Laugarás Lagoon

Beautiful lagoon experience including a cold plunge pool and sauna.

Laugarás Lagoon was a perfect first-day stop after landing at Keflavík Airport early in the morning. We landed around 6:20 a.m., picked up our rental car, stopped by a bakery, drove out to the lighthouse on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and then headed straight to the lagoon for our 12 p.m. reservation. The timing worked really well. The facilities felt very new, clean, and lovely. The pool was great because there were lots of little areas where you could find a quieter spot, plus beautiful views, a secluded hot tub, a cold plunge, and a steam room. It felt peaceful and much less crowded than the more typical geothermal baths closer to the airport. Overall, it was exactly what we needed after an overnight flight, and it fit perfectly before continuing on to the Golden Circle and staying in Selfoss for the night.

One word for Laugaras, "WOW" The price was great value compared to other lagoons. As you go down the steps into the water, you are greeted by view that you could stare at all day. If you get bored of that you can go down to the lower level via going through a waterfall or steps where they have a pool bar. Is that all you ask? Of course not they have a beautiful sauna that looks out over the amazing view and a steam room. If you are still not relaxed after that, they have a forest pool which makes you feel you have been transported into the forest. All in all if relaxation is want you are looking for, you will find it here.

Laugarás Lagoon is a peaceful, beautifully designed geothermal spa that feels calm and authentic, far from the crowds of larger lagoons. The warm water, stunning surroundings, and welcoming staff make it a truly relaxing and memorable Icelandic experience.
