One
of Iceland's primary natural resources is thermal water.
Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, has vast reserves
of thermal water that are utilized in a variety of ways,
including electricity production and space heating. Another
important use of this resource is to increase wellness.
In this connection two new wellness centers are being constructed
in Laugardalur Valley, the city’s large, multifaceted
recreation and sports complex near city center. Early in
2004 a threestory 7,100 m2 health spa is scheduled to open
its doors. In addition to a fully equipped fitness center,
the spa will offer numerous services, including various
kinds of massages, pedicures, manicures, facials and medical
services. The pride of the spa will be a consummate bathhouse,
which will include several types of baths along with ideal
facilities for rest and relaxation.
