The Blue Lagoon of Iceland

Nestled within Iceland’s stunning Reykjanes Peninsula, the Blue Lagoon is a world-renowned wonder that beckons all travelers visiting Iceland.

What is the Blue Lagoon?

The story of the Blue Lagoon is a fascinating journey through time. While the modern Blue Lagoon we know today officially opened its doors in 1992 under the Blue Lagoon company, its roots trace back to 1976. 

Originally, it was a simple pool formed in 1976 from the waste water running from the nearby geothermal plant. It served as a bathing spot for workers at the same plant. However, the transformative effects of its mineral-rich waters on the skin did not go unnoticed. 

By 1981, news of its skin-healing properties had spread far and wide, attracting visitors from neighboring towns.

In the present day, the Blue Lagoon stands as a renowned global tourist destination, with its milky blue waters drawing travelers from across the globe. Recent years have witnessed significant expansions and enhancements, with the addition of hotels, spas, restaurants, and the exclusive Retreat Spa, transforming the area into a luxurious resort. 

Additionally, you can now bring a piece of the Blue Lagoon’s magic home with skincare products crafted from the rejuvenating silica mud found within its waters.

Conveniently located near Keflavik International Airport, the Blue Lagoon makes for an ideal stopover for travelers arriving or departing from the airport. With luggage storage and bathing suit rental options available , you can truly unwind and savor the experience, knowing that all your needs are well taken care of.
