Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland - Retreat Suite - Geothermal Lagoon - Subterranean Spa
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is the country's most exclusive luxury resort - built into the 800-year-old lava field of the Reykjanes Peninsula, encircled by the milky-blue geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon, and home to a subterranean spa carved directly into the ancient lava rock. The 60-suite hotel opened in 2018 as Iceland's first five-star property and has been consistently recognised as one of the world's most extraordinary spa resorts. The geothermal water at the Blue Lagoon - found nowhere else on Earth - is the centrepiece of every stay: mineral-rich silica, algae, and volcanic minerals create water with documented skin and wellness benefits drawn from 30 years of Blue Lagoon research.
The Retreat Suite is the signature accommodation - floor-to-ceiling windows dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior, designed by Icelandic firm Basalt Architects to harmonize with the natural terrain through charcoal tiles, lime green accents, warm wood, and a freestanding bathtub in the room overlooking the lava and lagoon. The Lagoon Suite provides direct private access to a 30-square-metre private section of the geothermal water. Unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, the Retreat Lagoon, the Blue Lagoon, daily group yoga, afternoon Icelandic coffee, and all-inclusive breakfast are included in every suite stay.
The Retreat Spa is subterranean - chambers carved into the lava rock below the hotel, connected by passageways through the ancient volcanic formation. The signature treatment is the in-water massage, performed in the geothermal water of the Retreat Lagoon - the only in-water massage experience of this kind in Iceland. Moss Restaurant holds Michelin recognition and serves a tasting menu drawing on Icelandic seasonal ingredients with a 10-seat chef's table carved from lava rock quarried on-site.
The Retreat Suite at Blue Lagoon Iceland features floor-to-ceiling windows framing the milky-blue geothermal waters and the moss-covered lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula. The interior design by Basalt Architects uses the slate grey of the volcanic rock and the earthy tones of the surrounding moss in a palette of charcoal tiles, warm wood, and natural Icelandic materials. Each suite includes a freestanding bathtub in the room, B&B Italia bespoke furniture, a Bang and Olufsen Bluetooth speaker, an Illy coffee machine, and Blue Lagoon Iceland bath and skincare products throughout.
Unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, the private Retreat Lagoon, and the Blue Lagoon is included for all hotel guests. The daily Blue Lagoon Ritual - silica, algae, and mineral application in the geothermal water - is the signature wellness practice of every stay. Daily yoga sessions, afternoon Icelandic coffee with freshly baked goods in the lounge, and all-inclusive breakfast are standard inclusions.
Moss Restaurant at The Retreat at Blue Lagoon holds Michelin recognition and serves an Icelandic seasonal tasting menu that celebrates the culinary heritage and natural larder of Iceland - fresh Atlantic seafood, local lamb, Icelandic dairy, and foraged ingredients from the Reykjanes Peninsula, paired with an extensive wine list. The 10-seat Chef's Table is carved from lava rock quarried on-site during the hotel construction, and the volcanic fireplace architecture of the restaurant reflects the geological setting of the Blue Lagoon.
The Retreat Spa restaurant serves a healthy all-day menu for guests between treatments, and all-inclusive breakfast is served each morning in the lounge or spa restaurant. Afternoon Icelandic coffee with freshly baked goods is a daily ritual at The Retreat - a tradition drawn from the Icelandic afternoon coffee culture that has been a part of the national character since the 18th century.
