The Grapevine's take

Hvammsvík Hot Springs

Hvammsvík has topped Grapevine's Best of Reykjavík panel four years running, three times as Best Spa and now as Best Lagoon; "the best lagoon in all of Iceland," one panellist said. It sits on the Hvalfjörður shore, 45 minutes from the city on a road that went quiet when the tunnel opened. There are eight pools of different sizes and temperatures, filled with geothermal water cut with seawater, plus a steam bath and a swim-up bar. One pool is so close to the waterline that high tide takes it back. Seals have been known to come and look. It is smaller than most spas, so book ahead. Minimum age is ten, and no public transport comes near it: drive, or take the 4.5-hour round trip by bus from BSÍ.

About this tour

Hvammsvík Hot Springs is the #1 place to visit in the world according to Timeout

An ever-changing experience. In harmony with the tides and seasons.

What's unique about Hvammsvik Hot Springs is that they are part of a 1200 acre private estate that offers you complete freedom to explore and experience all our surroundings far away from the city life yet only a 45 minute picturesque drive from Reykjavik.  You will find yourself immersed in perfectly warm hot springs all year round right on the edge of the ocean.  In fact some of our hot springs will actually fill up as they are submerged in high tide giving you and ever changing experience.

Recharge, naturally! We offer eight natural hot springs of varying temperatures, a steam cave and outdoor relaxation areas. We have brand new facilities yet inspired by history of Hvammsvik that dates back to the 12th century.  You can even try out our outdoor changing facilities where you will shower under the open sky.

An exploration of Hvammsvík Hot Springs will leave you both relaxed and invigorated.

Pure, Salty and Good

At Hvammsvík Hot Springs you are immersed in a perfect fusion of geothermal water, flowing from our very own source 1400 meters underground, with seawater straight from the Atlantic ocean. The steady stream of this unique blend of water, between pools, over their edges and back into the ocean, ensures optimum water quality and cleanliness.

After a soak in the Hot Springs we recommend you try some delicious, light dishes inspired by our surroundings at our bistro. The seafood soup is a favorite or our infamous algae/ginger shot!

Come immerse yourself in unfiltered Icelandic nature, only 45 minutes from Reykjavík city center.

In harmony with nature

Our aim at Hvammsvik Hot Springs is to give our guests an authentic Icelandic nature experience. The area is rich in local wildlife, with over 30 different types of birds that reside in and around Hvammsvik. Wild sheep roam around in the summer and if lucky you might spot an Arctic Fox. Quite a few elves are said to reside in the rocks and hills of the nature resort!

Hvammsvík has its share of spectacular northern lights. Best time to witness the aurora borealis is in the evenings from October through April. Should you not witness the northern lights while soaking in the pools this is the perfect tour to combo with a northern lights evening tour.

A place in History

Hvammsvík is a historical landmark that was first discovered by the Vikings 1000 years ago, as recorded in Landnáma, the Icelandic book of settlers dating back to the 11th century. No wonder they chose Hvammsvík, given its incredible landscape, natural harbour, geothermal heat and wildlife.
