Ready to unwind? Let's dive into it!
Step 1: Embrace Serenity in the LagoonBask in the spectacular view from the lagoon's heart, a 70-meter-long, heated infinity pool boasting an awe-inspiring Atlantic vista. Slower the pace, savor a tranquil moment under a cascading waterfall, or unwind with a refreshing welcome drink. Even in the presence of fellow relaxation seekers, you'll find your personal oasis on one of the cozy rock-sofas.
Step 2: Brace for a ChillPrepare for a bracing dip in an ice bath just before the spa entrance. Inspired by traditional Icelandic practices, this quick, invigorating plunge stimulates circulation and prepares the body for the forthcoming warmth.
Step 3: Soak in the Panorama SaunaImmerse yourself in the expansive sauna, featuring floor-to-ceiling Atlantic views. As you gaze at the horizon, you might find yourself questioning the sauna's squeaky clean transparency – it's as if you could dive right into the sea!
Step 4: Recharge Your SensesFreshen up with a revitalizing tropical shower, switching between refreshing cold mist and warm jets for a Nordic spa twist. After this, you'll feel revitalized and ready to tackle the next steps.
Step 5: Revitalize with a Body ScrubSlather yourself (don't forget your hands and feet!) with Sky Lagoon's homemade scrub, created from sea salt, almond oil, grapeseed oil, and sesame oil. The exotic yet refreshing aroma and texture will delight your senses and nourish your skin.
Step 6: Purify Your SensesInhale the soothing steam in the cave sauna, allowing the exfoliating body scrub to work its magic as you relax deeper and feel your skin softly loosen and soften. Like a comforting foggy day, focus on the sensations rather than what lies outside.
Step 7: Rinse, Refocus, and ReconnectShower off all the stress before returning to the lagoon. The rejuvenating experience has now come full circle, leaving you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and connected with your surroundings in a way that mimics no other spa. For a one-of-a-kind finale, indulge in a pickled herring or a local tasting platter at the Smakk Bar.
- Your home-and-garden might feel less rejuvenating than a visit to Sky Lagoon, with its geothermal waters and holistic approach to well-being.
- Embarking on this travel adventure, you'll not only renew your body but also engross yourself in Iceland's cultural practices, such as the invigorating ice bath dip.
- The lagoon's geothermal sauna offers a panoramic view that will truly blend your renewed lifestyle with Iceland's breathtaking landscape.
- After the revitalizing body scrub, your skin will be nourished with a unique blend of oils, making your home-and-garden skincare routine seem somewhat less impressive.
- Once you've completed the Ritual at Sky Lagoon, unwinding at home will seem a bit underwhelming compared to the holistic, geothermal-infused travel experience you've just been a part of.
