Attractions and hospitality brand Pursuit has launched Sky Lagoon, a relaxing and restorative geothermal retreat just outside of Reykjavik, situated against the striking backdrop of the North Atlantic Ocean.

The new retreat is a competitor to the world-famous Blue Lagoon, which is located a 10-minute drive away.

Features of the geothermal Sky Lagoon include an ocean-side 75m infinity edge showcasing expansive sea and sky views and a sauna boasting Iceland’s largest window. The destination’s overall design draws inspiration from the breathtaking and cinematic landscapes of Iceland with layers of grey-blues, deep greens and whites. Textures like precious metals and wood create an infusion of warmth.

Sky Lagoon offers guests a deeply relaxing and restorative seven-step experience, The Ritual, developed from Icelandic traditions of combining warm and cold waters, warm steam, dry heat and fresh air.

“The need to re-energise, relax and restore is integral to both our physical and mental wellbeing and we’re thrilled to introduce guests to the Sky Lagoon experience,” says David Barry, president of Pursuit.
