PHOTO: BLUE LAGOON ICELAND The Blue Lagoon has been an Icelandic icon for decades – and in the Instagram age, its gently steaming pools of milky blue water, heated by the natural, geothermic energy that powers much of this beautifully rugged island, remain a surefire winner. But the Blue Lagoon is not just a pretty sight; the mineralrich water and mud is said to impart health benefits too. Now, the original facilities, including a spa, restaurant and Silica hotel complex, have been expanded with a new hotel: The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland. The luxurious new digs GETAWAY offer a tastefully minimalist BEAT THE BLUES experience. The structure nestles into the surrounding volcanic landscape, incorporating natural features like flowing water and bare lava rock for visual harmony, textural richness and low environmental impact. The 62 suites are tranquil spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, not least the 60m 2 Lagoon Suite (priced from £1,950 per night) with its vast terrace and private lagoon access. End your day at the hotel’s gourmet restaurant, Moss, where famously fresh, local, seasonal ingredients make fine dining a celebration of purity. www.bluelagoon.com 9
