Instagram enthusiasts will have to wait for another year to visit Iceland's Sky Lagoon, located in Kársnes Harbour, just minutes away from the vibrant city center of Reykjavik.
The lagoon's developer Pursuit says that the lagoon's epic 230 ft 'infinity edge' will blend into the 'ocean landscape.' As of the moment, Instagrammers' appetite for lagoon shots in the country are sated by the pristine and seductive Blue Lagoon.
But next year, the lagoon offering of Iceland is ramped up by the Sky Lagoon offering ocean views and an in-lagoon bar. Its designs are inspired by Icelandic culture and cinematic landscape.
Pursuit Unveils New Geothermal Lagoon in Iceland
Sky Lagoon's developer, Pursuit, said that the new lagoon would "showcase expansive ocean vistas punctuated by awe-inspiring sunsets, Northern Lights and dark sky views." The 230 ft infinity edge will create a visual effect that will blend into the ocean landscape.
Furthermore, Pursuit also said that design elements are influenced by the Icelandic culture, producing a distinctive guest experience that will make them feel like living in Icelandic turf houses plus the restorative spa-like ritual from the Icelandic tradition.
Sky Lagoon's general manager, Dagny Petursdottir, said that they are thrilled to unveil the lagoon's plans to develop a remarkable lagoon experience for its visitors and one of Iceland's most stunning oceanfront locations.
Guests will be able to connect with the mind, body, and spirit through the radiant powers of the geothermal waters from the lagoon while looking at such majestic ocean views. They will surely have an unforgettable experience through the help of the rejuvenating and relaxing retreat against the dramatic backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and Reykjavik's vibrant urban center.
Sky Lagoon's Multi-sensory Oasis
As an integral part of the Icelandic culture, Pursuit made sure that the guests will spend time relaxing in natural geothermal waters. Its multi-sensory oasis features an ocean-side infinity-edge design aside from the cold pool and sauna experiences.
Pursuit will also have additional amenities such as an in-lagoon bar, dining experience, and unique retail offerings.
According to Pursuit's president, David Barry, their company is focused on connecting guests to iconic places by giving them unforgettable and inspiring experiences while they visit Sky Lagoon.
"Iceland is one of those authentic and remarkable places that have the power to excite and inspire," Barry said.
Sky Lagoon is another project by Pursuit following the recent launch of its visually stunning FlyOver Iceland experience. The lagoon and many collections of world-class travel experiences show their continued commitment to Iceland.
The country has reopened its borders earlier this week, on June 15, after implementing lockdowns in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Health Benefits of Relaxing in Nature

Health Fitness Revolution has outlined some of the benefits of being with nature. They mentioned feeling better emotionally, physically, mentally, and having a better workout for greater revitalization.
Whatever nature activities a person may engage, it is always important to expose oneself to nature on a regular basis.
