A simple conversation led to a fruitful collaboration between Gympak, a wellness brand based in Sweden, and Hótel Ísland, Reykjavik’s first dedicated wellness and spa hotel. Following a visionary thought of redefining the wellness experience for travellers visiting Iceland’s vibrant capital.
Situated next to Laugardalur valley, home to Iceland’s largest thermal pool, botanical gardens, and various recreational facilities, Hótel Ísland has long been a retreat for guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Its partnership with Gympak marks a bold step towards delivering a holistic and immersive wellness experience.
A Perfect Fusion of Nature & Urban Comfort
Reykjavik seamlessly blends urban charm with breathtaking natural beauty. Guests can explore landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja church, the bustling harbour, and nearby geothermal baths, or venture out to witness volcanic landscapes. Hótel Ísland provides the ideal base for travellers looking to discover both adventure and tranquillity.
Personalised Wellness for Guests
In line with its commitment to enhancing guest wellbeing, Hótel Ísland now offers Gympak’s premium wellness bag, a sustainably designed package featuring activewear that complements the hotel’s overall vibe. Guests can further immerse themselves in relaxation at the Silfra Spa, or enjoy a feast at Restaurant Hekla, ensuring a truly refreshing stay.
“Our goal at Hótel Ísland is to create unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impression. Gympak’s approach to wellness aligns perfectly with our vision—it’s not just an added service, but a way to enrich our guests’ wellbeing at every level,” says Karolina Zawadzka, General Manager of Hótel Ísland.
A New Era of Wellness in Iceland
This partnership signifies a major milestone, as Gympak enters Iceland’s hospitality sector for the first time. By combining modern luxury with holistic wellness, both brands are setting a new standard for wellness-focused hotels in the region.
“Wellness is no longer a luxury—it’s essential. Our collaboration with Hótel Ísland allows us to create meaningful, enriching experiences that extend beyond traditional hospitality,” says Jone Sølvik, CEO of Gympak.
With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and top-tier service, this partnership is reshaping wellness tourism in Reykjavik, offering travellers a fresh and rejuvenating way to experience Iceland.
