Round trips in Iceland

Near Keflavik International Airport is the famous Blue Lagoon, which certainly deserves its designation as a geothermal spa resort. On closer inspection, however, the beautiful, rugged, and at the same time very healing Iceland should be allowed to bear this honorary title in its entirety. Not only do the many beautiful and visually appealing highlights have their own personal charm for tourists and make the country a treat for the soul, but the country's many hot springs, numerous natural baths, and many other geothermal wellness oases also play an important role in providing deep relaxation. With a luxury trip to Iceland, you will get to know one of the largest volcanic islands. There is also very exclusive accommodation here. For example, you can choose between a rustic nature hotel, which delights with its cozy atmosphere, or the exclusive beach hotel, which amazes everyone. Excellent service and exquisite cuisine are of course included.
