The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is an award-winning luxury resort offering an exclusive stay in Iceland's most popular geothermal spa. Featuring a 60-suite hotel, spa facilities, Michelin-starred dining, and a private geothermal lagoon, the Retreat Hotel provides the best way to experience the world-famous Blue Lagoon. 

Location & Nearby Attractions

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, just outside the town of Grindavik. This 5-star hotel is just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport and 50 minutes from Reykjavik, giving all travelers easy access, whether departing or arriving.

The resort provides a direct entrance to the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland's most popular attractions. Here, guests can experience the healing properties of mineral-rich and milky-blue waters surrounded by moss-covered lava fields.

Beyond the lagoon, the Reykjanes Peninsula offers a range of geothermal and volcanic attractions.

At the Gunnuhver Hot Springs,12 miles (20 kilometers) from the hotel, guests can explore powerful steam vents with bubbling mud pools. Further along is the Bridge Between Continents, where visitors can walk on a symbolic bridge between two tectonic plates. 

For adventure seekers, the Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnukagigar Volcanoes are also nearby. Both offer the chance to witness Iceland's most recent volcanic eruption sites through hikes and guided tours. Travelers to these volcanic areas are advised to check for up-to-date information about trail conditions and safety before going.

Those looking for cultural experiences can visit the town of Keflavik, where fresh seafood and local delicacies await. It is also home to the Viking World Museum and the Icelandic Museum of Rock' n' Roll.
