Silica Hotel was built to harmonize with the Reykjanes lava plain—a vast horizon of volcanic rock that formed 800 years ago and now stands frozen in time. Until the 1970s, there was nothing here but sprawling fields of moss-covered lava. In 1976, after the discovery of geothermal aquifers, a power plant took shape, providing electricity and hot water for the Reykjanes Peninsula. 

Then, quite unexpectedly, a small body of water formed: runoff from the geothermal extraction process. The water was expected to seep back into the ground through the lava. However, the presence of silica in the water prevented proper drainage. The temptation to bathe in the pristine warmth of this water was irresistible, and as the pond grew into an enchanting little blue lagoon, the site became an open secret.

Some people came to enjoy themselves. Others came seeking relief from psoriasis. But all who came left with feelings of relaxation, wellbeing and rejuvenation. What began as geothermal runoff has blossomed into a wonder of the world.

Silica Hotel is in the heart of the Reykjanes UNESCO Geopark on Iceland’s southwest coast. The region is a wonderland of geothermal phenomena, and the terrain is alive with craters, fissures, mud pools, steam vents, hot springs, and endless moss-covered lava fields.

Wellbeing for people and planet is at the forefront of all our operations. Therefore, it is vital that we honor and respect our surroundings. The moss-covered lava fields, for example, are a national treasure. The moss takes centuries to become the soft, floral wonder that you see outside your window. And if the moss gets damaged, it might never recover. 

Please help us preserve the raw beauty of our extraordinary landscape. Walking on the moss can kill it, so kindly don’t stray from the walking paths. Likewise, smoking near the moss can be extremely damaging, if not fatal, for the moss. Cigarette smoke is both toxic and a fire hazard for this delicate plant. 

The expanse of silica adjacent to the hotel’s south side is another element of Blue Lagoon Iceland that we ask you to help protect. While its white surface and puddles of blue water seem to invite exploration, it is actually quite dangerous. The water there is frigid and the silica can be slippery. But this area is a treasured part of our heritage.
