ICELAND SPA SAMPLER

5 days, Reykjavik - Blue Lagoon - Laugar Spa - Reykjavik

Departures: 01 Nov, 2005 - 31 May, 2006

There is energy everywhere in Iceland, shaping the mountains and fjords, blazing from the Midnight Sun in summer, and the Northern Lights in winter, surging from waterfalls and creeps in glaciers, erupting in volcanoes and bubbling in hot springs. Energies that reward the Icelandic people with a healthy life, thanks to the clean, unpolluted air, the pristine water, the fresh fish off the sea. Swimming in the many geothermal pools and hot springs in and around the capital city of Reykjavik is part of the essential treats.
Our Iceland Spa Package offers many opportunities to capture the pure energies with lavish treatments at the 5 star Laugar Spa and Health Resort. Situated in the Laugardalur Valley, a beautiful leisure area richly blessed with hot springs, an activity park and Iceland's largest geothermal outdoor swimming pool. At Laugar Spa you enter an aquatic haven with six different saunas and steam rooms, massage showers, geothermal waterfall. Experience sounds of nature, a starry night sky and inhale different aromas while you rewind in a relaxation room by roaring fire in a huge central fireplace. The Geothermal Wonder of the Blue Lagoon is a dream pool - an inviting oasis of warm, aquamarine water in midst a Luna-like landscape of lava. Bathe, relax, revitalize your skin in natural Steam Caves, sauna and Silica Mud Baths.
