The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is not just a hot spring; it's a testament to the harmony between nature and sustainable innovation. Recognized as one of National Geographic's 25 Wonders of the World, this geothermal spa emerged in the 1980s next to the Svartsengi Resource Park.

Dr. Grímur Sæmundsen saw the potential of these waters and, in 1987, began transforming this natural wonder into a site of health and wellness.

Today, the Blue Lagoon offers a range of experiences from a modern spa facility to a clinic hotel
