The Retreat at Blue Lagoon, Grindavik ⁄ Iceland
Water meets wellness in a one-of-a-kind destination
At the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland, earth, water and design come together as never before. An 800-year-old lava vein runs through the heart of the complex, and the rock’s unique qualities are everywhere incorporated into the architecture. But the real star is the water. Created in a tectonic realm of searing heat and immense pressure, the mineral-rich water of the Blue Lagoon is fabled for its healing properties and otherworldly beauty. This water completely surrounds the Retreat’s 62-suite luxury hotel, to stunning effect. And the special relationship with water continues indoors, where bathrooms are equipped with AXOR Starck and AXOR Showers products in Chrome and Brushed Black Chrome.

“THE RETREAT IS BUILT INTO AN 800-YEAR-OLD LAVA FLOW AND WE WANTED THE DESIGN TO CELEBRATE THAT. THE FIREPLACES ARE MADE OF LAVA ROCK, AS ARE THE TABLES. WE SELECTED CUSTOM FAUCETS BY AXOR TO FIT THE OVERALL MOOD WE WISHED TO CREATE.”
