Geothermal baths

Iceland is covered with natural hot springs, swimming pools and geothermal baths. These pools are used by Icelanders of all ages for recreation and relaxation. But what is the difference between them?

Almost every town in Iceland is home to a swimming pool. They are heated with geothermal water and often have hot tubs, smaller pools for children and even slides. Schoolchildren take swimming lessons in the pools and townspeople meet to gossip and relax.

Hot springs are more rustic and located in the Icelandic countryside. Many of these hot springs have been in use for centuries, dating back to the time of the sagas. Usually, these hot springs are off the beaten path and might require a little hike.

Geothermal baths in Iceland offer specialized services like saunas, steam rooms and even massage services. Such baths are often found in beautiful natural settings. Geothermal baths in Iceland include the Blue Lagoon, the Sky Lagoon and the Forest Lagoon.

Immerse yourself in the soothing waters and experience the healing powers of geothermal baths in Iceland. Go on an adventure and soak in a natural pool located deep in nature or visit a geothermal bath and relax in the steam baths, hot pools, and sauna.
