Sustainability
Our connection to nature runs deep, as does our commitment to sustainability. We’re proud to incorporate environmentally conscious practices into every aspect of the guest experience.
Our facilities use natural materials from the surrounding area, including locally sourced timber. This not only reduces transportation emissions and costs, but also ensures our design remains in harmony with the landscape.
The hot water in the lagoon comes from the geothermal area in Laugarás through Bláskógabyggð. It is cooled with glacial water from the river Hvítá, which is filtered and purified before flowing into the lagoon. The lagoon is natural and chlorine-free. Together we keep the water clean, and showering before entering the lagoon is mandatory. With these simple steps, we help preserve both the water and the surrounding nature, so that we can enjoy it in harmony with the environment.
We partner with local farmers to bring fresh, seasonal ingredients from nearby greenhouses to your plate. Our menus, created by celebrated chef Gísli Matt, reflect the region's bounty and support the local community
In our showers, you’ll find skincare products by Nordic Angan, locally crafted with natural, responsibly sourced ingredients that are good for you and the planet.
