The Lagoon swim area

The Lagoon is an impressive two-story retreat designed to create a truly memorable experience. A beautiful cascading waterfall flows between the two levels, elegantly separating the stories while adding a calming, natural atmosphere. Within the Lagoon, guests can enjoy the convenience of two swim-up bars, where a wide selection of beverages is available, including refreshing non-alcoholic options as well as a variety of alcoholic drinks.

One of the Lagoon’s most captivating features is its breathtaking view. The Hvítá river runs directly below, providing a stunning natural backdrop and enhancing the sense of relaxation and connection to nature. From the Lagoon, guests can take in the sights and sounds of the river, making it an ideal place to unwind and fully immerse themselves in the surrounding landscape.

Saunas – Jacuzzi – Cold Pool

At the Laugaras Lagoon, guests can enjoy a variety of wellness facilities designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. The Lagoon features two distinct saunas to suit different preferences: a traditional dry sauna, offering intense heat in a calm and soothing environment, and a steam sauna, where warm, humid air helps relax muscles and cleanse the skin.

In addition to the saunas, there is an inviting outdoor jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding in warm, bubbling water while taking in the surrounding scenery. For those seeking a refreshing contrast, a cold pool is also available, providing an ideal way to cool off after a hot sauna session. Together, these facilities create a balanced and revitalizing spa experience, allowing guests to relax, recharge, and fully enjoy their time at the Laugaras Lagoon.
