The Retreat at Blue Lagoon

£££££

A Geothermal Retreat in the Lava

Built into an 800-year-old lava field on Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is a 60-suite hotel with its own private geothermal lagoon, a vast subterranean spa, a Michelin-starred restaurant and lava-and-lagoon views.

Silica waters in a volcanic landscape

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon is built into an 800-year-old lava landscape on the Reykjanes peninsula in south-west Iceland, close to Keflavik airport, drawing on the same geothermal, mineral-rich waters as the neighbouring Blue Lagoon. It has 60 minimalist suites in glass, moss and lava tones, from Lava and Moss junior suites to the Lagoon Suite with a step to the private lagoon and the bi-level Blue Lagoon Suite with its own lagoon, sauna and steam room.

Dining is led by Moss, awarded a Michelin star in 2023, with a seasonal tasting menu and a volcanic wine cellar, alongside the lava-set Lava Restaurant and the robe-friendly Spa Restaurant. The 2,300-square-metre Retreat Spa wraps around a private lagoon, with a sauna, steam cave, cold well and the signature Blue Lagoon Ritual. A stay includes unlimited spa and lagoon access, breakfast and morning yoga. A B Corp property, it suits wellness-focused travellers, couples and honeymooners who want a serene geothermal immersion near the airport.

Dining

Dining is led by Moss, which the resort states was awarded a Michelin star in 2023, with a seasonal tasting menu, a vegan menu and a subterranean volcanic wine cellar from executive chef Agnar Sverrisson.

The Lava Restaurant serves Icelandic classics built into the lava cliff, and the Spa Restaurant offers lighter fare to be enjoyed in a robe, with an in-water bar in the lagoon.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want a serene geothermal immersion near the airport. Settle into a suite in the lava field, soak in the private Retreat Lagoon, and work through the subterranean spa and its Blue Lagoon Ritual. Dine at the Michelin-starred Moss, and explore the Reykjanes peninsula on foot or by ATV. It is tranquil and wellness-led, with dining age limits, rather than a lively resort. Best for wellness-focused travellers, couples and honeymooners.
