Iceland Women’s Wellness Retreat

The day begins with a journey along Iceland’s famous Golden Circle, where your first stop is the Geysir geothermal area. Here, steaming vents and bubbling hot springs create a dramatic and ever-changing landscape.

Around 11:00, the route continues deep into the Highlands by Super Jeep, heading toward Kerlingarfjöll - also known as the “Lady Mountains.” After arrival, you’ll check into comfortable rooms and enjoy lunch before choosing how to spend the afternoon. You may opt for a scenic hike through the rugged surroundings or unwind in the Highland Baths, taking in the peaceful atmosphere.

As evening falls, there’s time to relax and fully appreciate the quiet beauty of this remote mountain setting.

The day is dedicated to discovering the raw beauty of the Kerlingarfjöll Highlands - one of Iceland’s most striking geothermal areas. Accompanied by a guide, you’ll set out on a hike through Hveradalir, a valley known for its steaming vents, vivid rhyolite formations, and rugged volcanic scenery.

The route covers approximately 12 km (7.5 miles) with an elevation gain of about 400 meters (1,300 ft) and takes around five hours, allowing for unhurried stops to take in the views along the way. After returning to the lodge, you’ll have time to relax and soak in the highland baths, followed by dinner in a calm and remote mountain setting.

The morning begins at a relaxed pace in the Highlands, giving you time to enjoy the surroundings before departing around midday. The journey continues with a visit to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most impressive and well-known waterfalls, where powerful cascades plunge into a dramatic canyon.

From here, we travel south toward Nesjavellir, arriving at a hotel set within a striking geothermal landscape. The evening is yours to unwind - take a soak in the hot tub, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, and settle into the calm of the surrounding nature.

Begin the day with a rejuvenating one-hour yoga session, guided by a certified teacher, to stretch, relax, and energize your body.

Later, journey to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for an unforgettable snorkeling experience in the Silfra fissure. Glide through icy-clear glacial waters while floating between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates - truly a one-of-a-kind Icelandic adventure. All necessary equipment, including warm drysuits, is provided to ensure comfort throughout.

Return to the hotel in the evening to relax, and if the sky is clear, enjoy the magical possibility of spotting the Northern Lights.

Following breakfast, it’s time to start the journey home. The transfer from the hotel to Keflavík International Airport takes around 1.5 hours, so guests are recommended to book afternoon flights to allow a comfortable schedule with one group stop along the way.

For those continuing their stay, it’s possible to return to Reykjavík with the guide after the airport drop-off. The day concludes with fond farewells and the shared memories of an unforgettable Icelandic winter experience.
