For decades, the Blue Lagoon has drawn visitors not just from around Iceland but to Iceland also. Now, the country’s best-known thermal spa has entered the hotel market with a luxury property that sets a new standard for Icelandic opulence. The Retreat at Blue Lagoon combines five-star accommodation with world-class spa treatments and facilities to create a truly magical wellness-focused experience.
If the stresses of daily life are mounting, there’s no better solution than escaping to the tranquil gem that is The Retreat at Blue Lagoon. Situated in the midst of a sprawling lava field, the property is positioned to take full advantage of the restorative waters that have made Blue Lagoon such a popular international destination. The resort’s relative isolation also makes it a great choice for travelers hoping to catch a glimpse of the iconic Northern Lights as the nocturnal colors here are amongst the world’s most vivid. The designers of The Retreat at Blue Lagoon knew that they’d never be able to compete with the beauty of the surrounding landscape and instead resolved to create an interior atmosphere that compliments the moss-covered volcanic expanse. A stay at this hotel is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that also offers an authentic taste of what makes Iceland such a popular luxury travel destination.

Iceland is celebrated as one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly countries in the world, consistently ranking among the top nations for equality and inclusivity. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2010, reflecting Iceland’s progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights. The country has also made history by electing Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir as the world’s first openly gay head of government in 2009, highlighting its commitment to diversity at the highest levels.
Iceland’s legal framework strongly supports LGBTQ+ individuals. Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited by law, ensuring protections in employment, education, and public services. Additionally, transgender individuals have access to legal gender recognition and healthcare without requiring invasive procedures, further solidifying Iceland’s reputation as a leader in LGBTQ+ rights.
The country’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community is centered in Reykjavik, which hosts the annual Reykjavik Pride festival—a major event that attracts locals and international visitors to celebrate equality and visibility. The city also offers a range of LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, and cultural spaces, providing a welcoming atmosphere for residents and travelers alike.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Iceland is not only a safe and inclusive destination but also a place of breathtaking natural beauty.
