A natural wonder: The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is Iceland’s premier luxury resort encircled by the world-famous, one-of-a-kind Blue Lagoon, where mineral waters soothe body and soul. 

The curative waters around the 60-suite hotel are enhanced by nature’s eye candy: the surrounding snow-covered, mossy mountains. The outdoor geothermal seawater soaks, a subterranean Retreat Spa with treatments like in-water massage and float therapy nestled in an 800-year-old lava flow, and Michelin-starred Moss Restaurant reflect the tastes and textures of the terrain. 

This full immersion with nature also provides healing benefits—the lagoon waters help relieve skin conditions like psoriasis, acne and eczema. Its research and development center has developed a scientifically beneficial Blue Lagoon skin care line that harnesses the silica, microalgae and minerals in a harmonious, sustainable eco-cycle of restorative properties and holistic benefits from the land and sea. bluelagoon.com
