Full Description
Sky Lagoon on the Kársnes shoreline
Sky Lagoon opened in 2021 on the Kársnes shoreline in Kópavogur, a short drive from central Reykjavik. The lagoon is designed with turf-house inspired walls and an infinity edge, so that as you float you look straight out over the North Atlantic. The water is kept warm all year, and the spa is popular after a day of sightseeing.
If you are looking for Sky Lagoon tickets or wondering how to get to Sky Lagoon, it is a few minutes by car or taxi from downtown Reykjavik and a short trip by public transport. Is Sky Lagoon worth visiting? Many travellers choose it as a calmer alternative to bigger spas on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
The seven-step spa ritual
The ritual is what sets Sky Lagoon apart. It guides you through a sequence that includes warm soaking in the lagoon, a cold plunge, a sauna with a sea view, a cold mist, a body scrub and a steam room, and it is designed to take around an hour and a half, though you can stay in the lagoon longer.
The alternation of hot and cold is meant to relax your muscles and leave you feeling refreshed. The steps are clearly signposted, staff are on hand to explain, and both Saman and Sér passes include the full ritual.
Saman or Sér: choosing your pass
The Saman Pass gives entry and the ritual with shared, open changing facilities. The Sér Pass has the same lagoon and ritual, but adds private changing shower cabins with signature botanical body products. The default option shown on this page is the Sér Pass, and the difference is in comfort and privacy rather than in the ritual.
Both passes include a towel and Sky body wash, shampoo and conditioner. If you do not own a swimsuit, one can be rented on site, and food and drinks are available to buy but are not part of the ticket.
Planning your visit: the best time, age rules and what to bring
The best time to visit Sky Lagoon is around sunset in the summer, when the light over the sea is warm, or in the evening in winter, when there is a chance of the northern lights. Weekday afternoons are usually quieter than weekends. Adult tickets apply from the age shown in the booking panel, and youth tickets cover younger teens.
Allow about two and a half to three hours in total, including changing and the ritual. Book a time slot in advance because slots fill up, especially in the evenings. The lagoon is wheelchair-accessible, and small-group availability may apply at quieter times.
