A couple of years ago, I visited Iceland. I was at first very skeptical as I had not heard much about it. However, I can honestly say that Iceland is one of the top destinations to vacation to.
It is a place where they do not give into commercialism. I was a little upset that there was not a Starbucks in sight, but I quickly got over it. Its a country that is very chic and modern and home to one of the best natural spas, the Blue Lagoon bluelagoon.com which is a thermal heated natural spa that is open all year round.
On their site it best describes it;
"The Blue Lagoon’s ecosystem is unique in the world, in fact one of Mother Nature’s laboratories, connecting us with the forces of nature. Through nature and science, Blue Lagoon spa treatments and massages provide you with the energy of the geothermal seawater and its active ingredients: minerals, silica and algae."
I took full advantage of the experience and tried a massage in the lagoon and ate at the lava restaurant. You can literally take the mud from the bottom of the warm lagoon and put it on your face. It is a white and has a natural exfoliant in it. I came out refreshed and relaxed.
I also took the opportunity to go on some nature tours. It is amazing (but a little scary) that you can go right up a waterfalls edge and see the beauty of it all.
Truly a very relaxing get away that I recommend to everyone especially spa lovers.
