Iceland is famous for its geothermal spas and hot springs, and relaxing in a hot pot is an essential part of Icelandic culture. Before pubs and coffee shops were invented, this is where Icelanders came to meet and chat with their friends and neighbours every day. Now you can make new friends all over the country, happily hopping from one heavenly hot pot to another. Did you know Reykjavík means “Smoky Bay”? The billowing clouds of steam vapor kept the early Viking settlers warm through the winter. You won’t be far from a gorgeous geothermal spa or mineral-rich hot pot anywhere you go in Iceland. So why not experience these radiant and rejuvenating waters and soothe your body and soul?
Wherever you go in Iceland, you won’t be far away from a geothermal spa or a natural hot spring where you can relax and unwind after a day of exploring. So get ready to enjoy Iceland’s national pastime – bathing outdoors in spectacular surroundings! High-end spas are found nationwide, including the world-famous Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Vök Baths in the east and Mývatn Nature Baths up north. However, Icelanders are more likely to be found in the public pools in the little towns and villages we visit on our tours. So you’ll have a chance to “meet the locals” and learn more about Icelandic bathing culture while enjoying your time in the pool! Here’s more information on the options for you!
Easily the most famous geothermal spa paradise in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon is a bucket-list location if ever there is one. Relax and enjoy the ultimate spa experience in the soothing blue-green waters, surrounded by a stunning volcanic landscape. It’s a sanctuary for body and soul, offering peace and rejuvenation.
So slap on some silica mud (it’s good for your skin!), enjoy a drink at the swim-up bar and marvel at the views! National Geographic named the Blue Lagoon as one of its 25 Wonders of the World – don’t miss your chance to experience this magical must-see place for yourself!
Sky Lagoon is close to the capital and gives you an unforgettable oceanside geothermal spa experience. Where else can you enjoy spectacular sea views from a 75-meter infinity pool while warming yourself in a dramatic rocky cove with traditional turf roof buildings?
Sky Lagoon offers a unique bathing experience inspired by Icelandic folklore with its Seven-Step Ritual. Savor each step of a perfect combination of hot and cooling pools, stunning sauna and steam rooms, refreshing mists and exfoliating body scrub. Then, slide over to the swim-up bar for a drink, and soak up the astonishing views!
Deep in the Viking heartlands of West Iceland, Húsafell Canyon Baths allows you to take a dip like the early Icelandic settlers would have done! Hidden away in the spectacular surroundings of the Hringsgil Canyon, you can soak yourself in an authentic Icelandic hotpot while enjoying the mesmerizing scenery all around you.
There are three hot pots of varying temperatures (30-41°C or 86-105°F), a cold-water pool and a cooling shower, all designed to blend naturally into the landscape. These stone-walled baths are the closest you’ll get to a genuine Viking bathing experience!
Heading to East Iceland allows you to visit Vök Baths, the only floating infinity pool in the country!
These unique geothermal baths are set in Lake Urriðavatn, inspired by the ice-free patches caused by the hot springs bubbling up into the lake from Iceland’s fiery heart.
Now you can soak yourself in this serene setting, hopping between the three six-sided outdoor infinity pools and enjoying unbroken views of the lake and beyond. The spring water is so pure that you can taste it if you want, but there is a bar as well! Why that name? Vök is the Icelandic word for “hole in the ice”.
North Iceland’s answer to the Blue Lagoon, Mývatn Nature Baths has one significant advantage over its southern counterpart – its magnificent views!
Located close to Lake Mývatn, the Nature Baths offer fantastic panoramic views of the lake and the volcanic crater of Hverfjall.
After a day of traveling, its healthy mineral-rich waters will soothe your body and soul. Calm your senses in clouds of steam, overlooking the marvelous flat-topped mountains dotted around the lake. One of Iceland’s most magical places, Mývatn Nature Baths is the perfect place for an unforgettable soak.
Every community in Iceland, from the capital to the smallest village, has its own “sundlaug” – a public swimming pool. This is where the locals come together daily to chat and tell stories, an Icelandic alternative to an American coffee shop or an English pub.
On our multi-day tour packages of Iceland, we’ll bring you to the finest public pools in the country, from the capital’s gleaming spas to the fun-filled waterparks and swimming pools in Borgarnes, Hveragerði, Akureyri and Isafjörður. Each has its own character and settings to savor.
Swimming pool culture is deeply rooted in the Icelandic psyche and character, so it’s essential to understand and respect its traditions. The early Icelanders used naturally-heated water for their laundry and bathing, as seen at Snorralaug, a stone-walled pool used by the 13th-century chieftain Snorri Sturluson in West Iceland.
Modern-day Icelanders have a strong social connection with their swimming pools as community centers. However, one important rule must be observed when you visit – shower completely naked and wash thoroughly before entering the waters. That applies to public pools.
Despite what you might have read on the Internet, you’ll find individual shower cubicles and convenient lockers at the Blue Lagoon, Sky, Vök and the other modern spas.
The locals will thank you for respecting their pools as they would when visiting your country!
Fed by limitless geothermal energy and its unique geology, Iceland is a land of hot water! That’s created a glorious culture of hot spring bathing in Iceland – now you can enjoy the nation’s favorite pastime too!
The Finns have saunas, the British have pubs, and the French have cafes. Icelanders have swimming pools! So why not join them, rest and re-energize with a hot soak in a modern geothermal spa? Or join the locals in the country’s public pools and hot pots? Consider yourself invited!
