The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

Built into an 800-year-old lava flow in the heart of a UNESCO Global Geopark, the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland was conceived and created to expand the horizons of the Blue Lagoon experience. Encompassing a subterranean spa, a mineral-rich lagoon, a luxury hotel, and a restaurant that honors and reinvents Iceland’s culinary traditions, the Retreat is a place where guests can leave the world behind and enter a timeless realm of relaxation, rejuvenation, and exploration.

 

▎The Retreat Hotel: A Sanctuary Of Serenity

Encircled by the ethereal waters of the Blue Lagoon, the hotel’s 62 suites—arranged on two levels—erase the boundary between interior design and exterior enchantment. Incorporating colors, materials, textures, and furnishings calibrated to harmonize with the landscape, each suite becomes the foundation of an inspiring holistic journey, taking guests into unity with nature while catalyzing a sense of profound wellbeing.

On the lower level, the suites have terraces with hypnotic views of the frozen-in-time lava and the surrounding lagoon. Some of these suites even give guests direct access to the revitalizing waters. On the upper level, the suites are endowed with unforgettable perspectives on the moss-covered vista—stunning panoramas that transform with the weather and the light.

Covering more than 4000 square meters and descending three meters into the volcanic earth, the Retreat Spa opens new dimensions of tranquility and transformation, giving guests the ability to commune with the natural wonders of geothermal seawater in a sublime, luxurious environment.

Moving through underground realms of inspiring design, enchanting geology, and radiant wellness, the spa journey culminates with the Blue Lagoon Ritual, an exhilarating cycle of wellbeing where guests commune with the dynamic treasures of geothermal seawater—silica, algae, and minerals.

Ultimately, the spa journey derives its power from the harmonic interplay of design, science, and the forces of nature, bringing guests closer to the wonders of the earth.

▎The Retreat Lagoon: A breathtaking waterscape

A breathtaking waterscape of mineral-rich warmth, the Retreat Lagoon is sourced from the same volcanic aquifers as the Blue Lagoon. With its lava canyons, hidden corridors, and terraced concourse, this ethereal body of water gives guests a more intimate, more entrancing experience of the Blue Lagoon’s storied powers.

Encompassing an in-water service area, a location for in-water massage, and 900 square meters of mystical blue warmth bounded by centuries-old volcanic rock, the lagoon is rich with possibilities for privacy, enchantment, and wellness.

 

▎Moss Restaurant: A culinary journey

Seated at a table in Moss Restaurant—the Retreat’s signature dining establishment which occupies the highest point at Blue Lagoon—guests can travel the island by way of the culinary creations that emerge from the kitchen. With set menus that move effortlessly from the mountains, to the farmlands, to the rivers, to the oceans, each dish celebrates the living heritage and diverse delights of Iceland’s endless bounty of nourishment.

Complemented by design and architecture calibrated to bring interior and exterior together, highlighting the ever-shifting colors and tones of the moss-covered horizon, Moss’s menus are likewise mercurial: changing with each season but intimately bound to the land.

 

▎Tours & Adventures

Located in the heart of a tectonic wonderland teeming with craters, fissures, mud pools, steam vents, hot springs, extinct volcanoes, and sprawling moss-covered lava fields—the Retreat can arrange tours and adventures that depart from the hotel’s doorstep.

 

▎The Experience

Galvanized by the astonishing powers of the Blue Lagoon’s legendary waters, the Retreat experience unwinds the clock of modern life and unlocks the door to the timeless wonders of the volcanic earth.

Regardless of the season, it is a journey endowed with majesty, serenity, and discovery. In summer, the glittering brilliance of endless light casts the moss-covered landscape in vivid, vibrant tones. In winter, the same vista transforms into an otherworldly white wonderland and the night sky becomes the stage for transcendent, unforgettable displays of the Northern Lights. But throughout the year, from season to season, from age to age, the water remains the same: forever revitalizing, forever enchanting, forever transformative.

碎片重組 2025 科莫湖設計節精彩亮點

碎片重組 2025 科莫湖設計節精彩亮點

  科莫湖設計節提供了截然不同的東西:較慢的節奏和地方感,設計與歷史、景觀和工藝對話。在森林覆蓋的山丘和美好年代別墅的背景下,這座城市的身份始終與優雅和生產聯繫在一起——從羅馬式石雕和理性主義建築到曾經覆蓋歐洲的絲綢工廠。在這樣的背景下,碎片亮點重組了2025 科莫湖設計節。     說到設計活動,很少有地方能在活動的密度方面與米蘭設計週相媲美。然而,剛從第七屆科莫湖設計節回來的我們意識到,與設計最能引起共鳴的邂逅並不總是來自規模,而是來自環境。科莫,以其多層次的魅力和手工傳統,提供了截然不同的東西:較慢的節奏和地方感,設計與歷史、景觀和工藝對話。在森林覆蓋的山丘和美好年代別墅的背景下,這座城市的身份始終與優雅和生產聯繫在一起——從羅馬式石雕和理性主義建築到曾經覆蓋歐洲的絲綢工廠。在這樣的背景下,藝術節在別墅、公園和廢棄的教堂中展開,其主題「碎片」不僅透過展出的物品迴盪,也透過城市本身迴盪,層層歷史構成了一幅城市掛毯,過去的碎片交織在當代日常中。     今年的主題恰逢其時。在一個飽受衝突、兩極化和氣候劇變摧殘的世界裡,碎片化是我們日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。然而,這次藝術節邀請我們以不同的視角看待它:它並非崩潰,而是一次重生的機會,一次對千篇一律的反抗,一次重新連結的姿態。無論是在字面上對廢棄石材和木材的再利用,還是在概念上對歷史、記憶和個人敘事的層層疊加,我們都在每一次展覽中追尋著這條線索。 我們的旅程從藝術節的中心——奇洛梅特羅·德拉·諾森扎(Chilometro della Conoscenza)開始。這座線性公園將湖畔的三棟歷史悠久的別墅串聯起來,也成為了藝術節的中心。「當代設計精選」展覽由Giovanna Massoni策劃,被設想為一座露天藝術館,匯集了一群國際設計師,他們的作品散落在場地各處,如同一條條等待拼湊的線索。       我們在這裡看到的許多作品都毫無保留地以材料為主導,設計師們突出了他們所選用的材料的傷痕和不規則性。以荷蘭的日本設計師Sho Ota的 Amphisbaena Bench 為例,它是與倫敦Agglomerati的Sam Henley合作創作的。它長五米,其微妙蜿蜒的形狀讓人想起神話中兩端各有一個頭的蛇,由曾經打算送往梵蒂岡的未使用的石灰華邊角料製成,其支離破碎卻又悄然不失紀念意義的形式簡潔地概括了今年的主題。作為 Ota 正在進行的Surfaced 系列的一部分,該系列的靈感來自日本boro紡織品(明顯有補丁和縫補的服裝),這張長凳成為了透過修復實現連續性的隱喻。
