Just a few minutes from downtown Reykjavík, this geothermal lagoon promises an unforgettable experience not to be missed. The Sky Lagoon offers an unforgettable view of the sea from these warm, therapeutic waters, in a privileged setting. If you're looking for total disconnection, we recommend a seven-step "ritual" experience in the Icelandic tradition for total relaxation: cold water plunge, sauna, cold mist, body scrub, hammam, shower and then back to the lagoon to relax.

The 7 steps of the ritual
An immersive and traditional experience: The 7-step ritual at Sky Lagoon
Connect with Icelandic traditions. Relax your mind, body and soul. Try something new. Step out of your comfort zone. All this is possible with the Sky Lagoon Ritual, a truly unique journey that is at the heart of Iceland's newest geothermal experience.
This is what will leave you rejuvenated, transformed and connected to the elements. Here, we delve into each of the seven steps of the ritual.
Step 1: Slow down and relax in the lagoon.
Welcome! Enter the lagoon through the cave-like entrance. It's time to settle in. Step into the warm waters and relax. Breathe in the refreshing ocean air. Float through a breathtaking canyon and take in the view of Mount Keilir. On the other side, the rhythmic theatre of the ocean releases your breath. Step 1 is about the journey from the changing room to the edge of infinity. It is about gently entering a state of serenity and calm where you feel relaxed and open to what is to come. Take your time!
Step 2: Refresh yourself with the cold plunge
Next comes cold therapy, a deeply traditional step for Icelanders. The choice is yours! You can take a walk in the cool Icelandic air. Or if you're brave like a Viking, take a dip in the cold pool. This will boost your immune system, decrease the blood flow in your body and tighten your skin. It's also proven to boost your happiness - it's a natural high! We recommend 10 seconds to awaken your senses, but you can stay up to 30 seconds. If you're recovering from a long-haul flight or after a hike, you'll reap the benefits. Conquer your mind, invigorate your senses and wake up!

Step 3: Relaxation with a view in the sauna
After waking up cold, head to the sauna for 5 to 10 minutes. Let the heat open your pores, flush out toxins and cleanse your skin. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the ocean while the heat works its magic. With a huge window offering a breathtaking view of the ocean, this is the most amazing sauna in Iceland. Take 10 minutes to let the heat work its magic and increase your sense of well-being. The soft acoustics echo the sound of the ocean and create a sense of calm.

Step 4: Cooling off in a cold fog
Next, balance out the heat of the sauna by walking slowly through our cold fog space. Take a deep breath here and refresh your senses! The cold mist rejuvenates the skin and helps you prepare for what's to come. It's stimulating - another natural high!
Step 5: The Sky Body Scrub
It's time to get invigorated. By applying our Sky body scrub, your skin will be exfoliated and glowing. The highlight of the Ritual, we have developed a unique sea salt scrub to leave your skin feeling soft and healthy. With its light and comforting spring scent, it will work wonders. Use slow circular motions to work the scrub into your skin.

Step 6: The steam room
As your skin tingles from the Sky Body Scrub, the steam will open up your skin again. This is where the key therapeutic elements of the ritual are absorbed and the moisturizing benefits of the Sky Body Scrub are maximized.
Even with the scrub in progress, you'll find that the moisture and heat help you breathe deeply and easily. Relax. Clear your sinuses and feel the health in your lungs. The steam improves the overall functioning of your body. You will feel great!
Step 7: Shower and relax in the lagoon
Finally, rinse off the scrub in the shower. Then, head back into the warm geothermal lagoon. Lean back, close your eyes, breathe deeply, feel the results and enjoy the moment! Let yourself be immersed in all the benefits of this unique journey. You will feel every muscle in your body relaxed, rejuvenated and energized. When you're ready, head to the Lagoon Bar for a refreshing drink.
These seven steps, done in order and at a slow pace, can lead to deep relaxation and well-being. As Icelanders have done for centuries, discover the power of tradition and be inspired by this incredible environment.

I was a bit claustrophobic in the steam room because I couldn’t see anyone through the thick steam. It was hard to breathe in the hot air but after leaving the 7 step routine I felt a lot better!
