Iceland is home to many natural hot springs, geysers and black-sand beaches, making it an ideal location for an up-close-and personal experience with nature.
Blue Lagoon
The most popular on the list, and one of Iceland’s overall most popular attractions, the Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa located in a lava field. The serene blue waters provide a stark contrast to the surrounding black volcanic rocks. Availability is limited for this one-of-a-kind experience, so be sure to purchase entrance tickets prior to your trip.
Reykholar SeaBaths
Reykholar SeaBaths features a unique geothermal experience: algae baths. Health benefits come along with relaxing in the waters. Feel at one with nature and hike on the nearby walking trails, full of local birdlife.
Laugarvatn Fontana
Located in southern Iceland, Laugarvatn Fontana is a spa and wellness center built directly on top of natural hot springs. Relax in the warm geothermal pools or natural steam rooms. The temperature of the steam differs based on time of year. The spa sits at the shores of Lake Laugarvatn, offering a perfect view while relaxing in the pool.
Secret Lagoon
The small town of Fludir is home to one of the oldest pools in Iceland, now the Secret Lagoon. A small geyser erupts every few minutes and can be seen from the natural hot springs. During the winter, guests can view the Northern Lights from the waters.
Myvatn Nature Baths
Myvatn Nature Baths is situated at the Lake Mývatn geothermal area. Open year-round, guests can enjoy massage services indoors or outside at the lagoon, natural geothermal steam baths and the lagoon enriched with alkaline minerals.
