Hotel Review
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon, Grindavík, Iceland
WHAT WE LOVE...
A bucket-list, futuristic, luxury hotel offering unique experiences including a surreal volcanic landscape, crater wine cellar and geothermal seawater to swim and relax in, benefitting body and mind. The spa is special, from the self-administered Blue Lagoon Retreat ritual to a floating massage, eyes covered as the therapist guides you through natural milky coloured waters, massaging as you go. Enjoy an afternoon tea beside the dramatic natural landscape of Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula and indulge in a delicious fine-dining dinner focussing on Icelandic produce with a twist. It's the kind of place you don't forget in a hurry, a restorative last stop if you've toured Iceland's rugged nature and you can purchase spa products to take a little of the healing lagoon with you.
THE DETAILS
Location
Simply going for a walk outside the retreat - it's almost a moonlike landscape - is memorable.
The hotel is located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, with hiking a popular activity. It's a 10-minute drive to Grindavík town centre.
By plane: direct flights from London to Reykjavík take 3 hours. The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the airport. Free parking on-site. skyscanner.net
Style & Character
The hotel is perfect for couples wanting a restorative romantic getaway, or friends looking for a unique shared spa experience. Nature is entwined in the design - even the cement walls get their rich dark hue from being mixed with natural black sand from the surrounding area.

We loved the toiletries in the room, which incorporate the skin-smoothing Blue Lagoon natural bioactive ingredients.
