Í sumar bætist ný perla í einstakt landslag uppsveita Árnessýslu. Laugarás Lagoon er nýr baðstaður í hjarta Suðurlands, við hina glæsilegu brú sem liggur yfir Hvítá við byggðina í Laugarási. Baðstaðurinn er hannaður þannig að hann fellur á fullkominn hátt inn í landslagið og veitir gestum einstaka upplifun með baðlóni á tveimur hæðum og einstöku útisvæði. Nákvæm dagsetning opnunar verður tilkynnt með vorinu. 

Mikilvægur þáttur í töfrum Laugarás Lagoon verður veitingastaðurinn Ylja sem Gísli Matthías Auðunsson fer fyrir. Á Ylju munu gestir njóta matreiðslu sem nýtir ferskt sjávarfang, afurðir frá bændum á Suðurlandi, þá ekki síst hið ljúffenga grænmeti sem svæðið er þekkt fyrir.
