"Listed among the country's wellness offerings as a lagoon located just outside of Reykjavík, this coastal bathing experience is presented as another prime option for relaxation and unwinding. 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 analysis further highlighted the nation's low population density and short commute times — "Icelanders spend an estimated 21.35 minutes in traffic one way, compared to 59.99 minutes in Costa Rica," — reinforcing why a lagoon just outside the capital can feel particularly peaceful." - 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.
