No trip to Iceland would be complete without a visit to one of the hot springs, and few countries boast such impressive natural spas.
The famous Blue Lagoon is Iceland's most visited, and you only have to imagine sitting in its thermal and therapeutic waters to understand why. Situated on the boundry of the earths tectonic plates, its waters are naturally heated at 36°C - 39°C year round, so you can relax wearing a only a bikini, while others watch from the side dressed in every possible layer in order to keep warm. Where else in the world can you experience such disparity?
Once your spa is over, the choice of what to do is vast. Why not treat yourself to further relaxation with a massage, sauna or treatment whilst there? Or accentuate Iceland's diverse qualities, by contrasting a morning in a thermal spa with an afternoon of snow-mobiling on frozen glaciers.
