Overview
Enjoy the 7 parts of the Skjól Ritual
Your journey begins with Laug (lagoon), a relaxing soak in the warm geothermal waters of the lagoon, where you can take in stunning views of the North Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding beauty. Next comes Kuldi (cold), cold therapy that invites you to feel the refreshing effects of Icelandic air or, for the brave, a dip in the cold plunge, designed to boost immunity and tighten skin. Following this invigorating cool-down is Ylur (warmth), where the sauna’s heat detoxifies by opening pores and cleansing the skin. Enjoy the breathtaking view through Iceland’s largest single window as the warmth works its magic. Afterward, step into Súld (drizzle), a cold fog-mist space that balances the heat with a refreshing and stimulating sensation for both body and soul. The experience continues with Mýkt (softness), the application of the Sky Body Scrub, which exfoliates and softens your skin, leaving it glowing and smooth. To enhance this, enter Gufa (steam), the steam room, where moist warmth helps your skin absorb the therapeutic elements of the ritual, improving breathing and overall well-being. Finally, To complete the ritual, enjoy a shot of refreshing Saft (juice), alcohol-free Krækiber juice, a rich blend of Icelandic wild berries, offering the perfect balance of nourishment and revitalization. This Skjól Ritual, with its rich blend of heat, cold, and hydration, ensures an invigorating and sensory-rich experience from start to finish.
