Sky Lagoon Opens Today Construction of the baths - one of the largest in Iceland’s travel industry in recent years - began early last year and has proceeded well.

Dagný Pétursdóttir, managing director of Sky Lagoon. mbl.is/Eggert Jóhannesson Dagný Pétursdóttir, managing director of Sky Lagoon, is optimistic. “Although we may get off to a slow start this summer, we are very optimistic. Once things get going, I think they will happen quickly,” she states. “Of course, you don’t make an investment of ISK 5 billion [USD 40 million; EUR 33 million] unless you’re looking toward the future,” she adds.

A new bathing lagoon opens in Iceland today. Unlike other such geothermal spas in the country, this one is not only inside the capital city, but also right on the seashore. The outdoor spa uses naturally-hot water and features a 75-metre-long ‘infinity pool’ that appears to merge into the sea.
The tourist attraction cost five billion krónur and its managers acknowledge the timing is perhaps not idea, but that they are targeting locals and visitors alike, and hope the tourism industry will recover quickly as the summer progresses.
