Discover the Sky Lagoon

Overview

Located just minutes from Reykjavík, Sky Lagoon offers a luxurious geothermal spa experience that merges traditional Icelandic bathing culture with modern hospitality. This oceanside retreat provides an immersive escape into Iceland’s natural beauty, featuring a unique seven-step ritual designed to rejuvenate and relax visitors.

The Seven-Step Ritual at the Sky Lagoon

The heart of the Sky Lagoon experience is the seven-step ritual, which is inspired by ancient Icelandic traditions and modern wellness practices. Here’s a detailed look at each step:

1. Slow Down in the Lagoon: Begin your journey by entering the warm waters of the lagoon. This initial step is about slowing down and letting the warmth embrace you. The serene environment, with views towards Mount Keilir and the Atlantic Ocean, sets the tone for relaxation.
2. Cold Plunge: After soaking in the warm lagoon, invigorate your senses with a cold plunge. This step helps to tighten the skin and boost circulation, providing a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the lagoon.
3. Sauna with a View: Enter a sauna that offers panoramic views of the ocean. The heat helps to cleanse your skin and relax your muscles while the stunning views enhance the experience.
4. Cold Mist: Step out of the sauna and into a cold mist. This step rejuvenates the skin and enhances the benefits of the sauna, offering a cool, refreshing sensation.
5. Sky Scrub: Apply an exfoliating body scrub to cleanse and invigorate your skin. This step is essential for removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin feeling fresh and renewed.
6. Steam Room: Enter a steam room where the heat and humidity work together to open your pores and cleanse your skin from within. The steam also helps to relax your muscles and mind.
7. Shower and Return to the Lagoon: Finish the ritual with a relaxing shower before returning to the warm waters of the lagoon. This final step seals in the benefits of the ritual, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
