Territorial guide
From the outside, the lagoon is notable for its architecture. The blue waters are framed by black lava and green moss. The parking lot is 200 m away from the springs, so you will have to walk a bit. The plus side will be that you can't hear the sounds of traffic from the resting place, which can detract from complete relaxation.
On the territory there are small buildings, which fit perfectly into the overall picture. There are locker rooms, showers, restrooms, treatment rooms, lounge areas, restaurants, bars and hotels.
The design of the local establishments is poised and stylish. For example, an interesting feature of the Lava restaurant is that it is built into the lava rock. And from the restaurant Moss, which is located on the roof of the exclusive spa, there is a view of the lava scenery and the entire lagoon. But keep in mind that the resort is not one of the cheap ones, which means the restaurants are top-notch with similarly high prices.
