How Much Is Food At The Blue Lagoon?

Published Blue Lagoon food and drink figures in ISK: what each admission tier includes, what the restaurants charge, and the honest total for two people.

How Much Is Food At The Blue Lagoon?

The honest answer is that food is a separate line from your ticket, and the only published meal prices are group menus at Lava Restaurant: a two-course lunch at ISK 11,900, a three-course lunch at ISK 12,900 and a three-course dinner at ISK 13,900 per person. Every admission includes at least one drink, and Comfort, the cheapest tier, includes one non-alcoholic drink from a set menu.

That group-menu framing matters, because it is the only set of meal figures Blue Lagoon itself publishes. If you are an individual couple walking into Lava Restaurant and ordering à la carte, the venue does not publish those prices on its open pages, so this page will not invent them. What can be stated, from Blue Lagoon's own site, is the structure: which restaurants exist, when they are open, what each admission tier includes by way of food and drink, and what the venue's own published figures add up to.

The starting point for most readers is the ticket itself. The Comfort admission, sold from $146 on the operator's live listing, is the entry point, and it already covers a surprising amount: a towel, the silica mud mask at the Mask Bar, and one non-alcoholic drink from the included menu. Higher tiers add more drinks and more masks. The gap between "what the ticket costs" and "what the day costs" is almost entirely food, and that gap is what this page prices out.

Blue Lagoon runs four food outlets, and their opening hours are published on the venue's opening-hours page: Lava Restaurant daily 11:30 to 21:00, Moss Restaurant Wednesdays to Sundays from 18:00, Spa Restaurant daily 08:00 to 20:00 with breakfast 08:00 to 10:30, and Blue Café, which follows the lagoon's seasonal hours. The lagoon itself opens every day of the year, with summer hours of 07:00 to 23:00 from 15 June to 20 August.

There is also a hard ceiling on drinking in the water. Blue Lagoon's etiquette page states plainly that "there is a limit of three alcoholic drinks per guest while using the lagoon." That is a rule worth knowing before you budget a long afternoon at the in-water bar, and it applies regardless of which ticket you hold.

What Each Admission Tier Includes By Way Of Food And Drink

Comfort, from ISK 11,990 on Blue Lagoon's own day-visit page, includes one non-alcoholic drink from the included menu. Premium, from ISK 14,990, adds one drink of choice at the in-water bar. Signature, from ISK 18,490, includes two drinks of choice at the in-water bar. No tier includes a meal, and none includes food beyond the drink allowance.

Those are Blue Lagoon's own published inclusions, listed on its day-visit page. The distinction between the drink allowances is easy to miss and worth spelling out. "One non-alcoholic drink from the included menu" is narrower than "one drink of choice at the in-water bar": the Comfort allowance is a set soft-drink menu, while Premium and Signature open the full bar, including alcoholic options. Signature doubles the in-water bar allowance to two drinks of choice.

Tier Published from-price Drink allowance Food included
Comfort ISK 11,990 One non-alcoholic drink from the included menu None
Premium ISK 14,990 One drink of choice at the in-water bar None
Signature ISK 18,490 Two drinks of choice at the in-water bar None

A practical reading of that table: if you plan to have a drink or two in the water and nothing else, Premium or Signature can effectively bundle your bar spend into the ticket. If you are happy with a soft drink, Comfort's included allowance covers you and the upgrade buys masks and a bathrobe rather than more alcohol. The Signature tier also includes Blue Lagoon skincare products to take home, which the venue values at ISK 14,000 in its own listing of what the tier contains.

One more published figure belongs in this section because it is a food-adjacent extra rather than a meal: group floating is listed at ISK 5,900, an in-water massage starts from ISK 20,900, and float therapy starts from ISK 20,950. None of these include food either, but they are the add-ons most often booked alongside a long lagoon session, and they belong in an honest total-spend picture.

What A Second Drink Costs At The Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon does not publish individual bar prices for the in-water bar on its open pages, so this page prints no number for a second drink. What is published is the allowance structure: Comfort includes one non-alcoholic drink, Premium one drink of choice, Signature two drinks of choice, and the venue caps alcohol at three drinks per guest in the lagoon.

That is the honest form of the answer. Plenty of travel pages quote a beer or a wine price at the Blue Lagoon, and those figures circulate freely, but they do not come from a primary source the venue currently publishes, so they do not appear here. What you can plan around is the structure. If you are on Comfort and want a second drink, you pay bar prices on site, charged to the electronic wristband that also works as your locker key and cashless payment card.

The wristband system is worth a sentence of its own, because it changes how the spending feels. Blue Lagoon's etiquette page explains that the bracelet acts as locker key and payment method, and that a fee applies if it is lost. Drinks at the in-water bar go on the band, and you settle when you leave. For budgeting, that means the bar spend is invisible until the end of the visit, which is exactly why readers ask this question in advance.

The three-drink limit is the other planning fact. It is a safety rule, not a revenue rule, and it applies per guest while using the lagoon. If your group plans a full evening, the honest expectation is: whatever your tier includes, plus at most a couple of paid drinks beyond it, with food from the restaurants on dry land rather than in the water.

What The Restaurants Cost: The Published Figures

The only meal prices Blue Lagoon publishes are its 2026 group menus at Lava Restaurant: a two-course lunch at ISK 11,900 per person, a three-course lunch at ISK 12,900, and a three-course dinner at ISK 13,900. Those are group rates for travel professionals and event bookings, published on the venue's own rate page, and they are the closest thing to a published meal benchmark the venue offers.

The group menu page is aimed at groups, and individual diners should treat the figures as a floor estimate rather than a promise: an à la carte table for two may land higher or lower depending on choices, and those à la carte prices are not published on the venue's open pages. If you are budgeting a dinner for two at Lava Restaurant, the group-menu figure of ISK 13,900 per person for three courses is the only published anchor, and it is a reasonable planning number.

Beyond Lava, the venue's other outlets fill different needs. Spa Restaurant serves breakfast from 08:00 to 10:30 and runs to 20:00 daily, which makes it the option for early arrivals on the 07:00 summer opening. Moss Restaurant, open Wednesdays to Sundays from 18:00, is the fine-dining seat in the building. Blue Café, following the lagoon's seasonal hours, is the casual stop, and its prices are likewise not published on the open pages.

For a couple pricing the whole day, a defensible published-figures-only estimate looks like this: two Comfort admissions from ISK 11,990 each, two included soft drinks, and one shared three-course dinner using the group-menu benchmark of ISK 13,900 per person. That lands the food-and-drink portion, beyond the tickets, at roughly the price of another admission per person. Readers who want the ticket side of that sum in detail can compare the tiers on the Lagoons in Iceland roster, where the Comfort listing is carried at from $146 with a 4.6 rating across 6,220 reviews.

How The Blue Lagoon Compares With Lagoons That Feed You

Most Icelandic lagoons sell food separately, but the inclusions differ sharply: Secret Lagoon at Flúðir includes no food or drink with its ISK 4,500 admission, while Laugarás Lagoon sells ticket tiers built around its on-site restaurant, and Hvammsvík's admission tiers include a drink only at the Comfort level. The pattern is that newer venues bundle more, and the Blue Lagoon sits in the middle.

This comparison is where the total-spend question gets its answer. A cheap ticket with no inclusions can cost more over a full day than an expensive ticket that bundles a meal, and the only way to see that is to line the inclusions up. The table below does that using each venue's own published material and the ticket listings on this site's roster.

Venue Ticket from (listing) Food and drink included Restaurant on site
Blue Lagoon $146 (Comfort) One non-alcoholic drink (Comfort), one to two drinks of choice (Premium, Signature) Yes: Lava, Moss, Spa Restaurant, Blue Café
Laugarás Lagoon $73 Depends on tier; tiers are built around the on-site restaurant offer Yes: Ylja restaurant
Secret Lagoon $35 None No restaurant; snacks and drinks only
Hvammsvík $84 One drink of choice at the Comfort tier (ISK 11,100-15,100) Yes: Stormur Bistro

Laugarás Lagoon is the interesting contrast. It opened in October 2025 on the Golden Circle route beside the Hvítá river, and its three dynamic tiers, Birki, Lerki and Ösp, are priced with the restaurant in mind rather than as a bare soak. Its listing on this site carries a 4.8 rating from 74 reviews, and the from-price of $73 is roughly half the Blue Lagoon's Comfort listing. For a reader whose real question is "what will the whole evening cost," a venue that bundles the meal into the tier can undercut a venue that sells everything separately.

Secret Lagoon is the other end of the scale, and it is a fair one for budget travellers. Admission is kr. 4,500 for adults, no food or drink is included, and there is no restaurant on site, only the pool, the geothermal area and whatever you bring. The venue does accept ISK, USD and EUR cash and most cards, and pre-booking is highly recommended. The full cost picture for Secret Lagoon, including what a day there adds up to, is covered in the companion piece on what the Secret Lagoon costs.

The broader pattern across the country's lagoons, including which ones have swim-up bars and what they pour, is tracked in the guide to Iceland's lagoons with swim-up bars. The Blue Lagoon's in-water bar is one of several, and the drink allowance per tier is the variable that decides how much of that bar visit is already paid for.

Can You Eat For Less Around The Blue Lagoon?

Yes, but not much less on site: Blue Café is the casual option and its prices are not published, while the nearest alternatives are in Grindavík and Keflavík, a 20-minute drive away. Blue Lagoon's own site describes the lagoon as 20 minutes from Keflavík Airport and 45 to 50 minutes from Reykjavík, so the cheapest published-figure strategy is to eat before you arrive and use the included drink in the water.

That strategy is not a workaround, it is how the venue is designed. The included drink on every tier means a visitor who eats beforehand and soaks for two hours can spend nothing beyond the ticket, and Blue Lagoon's own guidance is that you can stay in the lagoon as long as you like within opening hours. Readers wondering whether that window is enough will find the timing question worked through in whether two hours at the Blue Lagoon is enough.

There are two practical constraints on the eat-elsewhere plan. First, the arrival window: the venue asks guests to arrive within the one-hour window of their booking time, so a meal before arrival needs to be planned against that slot. Second, luggage: there is a luggage house in the main parking lot where bags can be stored for a small fee, which matters if you are eating between an airport arrival and a lagoon slot.

For groups, the group-menu route is the one with published prices, and groups of twelve or more are exactly who those menus are for. For couples and solo travellers, the honest position stands: the venue publishes its drink allowances and its group menus, and the à la carte prices are on the venue's own menu when you sit down.

Common Questions About Food And Drink At The Blue Lagoon

How Much Is Food At The Blue Lagoon?

The only published meal prices are Lava Restaurant's 2026 group menus: ISK 11,900 for a two-course lunch, ISK 12,900 for a three-course lunch and ISK 13,900 for a three-course dinner per person. Individual à la carte prices are not published on the venue's open pages, so the group figures are the planning benchmark.

Is food included in the Blue Lagoon ticket?

No tier includes a meal. Comfort includes one non-alcoholic drink from the included menu, Premium adds one drink of choice at the in-water bar, and Signature includes two drinks of choice. Food comes separately from the four on-site outlets.

How many drinks can you have at the Blue Lagoon?

Every admission includes at least one drink. Beyond the included allowance, the venue caps alcohol at three drinks per guest while using the lagoon. Extra drinks are charged to the electronic wristband and settled on exit.

Which restaurants are at the Blue Lagoon?

Four: Lava Restaurant daily 11:30 to 21:00, Moss Restaurant Wednesdays to Sundays from 18:00, Spa Restaurant daily 08:00 to 20:00 with breakfast from 08:00 to 10:30, and Blue Café, which follows the lagoon's seasonal hours.

Can you bring your own food to the Blue Lagoon?

The venue does not publish a policy on outside food on its open pages, so this page states no rule. What is published is the luggage option: bags can be stored at the luggage house in the main parking lot for a small fee, and lockers inside measure 35x45 cm.

Is it cheaper to eat before visiting the Blue Lagoon?

On published figures, yes. Since every tier includes a drink and no tier includes food, a visitor who eats before arriving can spend nothing beyond the ticket, and the venue allows you to stay in the lagoon as long as you like within opening hours.
