A Week in Iceland's Spas
Home » Iceland » Iceland - A One Week Itinerary » A Week in Iceland's SpasOne of the things that Iceland is best known for is its geothermal power which heats much of the water in the country (the hot springs as well as the water in homes) naturally and even helps produce electricity for Iceland. Throughout the countryside, natural hot pools can be found – drawing in Icelanders and visitors to relax in their mineral-rich waters. In fact, every single town in Iceland takes advantage of the geothermally-heated water and offers saunas, hot tubs, and pools (even in cold weather). Reykjavik is recognized around the world for its high-quality spas, and people everywhere find the waters to be therapeutic for stress-related problems and others like asthma, arthritis, and more.
For a few dollars, you can purchase time to relax in a hot pool and a sauna. Or you can go to a private spa for a truly unique experience. There are fitness areas, Jacuzzis, baths with oils and herbs, and more. Plus you can purchase a massage treatment or another spa treatment. Usually, the prices look something like this:
• 10 minute massage: £9
• 20 minute massage: £18
• 30 minute massage: £25
• 50 minute massage: £42
One of the most famous spas in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon. There you can swim in the water, enjoy the cave sauna, relax with a massage while still in the soothing waters, or purchase a full holistic treatment. The geothermal waters surrounded by basalt lava filled with a very light naturally-milky feel are perfect for letting your tension roll away.
