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 such fond reminiscences of it, it’s change 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 wanting 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 manner Iceland and plenty 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 along 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 on this submit right here, lodge bookings in Iceland in summer season are wild.
So many had bought out and the Silica Lodge at The Blue Lagoon was one among 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’re welcomed with champagne whereas the check-in workers all flutter round you to be sure to have the whole lot 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 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 individuals attempt to promote this concept of supplying you with this unimaginable therapy 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 had been right here and I made a decision we’d should strive it.
It’s so value it by the best way.
Your pores and skin feels so unimaginable after and even for days after, I’d overlook that we’d completed it and surprise why my pores and skin seems to be and feels so good after which the reminiscences of the therapy we’d had right here would come flooding again.
I can’t suggest it sufficient.
You aren’t allowed to take photographs within the spa so I can’t present you a lot there.
There’s additionally a non-public blue lagoon space that solely visitors of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon can go to (you too can in case you are paying to go to the spa) and I realise now that you’re not allowed to take photographs 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 enjoyable within the fairly 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.
