The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula of southwestern Iceland and just a few minutes from Keflavik International Airport. Mineral-rich hot water from far beneath the earth forms the spectacular lagoon, where a luxurious health spa has been developed in the rugged lava landscape.

Through nature and science, Blue Lagoon spa treatments and massages provide you with the energy of the geothermal seawater and its active ingredients — minerals, silica and algae — that provide positive effects on the skin.
The outdoor spa area is spacious and more than one treatment can take place simultaneously, making it possible for couples to have a treatment at the same time. In-water spa treatments take place on a specially designed wooden bench and massages are performed on a mattress in the lagoon. Special blankets are used to keep guests warm.

Floating in the mineral-rich water, in close proximity to the Blue Lagoon’s extraordinary environment, surrounded by the natural elements and pure Icelandic air, is a unique experience for body and mind.

The Blue Lagoon is accessible by car or by bus from Reykjavik (approximately a 40-minute drive, towards Keflavik airport), and is also included on many organised bus tours. Many visitors stop for a dip in the Blue Lagoon immediately on arrival at the airport, or just before departure, as it is located close to the airport.
Blue Lagoon Iceland offers accommodation at the Blue Lagoon Clinic Hotel, located a five-minute walking distance from the Blue Lagoon. The rooms at the Clinic are well designed and spacious with a private bathroom and a small porch.
