Sky Lagoon, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking and cinematic landscapes of Iceland, will create an oasis within the city. The multi-sensory lagoon will feature an ocean-side infinity-edge in addition to cold pool and sauna experiences. Its un-obstructed 70-meter (230 ft) infinity-edge will produce a visual effect that will blend into the ocean landscape.
Embracing simple and natural elements, the overall design of the experience is focused on a modern and minimal approach. Layers of grey-blues, deep greens, whites and creams mirror the dramatic and natural landscape, while the addition of textures like precious metals and wood create an infusion of warmth.

"The Lagoon's design elements, influenced by Icelandic culture, create a distinctive guest experience with Icelandic turf houses and a restorative spa-like ritual rooted in Icelandic tradition. It is these traditions of bathing culture that are integral to the Icelandic way of life and are at the core of the Sky Lagoon experience."

* Step Two: Cool down with a cold plunge
Boost your happiness with cold therapy. Wander in the fresh Icelandic air. Or, if you're brave, take a quick dip in the cold plunge pool. It will stimulate your immune system, decrease blood flow in the body and tighten skin.
* Step Three: Relax with a view in the sauna
After your cold awakening, visit the sauna for five to 10 minutes. Allow the heat to open pores, remove toxins and cleanse your skin. While the heat works its magic, enjoy breathtaking views through the largest single window in Iceland and enjoy the sensory experience of gentle coastal acoustics.

Next, balance the heat by stepping slowly through Sky Lagoon's cold fog-mist space. It's stimulating and rejuvenating for mind, body and soul. Take a deep breath and refresh your senses.
* Step 5: The Sky Body Scrub
It's time for re-invigoration. By applying Sky Lagoon's signature Sky Body Scrub, your skin will be exfoliated and glowing.
* Step 6: The steam room
