The Blue Lagoon is a unique geothermal spa in a lava field south of Reykjavik. The geothermal seawater is fed directly to the Blue Lagoon from deep wells, and the water stays warm and inviting year round at 100 -110 degrees Fahrenheit (36 - 39 degrees Celsius).
The Blue Lagoon's warm water and natural active ingredients (mineral salts, silica and blue green algae) help you relax and escape the stresses and strains of daily life. The lagoon's white silica mud gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin, and has a revitalizing effect. The blue green algae nourishes and softens the skin, while the mineral salts balance and relax body and soul.
Swimming costumes, towels and bath robes are available for hire, and an indoor Blue Lagoon and geothermal sauna are also on site.
Bathing in this surreal environment is a unique experience that no one should miss. It's sure to be one of the highlights of your visit to Iceland.
