On the surface, Iceland has a frosty exterior that might seem uninviting at first glance. But there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface – as is common in many great love stories.
Underneath the icy landscape is where the magic resides. Thanks to tectonic activity, geothermal hot water bursts up into the atmosphere and creates an enviable culture of hot-spring bathing in Iceland.
Hot springs and pools are found in every part of the country, in all shapes and sizes. If you start to feel chilly from admiring the overflowing array of natural highlights around the country, you can always rest and re-energize with a hot soak.
If you’re adventurous, nature baths might be your thing (take a hike to the geothermal river Varmá in Reykjadalur valley, for example). A cozy hot-pot at a cabin in the countryside is also a great option, and perfect if you want privacy.
If you’re looking for a soak with added luxury, there are plenty of well-known geothermal spas to choose from. We’ve designed a few multi-day packages you can check out, where we’ve combined flights and accommodation with a popular Golden Circle excursion and a rejuvenating visit to the Sky Lagoon or Blue Lagoon.
