The Blue Lagoon is probably the most famous hot spring in Iceland — and yeah, it’s touristy, but it’s one of those places you have to experience at least once. 🛁 The milky-blue geothermal water is rich in minerals like silica and sulfur, which are said to be great for your skin. Plus, that surreal blue colour? Totally natural. 💙

The lagoon is built in a lava field near Grindavik, and soaking in the warm water surrounded by rugged black rocks feels like you’ve stepped onto another planet. There are little coves to explore, a swim-up bar for drinks (yes, wine in a hot spring is a vibe 🍷), and free silica mud masks to slather on your face.

It’s definitely more of a spa experience than a natural hot spring, but the facilities are top-notch — showers, changing rooms, and even a fancy restaurant if you’re feeling indulgent.

Pro tip: Book ahead — it gets busy, and tickets sell out fast. And if you’re looking to splurge, go for the Retreat Spa for a more private experience with its own lagoon. Honestly? It’s iconic for a reason.
