GEOTHERMAL POOLS

THE SKY LAGOON

Our experience was fab. We spent the afternoon in this geothermal pool with a swim-up bar (the best spot to order a Prosecco Rosé ever!). The pool looks over a clifftop with breathtaking views of the North Atlantic. And if you're looking for a true spa experience, do what we did and go for their seven-step cleansing ritual. Book yourself in here

THE BLUE LAGOON

The Blue Lagoon has been around longer than the Sky Lagoon and is a tourist staple. It’s the best for great views of Iceland’s countryside while soaking in crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters, putting on a mineral-dense face mask, and sipping a crisp drink from the swim-up bar. Book yourself in here. Blue Lagoon
