Overview

This man-made geothermal spa is fed by mineral-rich water from the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant. The silica and sulfur content gives the lagoon its signature milky blue hue, creating a striking contrast against the surrounding volcanic landscape.

With an average water temperature of 37-39°C (98-102°F), the Blue Lagoon offers a soothing and rejuvenating bathing experience, especially in Iceland’s colder climate. The complex features modern amenities, including changing rooms, showers, a café, and a fine-dining restaurant. Visitors can also indulge in spa treatments such as silica mud masks, algae masks, and in-water massages.

Set against a dramatic backdrop of black lava fields, the Blue Lagoon’s otherworldly scenery enhances its appeal. Guests can unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters while taking in the breathtaking surroundings.

As a top tourist destination, the Blue Lagoon emphasizes sustainability and environmental responsibility. The water is naturally replenished every 48 hours, and the facilities are designed with eco-friendly practices in mind.
