Experiences

Icelandic bathing culture is more than a tradition, it’s a way of life. The natural abundance of geothermal hot water makes bathing a daily ritual cherished by locals.

Each of our baths has its own source of hot water, giving every location a distinct character. The natural variety of the North, combined with the pure water, makes the visit truly memorable.

We invite you to soak in the experience, surrounded by untamed landscapes and the warmth of Icelandic hospitality.

EXPERIENCE

What Makes the Northern Baths Different?

Icelanders have turned to hot springs for warmth, rest, and renewal since the settlement in 874 AD. While baths can be found all over the country, we believe the ones here in the North stand out for several reasons.

Surrounded by Nature

Offering experiences unlike any other, our baths are surrounded by beautiful and varied landscapes. Each location is shaped by the forces of nature that define the North.

Layers of the North

As a destination, North Iceland has something unique to offer year-round. Its charming towns, vibrant culture and stunning nature make it a place worth discovering.

Three Ways to Unwind

The three baths are all different and offer unique experiences and environments. That's what makes our region so special to visit.

Pure Water

The water in our baths is truly unique. It comes from deep underground, naturally  heated and enriched with beneficial minerals.

NATURE

A Land of Contrasts

Where long valleys and peninsulas meet lava fields, smooth hills, and rugged mountains. Along the deeply indented coast, some areas are lush, others barren. As we are closer to the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun makes Northern summer nights truly unforgettable. Visit www.northiceland.is to plan your journey.
