Love To Explore Rating: Buisness Class
Set within Iceland’s dramatic volcanic landscape, The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is a striking luxury hotel that combines contemporary design, exceptional dining and world-class wellness. Built into the surrounding lava fields and encircled by the Blue Lagoon’s milky-blue geothermal waters, this is a place to slow down and enjoy a different side of Iceland.
The hotel has 60 suites, each designed to complement the extraordinary landscape with clean lines, natural textures and floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the moss-covered lava fields or lagoon. For an extra-special stay, Lagoon Suites feature private terraces with direct access to their own geothermal lagoon.
Wellness is at the heart of the experience, with unlimited access to the Retreat Spa and Retreat Lagoon included in every stay. There are steam caves, saunas, relaxation spaces and the signature Blue Lagoon Ritual, which uses the lagoon’s silica, algae and minerals.
The Moss Restaurant offers Michelin-starred Icelandic cuisine and seasonal tasting menus against a backdrop of volcanic panoramas. For a more relaxed meal, the Spa Restaurant serves lighter dishes beside the lagoon.
At Love To Explore, we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Unique location
- Wellness focused
- Excellent food and beverage

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
