Hotel: The retreat at blue lagoon Iceland Blue Lagoon Geothermal Hot Spring Hotel
Address: Located in the 'World Geological Park' on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, it sits in the tundra, by the Blue Lagoon.
It is the first and currently the only ultra-five-star luxury hotel in Iceland. With its creative wild luxury, it has become the heart of the Blue Lagoon and the first choice for hot spring guests.
Geographical environment: Located in Grindavik, Iceland, within the UNESCO Global Geopark, The Retreat, also known as the Blue Lagoon Hot Spring Hotel in Iceland, breaks the boundaries between nature, architecture, and experience. Due to the rich content of silica and sulfur in its geothermal seawater, it has formed many natural therapeutic hot spring pools, and the hotel is built on these favorable geographical conditions.
Design: The designer is inspired by the Icelandic scenery, taking the tundra, lava, and glacier colors as the main tone, with a lighting design that cleverly blends humanization and nature, allowing the architecture and living to return to the earth, to the original. The hotel is full of improvisational creations, discoveries, explorations, and full use of nature. It is its unique geological structure and natural environment that has created the unique scenery of the Blue Lagoon Hot Spring Hotel.
Rooms: 62 suites are distributed in the building, water surrounds the entire building like a moat, each room is located within the lava, the hot spring extends to each house, making water, land, moss, and rocks within reach.
Hot Spring SPA: As a world-class health resort, the Blue Lagoon hot springs have abundant minerals in the water and hot spring mud, such as silicon and sulfur. Therefore, doing SPA in the Retreat Hotel is a completely different experience. From dry steaming, steam to massage and soaking, all use mineral mud and bath salts from the volcano, which maximizes the effect of the hot springs and has won many global SPA awards, which is expected.

Approaching the Blue Lagoon, anticipation surged within us like the steam rising from its mineral-rich waters. As we neared the iconic geothermal spa, the air was thick with the scent of silica and sulfur, a soothing reminder of the healing properties of the lagoon's azure depths. The tranquil beauty of the Blue Lagoon's milky blue waters, set against the stark lava fields of Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, left us in awe of nature's power to rejuvenate and heal. Walking along the boardwalks surrounding the lagoon, we were captivated by the ethereal mist rising from the water's surface and the gentle hum of conversation as guests relaxed in the warm embrace of the mineral-rich waters. Standing on the shores of the Blue Lagoon, we felt a sense of serenity and renewal, a moment of blissful escape from the stresses of everyday life amidst the timeless beauty of Iceland's geothermal wonders.
Looking ahead, our next dream destination beckons from the sun-drenched beaches of Bora Bora, French Polynesia. We envision lounging in overwater bungalows, snorkeling in crystal-clear lagoons teeming with vibrant marine life, and savoring the flavors of tropical cuisine as the sun sets in a blaze of colors over the South Pacific. Bora Bora's idyllic beauty and laid-back charm promise an unforgettable escape, where every moment is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in paradise and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime. It's a destination that speaks to our sense of adventure and longing for relaxation, inviting us to unwind in luxury and embrace the magic of island life amidst some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.
