Blue Lagoon - Geothermal spa

The Blue Lagoon is a unique geothermal spa where guests enjoy relaxing in warm mineral rich geothermal seawater.

Open daily year round, a visit to the Blue Lagoon is an adventure weather you choose to relax in the blue waters surrounded by snow in the middle of winter or while enjoying Iceland's long summer daylight.

The water stays warm and inviting at 98 - 102�F and derives its distinct blue color from the Blue Lagoon blue green algae and white Silica mud. Both are known for positive effects on skin and provide the water with a soft milky feel.

Scientific studies conducted in recent years have confirmed the health-giving properties of the lagoon waters. Applying white Silica Mud to face and body is an essential part of the Blue Lagoon experience. The natural white mud gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin while the salts and warm geothermal seawater adds to general wellnes and leaves your body rejuvinated, soft and flexible.
