A LANDMARK OF LUXURY IN A VOLCANIC LANDSCAPE

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is one of the country’s most iconic luxury stays, set within a vast lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Designed as a private sanctuary around the world famous Blue Lagoon, the hotel combines minimalist architecture with the raw beauty of its surroundings.

This award winning retreat offers a deeply immersive experience centred on wellbeing, privacy, and design. With just 60 suites, a subterranean spa, and exclusive access to its own private lagoon, it feels both intimate and expansive at the same time.

Located just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport and within easy reach of Reykjavík, The Retreat works seamlessly as both an arrival experience and a destination in its own right.

ROOMS & SUITES

Suites at The Retreat are designed as calm, contemporary spaces that reflect the surrounding volcanic landscape.

Floor to ceiling windows frame views of moss covered lava fields or the luminous blue waters of the lagoon, while interiors combine clean lines with natural textures and muted tones. The atmosphere is quiet, warm, and deliberately understated.

Accommodation categories range from Lava and Moss Junior Suites to more spacious Moss and Lagoon Suites, with some offering direct access to the lagoon. At the highest level, the Blue Lagoon Suite provides a private sanctuary with its own lagoon, steam room, and sauna.

Every suite includes thoughtful details and refined finishes, creating a seamless balance between comfort, design, and a strong sense of place.

DINING & SOCIAL SPACES

Dining at The Retreat is a central part of the experience, with a collection of restaurants that reflect both Icelandic tradition and contemporary culinary creativity.

At the heart of the offering is Moss Restaurant, awarded a Michelin star, where seasonal tasting menus highlight the finest local ingredients with precision and innovation. The setting, partially built into the lava, mirrors the dramatic landscape outside.

The nearby Lava Restaurant offers a more relaxed atmosphere within striking volcanic architecture, while the Spa Restaurant focuses on lighter, nourishing dishes designed to complement the wellness experience.

Together, these spaces create a varied and refined culinary journey throughout the stay.
