Great place to immerse yourself in warm, milky, mineral-rich water that gushes from the bowels at Blue Lagoon
A must for your first visit! Here you can immerse yourself in the warm (38°C on average), milky, mineral-rich water that gushes from the bowels of the Earth. With black volcanic rock, wisps of white smoke and the aluminum sheen of the geothermal plant, it's a feast for the eyes and the body. Access to this superb site is easy: take Route 43 to Grindavík from the Reykjavík-Keflavík expressway.
Although much sought-after by travelers from all over the world, there's plenty of space to keep you from feeling too cramped. The huge pool is bordered in places by lichen-covered volcanic stones (or snow, depending on the season). You can also order a drink at the half-submerged bar, or cover your face with a silica mask at the mud bar , to revitalize your skin. A small volcanic stone grotto and artificial waterfalls are part of the decor.
Warning: the silica in this water can wreak havoc on silver jewelry. Take care to remove them. And don't submerge your head in the water: your hair will quickly turn to steel wool and need several shampoos to regain its vitality.
Two hotels are located in situ silica , which is surrounded by lava and has its own lagoon, and the very select Retreat, whose suites have their own hot-water pool. However, they are not accessible to all budgets.

Ranked among Iceland's most emblematic natural sites, the Blue Lagoon is located in the Svartsengi region, around 50 km from Reykjavik. This unique location offers an unforgettable sensory experience in the heart of a spectacular volcanic landscape. The Blue Lagoon is a renowned spa, whose mineral-rich geothermal waters, including silica and algae, are renowned for their beneficial effects on the skin. Surrounded by fields of black lava, you can bathe in milky-blue water maintained at a pleasant temperature of 37-39°C, conducive to relaxation and regeneration. The site offers experiences to suit all visitors. With the standard ticket, you have access to the lagoon and can apply a silica mask directly in the water. For a more exclusive immersion, the Retreat Spa offers a veritable wellness sanctuary with personalized treatments, private relaxation areas and access to an underground lagoon. To extend your visit, you can stay at one of the two on-site hotels. The Silica Hotel combines comfort and serenity, while the Retreat Hotel offers upscale accommodation in an exceptional natural setting. When it comes to gastronomy, the Blue Lagoon is home to three restaurants: Lava, Moss and Spa, offering varied and refined culinary experiences. The site is also home to the BL+ brand, a range of cosmetics inspired by the lagoon's minerals and algae. These products are available in the Blue Lagoon boutiques, as well as at Keflavík airport and several outlets in Reykjavik.

Cet endroit était parfait après toutes les randonnées que j'avais faites auparavant. Il est vraiment recommandé d'y aller le dernier jour pour soulager ses muscles et se détendre avant de partir. J'aime vraiment les saunas, le sauna turc était si bon que j'étais si triste de l'avoir trouvé juste avant de partir ???? parce que j'aurais littéralement été là plus longtemps. Les employés étaient si sympathiques et j'étais si heureux de rencontrer des Lituaniens ????????????
Si vous avez peur de prendre votre téléphone, ne vous inquiétez pas, il y a des endroits où vous pouvez le mettre sans qu'il soit mouillé, mais il pourrait être pris, alors faites attention. Les masques étaient très amusants aussi j'ai juste pleinement apprécié mon séjour là-bas.
N'OUBLIEZ PAS DE METTRE DE L'APRÈS-SHAMPOING SUR VOS CHEVEUX. Il y a du shampoing et de l'après-shampoing gratuits dans les douches, alors mettez-en une petite quantité avant d'aller dans l'eau bleue. Amusez-vous bien !
Nous avons trouvé les piscines très fréquentées, avec de longues files d'attente pour les boissons et les masques. L'eau était agréable et excellente pour la peau, mais la piscine est inégale et il est facile d'y glisser.
Le déjeuner était excellent et tout le monde a apprécié son repas.
Dans l'ensemble, c'est une excellente visite, mais il y avait beaucoup de monde, alors préparez-vous à faire la queue.
