The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is so superb.
A lot so that each time we go to Iceland we all the time 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 have now 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 having 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 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 overall space right here.
The rooms are completely beautiful however in that stripped-back minimalist manner Iceland and quite a lot of the Nordic international locations are well-known for.
There’s champagne to welcome you within the room and all the things 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 guide the Silica Resort at Blue Lagoon however as I discussed on this publish right here, resort bookings in Iceland in summer season are wild.
So many had bought out and the Silica Resort at The Blue Lagoon was considered one of them.
This left us with The Retreat at Blue Lagoon to guide and in order that’s how we ended up staying there.
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon nevertheless simply take issues up a notch in comparison with The Silica Resort at Blue Lagoon.
A number of notches really.
For starters, you might be welcomed with champagne whereas the check-in workers all flutter round you to ensure you have all the things you want.
The principle 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 believe 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 unimaginable therapy that’s distinctive to them however really has you feeling no completely different to another 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 strive it.
It’s so price it by the way in which.
Your pores and skin feels so unimaginable after and even for days after, I’d overlook that we’d executed it and surprise 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 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 company of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon can go to (you may as well if you’re 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 supplied 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 your entire 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. Learn all about that on this publish right here.
