The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is so wonderful.
A lot so that each time we go to Iceland we at all times make it some extent to remain on the Blue Lagoon.
It’s really one thing of a convention now as a result of it’s what we did on the primary journey and as we’ve got such fond reminiscences of it, it’s turn into a must-do on each journey to Iceland.
It’s additionally actually near the airport so it additionally feels fairly sensible too.
Our relaxed day earlier than turned out to not be so relaxed however with the ability to see puffins so close (and for free – without any tours) and also Dyrhólaey (finally!) meant that downtime in The Retreat at Blue Lagoon was one thing we had been trying ahead to a lot that we confirmed up 3 hours earlier than check-in even opened.
Let me present you across the room and the overall space right here.
The rooms are completely attractive however in that stripped-back minimalist means Iceland and loads of the Nordic nations are well-known for.
There’s champagne to welcome you within the room and every thing within the minibar is included together with your keep – even the alcoholic drinks.
And all of it will get topped up/changed within the night with the turndown service.
On this journey, we really initially tried to ebook the Silica Lodge at Blue Lagoon however as I discussed in this post here, resort bookings in Iceland in summer season are wild.
So many had bought out and the Silica Lodge at The Blue Lagoon was certainly one of them.
This left us with The Retreat at Blue Lagoon to ebook and in order that’s how we ended up staying there.
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon nonetheless simply take issues up a notch in comparison with The Silica Lodge at Blue Lagoon.
A number of notches really.
For starters, you might be welcomed with champagne whereas the check-in workers all flutter round you to be sure you have every thing you want.
The primary spa is right here and it has this factor known as The Rituals which is sort of a pores and skin cleaning and rejuvenation remedy which, to be trustworthy, I kinda initially rolled my eyes at.
I believe I used to be simply sceptical as a result of I’ve been to so many spas the place folks attempt to promote this concept of supplying you with this unbelievable remedy that’s distinctive to them however really has you feeling no completely different to another spa and even such as you had been to a spa to start with.
Nonetheless, we had been right here and I made a decision we’d need to attempt it.
It’s so price it by the way in which.
Your pores and skin feels so unbelievable after and even for days after, I’d overlook that we’d achieved it and surprise why my pores and skin appears to be like and feels so good after which the reminiscences of the remedy we’d had right here would come flooding again.
I can’t advocate it sufficient.
You aren’t allowed to take pictures within the spa so I can’t present you a lot there.
There’s additionally a personal blue lagoon space that solely friends of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon can go to (it’s also possible to in case you are paying to go to the spa) and I realise now that you’re not allowed to take pictures there however we really did whereas we had been there.
To be truthful, it was pretty late and there was nobody else round so it didn’t actually make a lot of a distinction.
It did really feel so good to have nobody else round although as a result of it kinda felt like we had the entire place all to ourselves.
Afternoon tea can be offered as a part of your keep right here and other than that and a go to to the restaurant for dinner, we just about spent all the day simply stress-free within the reasonably heat waters of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon.
It was magnificent.
It was additionally the right relaxation cease earlier than re-attempting to hike to the close by erupting volcano.
