The new Icelandic luxury spa, Forest Lagoon, is built around a geothermally-heated water source in the Va\u00f0lahei\u00f0i mountain<\/h3>\n

We’re back with another bucket-list item for aqua-holics. Huddled in Vaðlaskógur forest, Forest Lagoon is Iceland’s newest geothermal spa, expected to be opened by late April. <\/p>\n

Back In 2014, construction workers were drilling a 4.6-mile tunnel through Vaðlaheiði mountain, and discovered a source of geothermally-heated water. Eight years later, it has become the site of a new luxury spa: <\/span>Forest Lagoon<\/a><\/span>.<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Visitors can soak up views over the stunning Eyja Fjord and the city of Akureyri, while soaking in natural hot springs surrounded by dense birch and pine forests. Best of all, this area of Iceland is known for a fairly temperate climate. The gorgeous new build features one gigantic 5,700-square-foot pool, a bath created for cold dips, a warmer, tinier pool, a sauna, a room for relaxation, locker space, a bistro, and two<\/span> swim-up bars.<\/span>

Geothermal Water<\/h1>\n

Heated naturally beneath the earth’s crust before rising naturally to the surface, geothermal water is used for heating homes, schools, spas, and greenhouses in Iceland. The spa pools at Forest Lagoon are supplied with all-natural geothermal water sourced from the mountain behind the location, Vaðlaheiði. Geothermal waters are known to have an abundance of healing powers and health benefits for the mind, body, and soul. Soaking in these waters helps with blood circulation, improves digestion, helps promote healthy skin, strengthens bones, and increases brain activity.<\/p>\n

What could be better than dipping into Forest Lagoon’s geothermal waters while sipping on some wine and gazing out over lush forests. It’s time to plan a vacation to Iceland.<\/p>\n
