A large hot spring pool in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The name means King’s Spring, after King Christian IX who visited in 1874. Clear water at near boiling shows the heat beneath even when the surface is calm. 🌋

Such a nice hot spring with three small bathing areas, off the beaten path and very Icelandic in feel. Warm water, mossy stones, steam in the cold air, quiet and simple, incredible. Clean changing rooms and a welcoming reception, small and local, worth the detour. ♨️Kind of a hidden hot springs in Iceland.

The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most famous spots. With warm milky-blue water at around 37–39°C and dark rocks, this spot is perfect for relaxing. It’s more of a luxury spa than a wild hot spring, so expect crowds during high season and higher prices. Still it’s worth visiting at least once, especially if you go early in the day. They also give you a face mask (the silica mud mask leaves your skin feeling incredible).

A geothermal spa located in southwestern Iceland, in a lava field. The warm, mineral-rich waters are perfect for soaking.

Alright, so this is like the Blue Lagoon but quieter and with an infinity pool looking over the ocean. Warm water, fresh air, and just amazing views. And they have this whole seven-step ritual where you go from hot to cold. Super relaxing.

These natural pools are accessible after a short hike and offer clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
