Lalandia Spa

Lalandia Spa is a resort spa complex in Billund, the small Jutland town that is home to the global headquarters of LEGO, the world's most valuable toy brand whose colourful interlocking bricks have been produced in this Danish market town since Ole Kirk Christiansen whittled the first wooden duck in a carpentry workshop in 1932 and whose Legoland theme park, built from 58 million bricks and opened in 1968, transformed Billund from an anonymous agricultural centre into one of Denmark's most visited tourist destinations. The Lalandia resort, combining an indoor waterpark, subtropical swimming pools, and spa facilities, caters to the family audiences drawn to Billund's dual attractions of Legoland and Lego House, the creative experience museum designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and opened in 2017 as a six-storey architectural homage to the brick whose 25 million built-in LEGO elements make it the world's largest permanent LEGO installation. The chlorurated pool waters of Lalandia Spa, heated and maintained in a subtropical indoor climate that counteracts the grey Jutland winters, provide the thermal counterpart to the imaginative intensity of the brick universe next door, their warm embrace offering the physical rest that creative overstimulation demands.
