1. The Blue Lagoon
It would be a pity to book an Iceland honeymoon and not experience the country’s famous multi-day spa sessions. The Blue Lagoon is your chance at relaxation that you’ve only dreamed about. Located in the Reykjanes peninsula, accessible from both the Reykjavik Airport as well as the Keflavik International Airport, it’s a geothermal spa with milky-blue waters and silica. It’s especially soothing if you’ve been engaging in strenuous activities.
There is a public Blue Lagoon, which can get rather crowded, while the Retreat Hotel’s lagoon is separated from the public spa and offers a more intimate experience. In either case, you can cuddle up in healing waters and even enjoy the float-up bar’s selection. You can also enjoy a couple’s spa treatment that takes place in the water atop floating mattresses! Of all Iceland adventures, this is truly an experience worth your time.
