures of geothermal seawater.

  • Rain showers

Plunging rain showers are located throughout the ritual chamber and offer a replenishing cleansing between each step of the ritual.

  • Silica

Silica, the Blue Lagoon’s iconic white mineral, cleanses and strengthens your skin—giving you a fresh, pure, radiant appearance.

  • Algae mask

Blue Lagoon algae is extraordinarily dynamic. It renews, nourishes, and moisturizes your skin— opening the door to an enduring, youthful glow.

  • Minerals

The Blue Lagoon’s uniquely potent array of minerals have energizing effects on your mind and body—exfoliating your skin and stimulating your circulation.

  • Mineral oils

Once you have gone through all three chambers, you apply Blue Lagoon skin care oils to your replenished skin. We recommend relaxing by the fireplace for a while before entering the lagoon again so the oils can be fully absorbed into your skin.


The Retreat Spa

A geothermal paradise of timeless wellbeing.

Covering 2300 square meters and surrounded by the Retreat Lagoon, this subterranean sanctuary embodies the inspiring interplay of nature, design, and the radiant powers of geothermal seawater. Encompassing multiple experience areas, the spa journey culminates with the Blue Lagoon Ritual, bringing you into harmony with the nourishing wonders of the volcanic earth.

Blue Lagoon


Where the powers of science and the wonders of nature create transformative experiences.

Founded in 1992 to unlock the benefits of geothermal seawater, Blue Lagoon Iceland has evolved into a company encompassing transformative spa experiences, research and development, sustainability, culinary enjoyment, a renowned line of skin care, and the convergence of hospitality and wellness.

In 2012, the company's iconic centerpiece—the Blue Lagoon—was named one of 25 wonders of the world by National Geographic, propelling the majestic, healing waters into the upper echelons of global travel destinations.

In 2018, the company completed a remarkable expansion, opening the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland. Included in Time Magazine's list of the World's 100 Greatest Places, the complex features a 60-room luxury hotel, a subterranean spa, a mineral-rich lagoon, and two restaurants. With societal uplift as one of its core mandates, all of Blue Lagoon Iceland's concerns are powered by sustainable energy.
