The Spa at the Retreat opens its doors

 The Spa at the Retreat opens its doors

The Spa at the Retreat has opened in Iceland’s Blue Lagoon; one of the 25 Wonders of the World, situated in a private inlet of the UNESCO Global Geopark.

 

The subterranean Retreat Spa offers relaxation, rejuvenation and exploration and takes full advantage of the Lagoon’s revitalizing geothermal waters. Available to both overnight and day guests, the Retreat Spa offers a steamroom built into the lava rock, a cold well, in-water massages, bench massages and beauty treatments.

 

“We’re proud to finally share the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland with the world,” says Grímur Sæmundsen, founder of Blue Lagoon. “Our team and partners have worked extremely hard to bring this luxury experience to life. Set in the centuries-old lava, our spa offers guests an experience like no other in Iceland.”

 

The spa journey involves the Blue Lagoon Ritual – an exhilarating cycle of wellbeing where guests can cover their bodies with mineral salt, silica, and algae. Exclusive to the Retreat, the Ritual offers uses a spacious area of interconnected chambers including the Retreat Lagoon, an experience where the mineral-rich water flows through a terraced concourse of lava.

 

The Retreat’s Spa Restaurant offers seasonal meals including “Sushi Around Iceland”, shots of thyme and crowberry or algae and smoothies based on skyr – an Icelandic dairy offering.

 

The 62-suite hotel sits on top of an 800-year-old, moss-covered lava flow, encircled by the waters of the lagoon. Floor-to-ceiling windows and “human-centric lighting” mimic the phases of the sun.
