Spas
“Blue Lagoon‘s geothermal seawater is one of a kind. It is rich of minerals, silica, and algae.”
The Blue Lagoon’s bioactive seawater is unlike any other water on the planet. It comes from volcanic aquifers, 2000 meters within the earth, where freshwater and ocean water converge in a tectonic realm of searing heat and immense pressure. Endowed with powers derived from the mineral and organic properties of the volcanic earth, the water cleanses, heals, rejuvenates, and undoes the effects of time—bringing radiance, in all its forms, to the mind and body.
The Blue Lagoon
In 2019, Blue Lagoon welcomed around 968,000 guests. This was a decrease from the previous year, which can be attributed to the decrease in tourists traveling to Iceland. However, the average income per guest increased and an emphasis was placed on various offerings and the development of guest experience. The supply of massages and treatments was increased, and a relaxation float was introduced. Guests were also offered a Blue Lagoon storytelling time where hosts tell guests about the history of the Lagoon and the various things it has to offer. Special emphasis was also placed on sales-oriented services throughout the front line, where the different products and service aspects offered in the Blue Lagoon are introduced.
Various improvement projects were implemented with the aim of improving guest experience, increasing efficiency, and reducing environmental impact.
