A complete wellness experience, Laugarás Lagoon is also home to a dry sauna and a wet sauna, both of which are on the forest edge and offer stunning views of the banks of the Hvítá River.
Better still, the lagoon is open until 9pm during the winter months, meaning you’ll have the chance to spot the aurora borealis during your spa visit.
The design of the lagoon pays tribute to the country’s historic turf houses, which have grass roofs and blend into the surrounding landscape.
Sauna soaking and cold plunges can be exhausting (first world problems, we know), but guests can get their energy stores up by dining at Ylja Restaurant.
Developed by one of Iceland’s best-known chefs, Gísli Matt, the seasonal menu covers everything from light snacks to a five-course fine dining experience.
