If you are visiting Iceland you must go to The Blue Lagoon. This is not a suggestion, it is a demand.

Set in the surreal surroundings of an ancient lava field on the Reykjanes peninsula, this geothermal wonder is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

The Blue Lagoon is the most scenic place to hang out in mineral-rich milky, aqua blue waters that simmer at temperatures between 37 and 39°C. While the lagoon looks kind of natural, it is actually artificial and was created as an over-spill pool for the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power station. Iceland’s power comes from the geothermal land and when heat and electricity has been generated from the water at Svartsengi, it is recycled into the beautiful Blue Lagoon to roast the tourists.

Other than the Lagoon itself, there are also several saunas, a healthy restaurant and various spa treatment options. Blue Lagoon has been selected the best Medical/Thermal spa and one of the top 10 spas in the world by Conde Nast. It is the most popular visitor attraction in Iceland for a reason. An intensely relaxing reason.

The first time you submerge into the warm, cloudy blue waters will feel like the bath you have waited for your entire life. As someone who loves baths more than life itself, it felt like being reborn. Watching the rising steam dance and swirl around you, above the waters is a dramatic sight, especially if you’re lucky enough to witness a sunset.

No trip to Iceland is complete without visiting Blue Lagoon. It is visually spectacular and physically rejuvenating. Do yourself a favour and have a soak.

Just be warned, it is a bit smelly. Oh, and don’t wear white bathers, because they won’t be white for long. And it is Iceland, so you will have to get naked.

Travelling to Blue Lagoon is easy. From the main highway that connects Keflavík and Reykjavík, turn at the sign marked “Blue Lagoon” and drive aprox. 10 km/6,5 miles. The above map shows the routes.
