GEOTHERMAL Spa TherapyBlue Lagoon, Iceland

Spread over an 800-year-old lava field in the heart of the Reykjanes Peninsula – a UNESCO Geopark in Iceland, Blue Lagoon is a geothermal seawater wonder, offering a luxurious geothermal spa experience. Just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport and 50 minutes from Reykjavík, Blue Lagoon is simultaneously remote and easily accessible. It holds nine million litres of geothermal seawater and was named in 2012 as one of National Geographic's ‘25 Wonders of the World.’ The unique properties of its waters provide an enchanting lagoon experience. In addition to the sublime pleasures of geothermal seawater, the lagoon offers a sauna, a steam room, a waterfall, a luxury lounge, a cafe, an in-water silica bar, an in-water beverage bar, and a tantalising selection of in-water massage and treatments. While floating in the soothing warmth of the water, the in-water massage is deep, relaxing, and conducted with Blue Lagoon mineral massage oil. This experience is the foundation of all other Blue Lagoon massages and treatments. A typical Blue Lagoon Massage cleanses and strengthens the skin, scrubbed and polished with an invigorating combination of the Lagoon’s minerals and oils followed by an algae or silica wrap. The final stage of the treatment is a 50-minute, full body, in-water, relaxing massage. The lagoon is enriched with unique concentrations of silica, algae, and minerals, the primary, rejuvenating components of geothermal seawater. A sanctuary of relaxation and healing, Silica Hotel is just a kilometre away from Blue Lagoon. It comprises 35 bright and spacious double rooms which offer private facilities and a veranda, with breathtaking views of the surrounding lava fields. The hotel caters to a private geothermal lagoon, complete spa facilities, and a clinic for psoriasis treatments. The treatment is focused on maximum effectiveness in the shortest time. It includes daily serum wraps, aquatic massage therapy and a home care kit to take away with you. The intensive treatment is available for a period of one to two weeks, with the possibility of adding extra days.
