Indulging in a Relaxing Spa Treatment Experience
Ready to unwind in style? Indulge in Iceland's spa culture and give the Sky Lagoon ritual a whirl!
Located at Kársnes point in Kópavogur, just a stone's throw from Reykjavík city center, the Sky Lagoon offers an unforgettable suite of relaxation experiences. This ain't your average tub-time; this is a seven-stage journey to serenity that'll leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
"This Ritual at Sky Lagoon will provide guests with an immersive and holistic approach to relaxation and well-being," boasts Dagn ý Pétursdóttir, the managing director of Sky Lagoon. "The rejuvenating and transformative experience enables guests to connect with mind, body, and spirit through the radiant powers of geothermal waters."
Here's the lowdown on this top-notch spa adventure:
Step 1: Ease into the LagoonStrap on your swimsuit, grab a drink, and soak in the 70-meter long heated infinity pool with a view of the Atlantic. Take a moment to chill, let your worries slide away, and find a spot to float or settle onto a rocky sofa. Even when it's crowded, you'll find a peaceful vibe here.
Step 2: Brace YourselfPrepare for a dose of icy courage: it's time to take a dip in the frigid plunge pool right at the entrance to the spa. Picture a typical Icelandic turf house, and voilà! After this invigorating dip, you'll dash out quickly—no dawdling here!
Step 3: Bask in the ViewMake your way to this sauna with epic sea views, thanks to the largest window in Iceland. The temperature rise will amplify the cozy calm you feel, and you can't help but wonder about the cleanliness that makes the windows appear almost undetectable. The panorama almost begs you to dive into the ocean.
Step 4: Refreshing ShowerFill your lungs with rainfall-style cold mist, and you'll feel freshened up and wide awake. The clean shower leaves you feeling top-notch and revitalized.
Step 5: Scrub AwayTime to exfoliate! Using a mineral-rich Icelandic body scrub, you'll rub the mixture all over your body, excluding your face, leaving a tantalizing aroma in your wake. We might just need to whip up a batch for home use.
Step 6: Steam It UpHead to the steam bath for a detoxifying session. The warm mist helps soothe your skin and prepare it for the final step.
Step 7: Rinse and RelaxWash off the remaining oils, scrub, and any lingering stress, then head back to the lagoon for a refreshing dip. A delightful, post-spa treat at Smakk Bar, offering pickled herring or a tasting platter of Icelandic cheese, adds the perfect finishing touch to your rejuvenating day.
