The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is so superb.
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 practice now as a result of it’s what we did on the primary journey and as we’ve got such fond recollections of it, it’s turn out to be 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 without spending a dime – with none excursions) and in addition Dyrhólaey (lastly!) meant that downtime in The Retreat at Blue Lagoon was one thing we have 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 attractive however in that stripped-back minimalist manner Iceland and a number of the Nordic nations are well-known for.
There’s champagne to welcome you within the room and every little 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 publish right here, lodge bookings in Iceland in summer time are wild.
So many had bought out and the Silica Lodge at The Blue Lagoon was one in every 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 employees all flutter round you to ensure you have every little thing you want.
The principle 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 remedy which, to be sincere, 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 individuals attempt to promote this concept of providing you with this unimaginable remedy that’s distinctive to them however really has you feeling no totally different to every other spa and even such as you had been to a spa to start with.
Nonetheless, we have been right here and I made a decision we’d should attempt it.
It’s so value it by the way in which.
Your pores and skin feels so unimaginable after and even for days after, I’d neglect that we’d carried out it and marvel why my pores and skin appears to be like and feels so good after which the recollections of the remedy we’d had right here would come flooding again.
I can’t suggest it sufficient.
You aren’t allowed to take images within the spa so I can’t present you a lot there.
There’s additionally a personal blue lagoon space that solely visitors of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon can go to (you can even if you’re paying to go to the spa) and I realise now that you’re not allowed to take images there however we really did whereas we have 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 also be offered as a part of your keep right here and apart from that and a go to to the restaurant for dinner, we just about spent the whole day simply enjoyable within the somewhat 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.
