The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is so superb.
A lot so that each time we go to Iceland we at all times make it a degree 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 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 totally free – with none excursions) and in addition Dyrhólaey (lastly!) meant that downtime in The Retreat at Blue Lagoon was one thing we have 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 beautiful 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 Resort at Blue Lagoon however as I discussed in this put up right here, resort bookings in Iceland in summer season 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 ebook 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’re welcomed with champagne whereas the check-in employees all flutter round you to ensure you have the whole lot 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 supplying you with this unimaginable remedy 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 have been right here and I made a decision we’d need to 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 finished it and marvel why my pores and skin seems and feels so good after which the recollections of the remedy we’d had right here would come flooding again.
I can’t advocate 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 non-public blue lagoon space that solely company of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon can go to (you may as well in case you are 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 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 all the day simply enjoyable within the moderately 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.
