This Is the Most Relaxing Destination in Europe
"Presented as one of the nation's abundant wellness offerings to help visitors unwind, this famed geothermal spa is highlighted as a key relaxation destination. BookRetreats said, "Not only does the island have the best peacefulness score globally, but it also leads all destinations for the serenity category in our report," and added, "In between its vast natural landscapes, Iceland has just one major city and several sleepy towns, placing first for low noise and light pollution. These pristine dark skies make it one of the best places to witness the spectacular northern lights." The report also emphasized the country's low population density and ease of travel, noting, "Icelanders spend an estimated 21.35 minutes in traffic one way, compared to 59.99 minutes in Costa Rica," positioning this spa as an accessible, restorative stop within a quietly scenic nation." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
