Wheelchair accessible suites
Special wheelchair accessible suites are available at the Retreat Hotel.
A personal assistant
Guests requiring help in the changing rooms, the spa, the Retreat Lagoon, or the private lagoons at the Retreat Hotel will be provided a special assistant upon request. Please note: a request for an assistant should be made at least two days prior to arrival so that we have enough time to approve and fulfill the request.
Changing rooms
Special wheelchair accessible changing rooms are available at the Retreat Spa. We ask our guests to exercise caution as floors in the changing rooms and around the lagoon may be slippery.
Shower chairs
A shower chair is available upon request. We also have a wheelchair which can be used for entering the Retreat Lagoon. We ask our guests to exercise caution as the floors in the changing rooms and around the lagoon may be slippery.
Lagoon depth
The deepest part of the Retreat Lagoon is 1.25m/4.1ft, but most areas of the water are shallower. However, the bottom of the lagoon can be slippery, making caution an imperative. An overview map, displaying depths and temperatures, is displayed and summarized for all guests with disabilities prior to entering the lagoon.
If you have any other questions or concerns regarding accessibility at the Retreat, please contact us at retreathotel@bluelagoon.is.
Yes, access to the Blue Lagoon is included with your stay at the Retreat Hotel. You can freely enter the lagoon from the Retreat Spa. The only limitation is that you must use the lagoon during its normal hours of operation.
During your stay at the Retreat Hotel, you have unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, the Retreat Lagoon, and the Blue Lagoon. Kindly note, however, that access is limited to the regular opening hours of these entities.
Children are welcome at the Retreat, but the following policies apply:
__Suites on the ground level __
Children aged 8 or younger are not permitted to stay in the suites on the ground level: Lava View Junior Suites, Lagoon View Junior Suites, and Lagoon Suites. This is because these suites have direct access to the water surrounding the complex.
__Adjoining suites __
All our suites are designed for a maximum occupancy of 2 adult guests, but we offer interconnected junior suites that are ideal for families.
Alternatively, the sofa in our Moss Suite can be transformed into a bed for 1 child up to 12 years of age. Similarly, the sofa in the Lagoon Suite can be transformed into a bed for 1 child who is between the ages of 9 and 12. If you are interested in either of these options, please send a request to retreat@bluelagoon.is.
If you are travelling with an infant (0-2), we can provide a baby cot free of charge in the Moss Suite or Moss Junior Suite.
__The Retreat Spa, the Retreat Lagoon, and the Blue Lagoon __
Children must be at least 12 years old to access to the Retreat Spa and the Retreat Lagoon. Children under 12—and older than 2—are welcome to use the Blue Lagoon. However, children who are 2 and younger are not permitted in the lagoon because of the water’s heat and high mineral content.
The water surrounding the suites is intended for esthetic enjoyment. The only exception to this rule is the Lagoon Suite, which has its own private geothermal lagoon.
Your credit card information is taken as a guarantee for your room. Your card will be charged the full amount 14 days prior to your arrival. Bookings made within 14 days of check-in are non-refundable.
