It's Scandinavia at its Finest.

With the grand opening of the Blue Lagoon's Retreat Hotel, we wanted to focus on a true Scandinavia cornerstone; the ritual of relaxation.

Throughout the Nordic North, there is a genius to the essentialism of rest. Health and Wellness spaces can be found amidst the stunning streets of cities like Copenhagen or Stockholm; providing an oasis after a day of exploration.

Then, among the Norwegian Fjords, sit a few secluded spa hotels. With amenities like indoor-to-outdoor pools, thermal hot tubs, Sanariums; all of which beautifully reflect the ancient Nordic bathing tradition.

Head even further north into the Arctic region and experience a nautic spa. This one-of-a-kind boat is equipped with hot tubs, saunas, steam baths and even a diving tower.

And finally in Lapland, where the Finns have turned their daily sauna practice into a true artform. Hotels and villas alike are curated to include various sauna rooms. From smoke to steam, from coal to wood, these sacred spaces are designed specifically to cleanse the body and mind.
