Extra-special spa breaks - The Blue Lagoon

Over the past few years, the popularity of spa breaks has absolutely rocketed as people seek stress relief, rejuvenation and a bit of pampering.

The Blue Lagoon
Where? South-west Iceland, about 40 minutes from Reykjavík
Who for? People who'd like to go swimming on the moon.
Why go? Looking like a set for a science-fiction film, The Blue Lagoon takes advantage of Iceland's unique geography. The natural thermal waters form a milky blue lake, with a steamy mist blowing across the water. At the sides there are special silica face packs for everyone to slap on, and rows of white faces swimming towards you just adds to the surreal feel of the place.
What else? While everyone else is mooching about in the space water, there are also plenty of treatments available. Some involve getting massages whilst floating in the pools.
