<p><strong>Located just 15 kilometers (10 miles) from Keflavik International Airport, the Blue Lagoon is a therapeutic wonder. It is a wonderful way for alleviating jet lag on your arrival day, yet it is also a relaxing way to bid farewell to Iceland.</strong></p>
<p>The world-renowned Blue Lagoon on <a href="https://icetstg.wpengine.com/the-reykjanes-peninsula/">Reykjanes Peninsula  </a>is a lake of pleasantly warm, mineral-rich geothermal water in the middle of a black lava field. The high natural levels of silica, algae and minerals give the water its rich blue color. The silica and minerals are the reason for the Blue Lagoon&#8217;s healing powers. They help alleviate skin diseases such as psoriasis.</p>
<p>A visit will help you find harmony between body, mind and spirit. You can soak away life’s daily stresses. The modern facilities include saunas, a warm flowing waterfall, and in-water treatments and massages that use natural Blue Lagoon skin care products.  Moreover, the Retreat Spa offers an exclusive 5-hour visit with secluded areas and the Blue Lagoon Ritual of cleansing minerals.</p>
<h2>Amenities at the Blue Lagoon</h2>

<p>In addition, if you enjoy refreshing nature walks there are easy walking trails on the grounds of the lagoon.  You can enjoy views of the ever-changing lava terrain and waterscapes.</p>
<h2>Opening hours</h2>
<p>Blue Lagoon is <a href="https://www.bluelagoon.com/opening-hours">open every day of the year.</a> As Iceland&#8217;s most popular attraction it welcomes many visitors each day.
