Hvammsvík: A Soaking Experience Like No Other
Unlike crowded city spas or commercialized lagoons, Hvammsvík offers an intimate, off-the-beaten-path experience that connects you directly to Iceland’s geothermal heart. Set across a secluded coastal area, Hvammsvík features eight natural hot spring pools, each with varying temperatures and layouts. Some pools are carved directly into the black volcanic shoreline, where the hot water flows naturally from underground sources. Others are manmade but blend seamlessly into the surroundings with minimalist Nordic design.
Depending on the tide, you can enjoy the contrast of icy seawater lapping at the edges of the hot pools—a rare and invigorating sensation found nowhere else. This blend of fresh ocean water and geothermal heat gives Hvammsvík a uniquely refreshing and grounding quality.
What Makes Hvammsvík So Special?
Fewer Crowds, More Peace: Unlike more famous hot springs like the Blue Lagoon or Sky Lagoon, Hvammsvík remains a hidden gem. With limited daily visitors, your experience is quiet, personal, and truly relaxing.
Scenic Beauty in All Directions: The pools offer panoramic views of mountains, ocean waves, moss-covered rocks, and sometimes even passing seals or whales. It’s a photographer’s dream and a nature-lover’s paradise.
Wild and Raw, Yet Comfortable: The design of the facilities maintains a rustic, natural feel while offering clean changing rooms, showers, and a cozy café and bar where you can enjoy Icelandic snacks or drinks post-soak.
Wellness from Nature: The mineral-rich waters of Hvammsvík are geothermally heated and naturally filtered, providing proven therapeutic benefits—from soothing aching muscles to reducing stress and promoting skin health.

What to Expect at Hvammsvík Hot Springs
Here’s what a typical visit looks like:
- Arrival and Check-In: Upon arrival, your host will welcome you and provide access to the locker rooms. Towels and swimsuits can be rented on-site, but we recommend bringing your own for convenience.
- Time to Soak: You’ll have ample time—usually 2 to 2.5 hours—to explore all eight pools. Try a warmer pool first (up to 42°C / 108°F) before wandering to the oceanfront baths where temperatures are lower but the views more dramatic.
- Warm Indoor Spaces: Take a break in the indoor lounge, sip on herbal tea or craft beer, and gaze out the large windows that frame the sea and sky like paintings.
- Back to Reykjavík: After your soak, you’ll meet your driver and be transported back to the city, feeling refreshed, centered, and deeply relaxed.
Traveler Tips for the Best Experience
Bring water-friendly sandals – The terrain around the pools is natural stone, and having good grip helps.
Don’t skip the shower! – Like all Icelandic hot springs, it’s customary (and required) to shower without swimwear before entering the pools.
Unplug for real relaxation – There’s Wi-Fi in the lounge, but try leaving your phone behind while you soak for a truly mindful escape.
Bring a waterproof camera – The views are breathtaking, and you may want to capture a few special moments.
