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 such fond recollections 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 shut (and at no cost – with none excursions) and likewise Dyrhólaey (lastly!) 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 final space right here.
The rooms are completely beautiful however in that stripped-back minimalist means Iceland and a number of the Nordic international locations are well-known for.
There’s champagne to welcome you within the room and the whole lot 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 e book the Silica Resort at Blue Lagoon however as I discussed in this publish right here, lodge bookings in Iceland in summer time are wild.
So many had offered out and the Silica Resort at The Blue Lagoon was one in every of them.
This left us with The Retreat at Blue Lagoon to e book 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 Resort at Blue Lagoon.
A number of notches really.
For starters, you’re welcomed with champagne whereas the check-in employees all flutter round you to ensure you have the whole lot you want.
The primary spa is right here and it has this factor referred to as The Rituals which is sort of a pores and skin cleaning and rejuvenation therapy which, to be trustworthy, I kinda initially rolled my eyes at.
I feel 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 therapy that’s distinctive to them however really has you feeling no totally different to some other 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 must attempt it.
It’s so price it by the best way.
Your pores and skin feels so unbelievable after and even for days after, I’d overlook that we’d achieved it and marvel why my pores and skin seems and feels so good after which the recollections of the therapy 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 (you can even 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 honest, 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 also be offered as a part of your keep right here and except for that and a go to to the restaurant for dinner, we just about spent your entire day simply stress-free within the moderately heat waters of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon.
It was magnificent.
It was additionally the proper relaxation cease earlier than re-attempting to hike to the close by erupting volcano.
