The Full Guide
Everything to know before you book the Sky Lagoon
Pure vs Sér, the seven-step ritual, and how it compares to the Blue Lagoon.
Opened in 2021, the Sky Lagoon is the newest of Iceland’s marquee geothermal spas and the easiest to reach if you’re staying in the capital — about 15 minutes from downtown Reykjavík in the suburb of Kópavogur. Its signature is a 70-metre infinity edge where the geothermal water appears to pour straight into the North Atlantic, framed by turf-roofed buildings built to echo old Icelandic bathing culture.
The seven-step ritual
What sets Sky Lagoon apart from a straight soak is the Skjól ritual, included with every admission pass. You move through seven stations in sequence: the warm lagoon, a bracing cold plunge, a sauna with a floor-to-ceiling ocean view, a cold mist, a salt-and-oil body scrub, a steam room, and a final return to the lagoon. It’s part spa treatment, part Nordic tradition, and it’s the main reason guests rate the experience 4.8/5.
Which pass to book
- Pure Pass (from $115) — the lagoon, the full 7-step ritual, and a shared changing room. The best-value choice for most visitors.
- Sér Pass — the same, but with a private changing suite and premium amenities.
Because it’s a timed-entry venue right beside the city, the sunset slots book out first — reserve ahead. If you don’t have a car, several packages bundle a transfer from Reykjavík or the airport, and you can combine Sky Lagoon with the Golden Circle or a South Coast day trip. Trying to decide between the two big names? Our homepage lays Sky Lagoon against the Blue Lagoon side by side — the short version: Sky for a stylish city soak, Blue Lagoon for the airport-day icon.

What Sky Lagoon Guests Say
5/5
from 7278 verified GetYourGuide guests
"absolutely out of this world experience and one that I will definitely repeat when I'm lucky enough to return to Iceland. breathtaking from the moment we arrived. the 7 step spa ritual was just simply amazing, perfect time for the sunset too... highly recommend"
"The Sky Lagoon was the perfect way to end our Icelandic adventure. After days of exploring, discovering and learning - going to this lagoon to soak it all in was the cherry on top. The staff were friendly, the views were serene and the 7-step experience really helps you feel like you are an “unofficial Icelander.” We easily spent a few hours there relaxing and unwinding. The waterfall was amazing on some sore muscles. The Ser package comes with some additional accommodations which made the experience even more special. 10/10"
"Absolutely loved it. Perfect for a solo traveler to take in the beauty. My only wish/request is that hushed voices were enforced more. There were quite a few groups of couples/people that came into the different steps loudly, interrupting a peaceful moment. Other than that, it was lovely!"
"It was a lovely experience. The 7 step ritual was great and the 2 hour visit was very relaxing"
"Great experience, I preferred it to blue lagoon. Much more scenic and the sauna was very relaxing"
"This experience was incredible loved it. Definitely do this"
"An excellent experience. was the highlight of our trip! my husband has slight mobility issues but he was able to manage comfortably as he was allowed to wear his swim shoes on the way to the shower and beyond. Only the scrubbing salts area and steam room was super slippery for him (not for the rest) but the staff quickly got him a wheelchair for that part of the ritual and all was well. we enjoyed everything so much. The cold plunge was cold but fantastic, the view from the sauna was mind boggling, the staff were super nice. loved it, highly recommend it!"

Sky Lagoon Reykjavík — FAQ
Passes, the 7-step ritual and what to expect at the city's ocean-edge lagoon.
The Skjól ritual is a seven-station sequence included with every Sky Lagoon pass: the warm lagoon, a cold plunge, a sauna with a floor-to-ceiling ocean view, a cold mist, a salt-and-oil body scrub, a steam room, and a final soak back in the lagoon. It's the signature experience and the main reason guests rate Sky Lagoon so highly.
Both include full access to the lagoon and the complete 7-step ritual. The Pure Pass (from around $115) uses a shared public changing room; the Sér Pass upgrades you to a private changing suite with premium amenities. For most visitors the Pure Pass is the best-value choice.
Sky Lagoon is in Kópavogur, on the coast about 15 minutes from downtown Reykjavík — the closest of the big lagoons to the city. You can drive, taxi, or add a shuttle transfer from the city or Keflavík Airport.
Yes — Sky Lagoon uses timed entry and the sunset slots in particular book out fast. Reserve ahead for the time you want. All bookings include free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so early booking carries no risk.
They're different experiences. Sky Lagoon is newer, closer to the city, and built around its ocean-edge infinity pool and the 7-step ritual. The Blue Lagoon is the milky silica-blue icon near the airport. Choose Sky Lagoon for a stylish city soak; choose the Blue Lagoon for the bucket-list classic on an airport day.
Yes — Sky Lagoon has a minimum age of 12, so it isn't suitable for young children. Families travelling with little ones may prefer the Blue Lagoon or the Secret Lagoon, which are more relaxed about younger guests.
Sunset is the standout — the infinity edge frames the sun sinking into the North Atlantic. In winter, a late soak also brings a chance of northern lights. Because those slots sell first, book them well ahead.
