2026 is the perfect time to explore Iceland’s thriving luxury spas and resorts. We’ve highlighted some of Iceland’s best spas previously in our hot springs and pools travel guide. But a new year brings a chance to celebrate some of our enduring favourites alongside some newly opened retreats. From iconic lagoons overlooking the ocean to exclusive spas deep in the Icelandic forest, we’ve curated this selection to showcase the very best Iceland spas for you to rest and rejuvenate.
Laugarás Lagoon
Laugarás Lagoon is one of the newest additions to Iceland’s world of wellness, and a very welcome one too. Located along the iconic Golden Circle route. Here you will be surrounded by stunning scenery, with the lagoon creating a sensory-rich haven that feels both refined and restorative.
Set beside the Hvítá river and enveloped by secluded woodland, the lagoon is designed to encourage a quietly immersive experience. From their two saunas (one dry, one wet), to their forest tub and Infinity pool, the entire space invites guests to slow down and breathe. In our modern world, it feels like the ultimate luxury.
Address: Skálholtsvegur 1, 806 Laugarás, Iceland
Sky Lagoon
One of Iceland’s best spa experiences, Sky Lagoon cultivates its reputation through thoughtful design and relaxing activities on offer. Its seven-step ritual to wellness is world-renowned for its revitalising abilities, leaving skin refreshed and the mind reset. With idyllic ocean views and a convenient Reykjavík location, Sky Lagoon is a perfect visit for first-timers to Iceland, but anyone could appreciate the charms and graces of one of the very best Iceland spas.
Address: Vesturvör 44-48, 200 Kópavogur, Iceland
Forest Lagoon
A newer bathing experience nestled in Northern Iceland, Forest Lagoon promises tranquility and exceptional views. Surrounded by birch trees, the Vaðlaskógur forest provides an almost storybook sense of calm, a sense that the spa embraces to full effect. A modern infinity-edge pool and a restaurant on site, you’ll feel a million miles away from the stress of the city.
You can experience the lush greenery of the north of Iceland on many of our tours, including the Elements of Iceland and the Golden Circle tours. They’re ideal for those seeking an escape from the city, and back into the embrace of the natural world.
Address: Vaðlaskógur 605, 605 Akureyri, Iceland
Hvammsvík Hot Springs
Widely regarded as one of the most tranquil and serene spa resorts in Iceland, absolute relaxation is always top of the agenda at Hvammsvík. With eight natural hot springs located at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Whale Fjord, West Iceland, the views are exceptional and ever-changing.
From the natural rock pools to the subtle way the spa blends into its surroundings, Hvammsvík stands apart due to its commitment to an authentic Icelandic experience and its focus on guest comfort. This makes it a must-visit for wellness enthusiasts, alongside its status as one of the best Iceland spas.

Blue Lagoon
When it comes to Iceland spa resorts, the renowned Blue Lagoon remains one of the country’s most popular, and for excellent reason. Located on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, it’s still one of the best spas Iceland has to offer. Its milky blue waters are known for their nourishing and exfoliating properties, whilst the wide open lagoon space emphasises relaxation.
From the long daylight of the summer to the chance of the Northern Lights in the winter, the space changes with the seasons, but the exceptional standards remain constant, ensuring a stellar experience all year round. It also offers exceptional dining and hotel experiences, both recognised with Michelin status.
For those seeking the most exclusive way to experience the lagoon, The Retreat offers a level of privacy, refinement, and immersion that sets it apart. This hotel and spa is designed for complete tranquillity, The Retreat allows guests to move seamlessly between their suite, the subterranean spa and the lagoon itself, all while enjoying access to private bathing areas reserved solely for guests.
Blue Lagoon is also where you can embrace Float Therapy treatment, created and perfected by Flothetta. The experience creates wellbeing through stillness, crafting an environment that prioritises weightlessness and introspection. The process takes place in a private suite, where guests float alone and engage at their pace. The result is a gentle, meditative state where privacy is paramount.
Deplar Farm
Formerly a sheep farm, Deplar is now one of the most extraordinary lodges in Iceland. Exclusive, luxurious, and often completely private, Deplar Farm is ideal for those seeking a high-end retreat from the noise of the modern world. It’s perfect for those seeking adventure, as heli-skiing, heli-fishing and remarkable hiking experiences are all available across the Troll Peninsula. But if you’d rather relax, you can sink into the comfort of geothermal pools and spa treatments, before retreating to the luxury of the magnificent cabins.
Address: 570 Fljót, Ólafsfjörður, Iceland
The Reykjavík EDITION Spa
The EDITION offers sophisticated escapes right in the heart of Reykjavík. See the sights of the city during the day, and at night, embrace the hotel’s thermal plunge pool before visiting the communal spa lounge. The EDITION has earned its reputation worldwide for exceptionalism, and in 2025 the Reykjavík EDITION received a Michelin Key, one of the first of its kind in Iceland.
Address: Bryggjugata 6, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
Skálakot Spa
Found in southern Iceland, Skálakot is a manor hotel with a full-service spa, perfect for a serene holiday at a slower pace. Guests can unwind with the on-site hot tub and sauna, but for an extra level of comfort, why not try boutique spa treatments such as hot stone and Swedish massages? A stay at Skálakot means you’re close to all these comforts, as well as a short trip to iconic natural landmarks such as Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss.
Address: Skálakoti, 861 Hvolsvöllur, Iceland
Highland Base
The benefit of the Highland Base is clear the second you see a photograph. The surroundings have been the basis of myths for generations thanks to that backdrop of rolling rhyolite hills and geothermal pools, it feels like a sanctuary, an otherworldly space. And it’s an otherworldly space with exceptional accommodation, thanks to Highland Base’s offering of private lodges that feel like a cosy retreat from the wilderness.
