The Retreat- what an experience!! I definitely highly recommend spending time here. We stayed 4 amazing nights after Hotel Rangá! Private blue lagoon area, the spa experience of the “ ritual” is incredible, loved the in-water massage at the lagoon. We spent a day on the private lava cove suite which I highly recommend for couples to experience! Service on our entire visit was excellent everywhere from check in to check out, dining, spa, yoga! We can’t wait to go back!!
We had high expectations for this property, which offers private access to the Blue Lagoon. Rarely do our expectations not only get met but exceeded in several respects. The rooms are spacious, simply decorated, and exceptionally peaceful—the perfect setting for rest and relaxation. Despite the simplistic architecture and décor, the atmosphere feels comfortable, welcoming, and sheltered. The service is absolutely impeccable, both at reception and throughout the property: courteous, attentive, and discreet, exactly as one would expect from a such an establishment. Access to the Blue Lagoon and the spa is excellent. Guests can enter the public section of the lagoon directly from the hotel, but aside from seeing the larger area, there is little reason to spend much time there. The hotel’s private section is smaller, yet it offers a reserved, far less crowded environment that is ideal for relaxation. At the same time, it is spacious enough that it never feels confined or overcrowded. Honestly, one has to look hard to find any real shortcomings. Dining is perhaps the weakest aspect of the property, with quality that can occasionally be inconsistent. The notable exception is the restaurant Moss, which is truly exceptional and well worth making a reservation for. The experience may be expensive, but it is absolutely worth the price.
Incredible stay at The Retreat Exceptional service and attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff throughout the hotel, spa, and restaurants. Stayed in the Junior Lava Suite – perfect room, incredibly clean, modern, high-end, and comfortable. The spa was incredible, everything you could want, and not overcrowded. The food was superb. We stayed for two nights on arriving in Iceland and immediately forgot about any work or stress we brought with us, which set us up perfectly to go and explore the rest of Iceland afterwards. Special mention to Aurora, who made all our queries and questions very easy and helped us settle in immediately. Extra special mention and thanks to Gudjón at the Moss Restaurant, who made our last night very special and memorable, even going as far as to handwrite all the best destinations to go to afterwards. I will be staying here again and highly recommend it to anyone.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely amazing experience. Yes — the Retreat Spa at Blue Lagoon comes with a big price tag, but what you get in return is truly worth it. From the moment you arrive via the Retreat Hotel entrance (separate from the main Blue Lagoon), the experience feels calm and exclusive. You receive a private changing suite with a double shower, bathing slippers, and two super comfortable bathrobes that remain yours for the entire stay — a huge comfort upgrade. The Retreat lagoon area itself is very spacious and never felt crowded. Staff are present throughout the facility and genuinely friendly and attentive. The included ritual experience is a real highlight: the ritual room offers multiple masks and algae treatments as part of the package. There is also a steam room, sauna, and several beautifully designed relaxation rooms where you can unwind or even take a nap. Fresh water and dried fruits are always available in the relaxation areas. Amenities are excellent throughout — including hand lotion, body lotion, and even body oil in the ritual area, which is especially welcome after spending time in the cold Icelandic air and mineral water. You can also enjoy lunch or an early dinner at the on-site restaurant, which rounds out the experience nicely. Overall: premium price, but absolutely premium experience. We would definitely return and happily recommend it to friends visiting Iceland.
Staying at The Blue Lagoon Retreat Hotel was the perfect way to start our trip to Iceland. We stayed for one night right after landing, and while the price is definitely on the higher side, it was hands down the most relaxing experience of our entire trip. The hotel has such a peaceful, zen, and retreat-like atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, it truly feels like a reset. The views from our room were absolutely breathtaking, and having access to the private lagoon made the experience even more special. The spa amenities that are included were wonderful and added so much value to our stay. The amenities overall are top-notch. One of the highlights was going up to the rooftop and being lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights – an unforgettable moment. The service was excellent, and the food was just as impressive. If the price were lower, I would have stayed multiple nights without hesitation. Even with the premium cost, the experience, relaxation, and level of service made it completely worth it. I will absolutely be back.
