Experience Iceland’s healing waters
Scattered with volcanoes, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, glaciers, lava fields and lagoons, Iceland is one of the most atmospheric and photogenic places on earth. Paired with the accolade of being consistently rated one of the safest countries in the world, is there any wonder solo travellers flock to Iceland for the ultimate restorative break? The famed Blue Lagoon, around a 50-minute drive from the capital of Reykjavik, is the easiest place to experience the country’s mineral-rich healing waters. Milky turquoise and swirled in steam, the naturally heated seawater, which reaches highs of 39°C, provides endless benefits, including a sense of calm and improved skin texture. For a more luxurious solo experience away from the crowds, head to Lava Cove, a private part of the lagoon where nourishing algae and natural lava salts are on hand for the ultimate self-care indulgence.
