Description

Take advantage of a luxurious hot spring experience in Iceland by enjoying the eight pools and gorgeous coastline views of Hvammsvik. Travelers and locals who want a quick getaway from the city and have a relaxing geothermal bath should book their tickets at this nature resort today.

The refreshing experience begins as you arrive at Hvammsvik hot springs, 45 minutes away from Reykjavik. The attraction’s convenient location in West Iceland makes it very accessible whether you want to visit for a day or stay for multiple days. 

The entire Hvammsvik estate consists of 1200 acres (486 hectares) of land surrounded by hillsides and the sea in Hvalfjordur fjord. Your ticket will give you access to most of these areas, particularly the nature resort and hot springs.

Spend the day dipping in Hvammsvik hot springs’ main attractions, its eight geothermal pools made of natural rocks. You can choose bathing in one of the pools or try them all as they feature different temperatures ranging from 95 to 104 F (35 to 40 C). 

Unlike most hot springs in Iceland, the water in the hot pools are a blend of underground water and seawater. The hot spring water comes from deep within the earth at 4593 feet (1400 meters), while the seawater comes directly from the Atlantic Ocean. This unique blend of water constantly changes with the tides and seasons, making your stay entirely different daily.

While enjoying the calming hot springs of Hvammsvik, you will also have an excellent view of the sea, surrounding mountains, and the rich wildlife of Iceland. Around 30 species of birds reside in the area, and arctic foxes would also venture here sometimes.

In addition to natural hot springs and scenic views, this resort offers several activities and events you can join. For example, you can begin your day with a farm tour and a Wim Hof Method session on the coastline or try stand-up paddleboarding in the afternoon. These are all free of charge but subject to availability.

If you feel like unwinding on the property after a soak, you can enjoy some light dishes offered at the resort. Not only can you spend your days enjoying the healing wonders of nature, but you can complete the experience with savory meals made from fresh ingredients.

Other facilities of Hvammsvik hot springs include the steam bath, outdoor and indoor changing facilities, and outdoor showers. Guests can also rent swimwear, towels, and swimming shoes from the resort.

This admission ticket to Hvammsvik hot springs gives you a full-day experience in the area. If you want to stay longer, you may choose to rent one of their four private houses with private hot springs and hot tubs. 

Don’t miss out on this luxury admission to Hvammsvik hot springs and nature resort, where you can experience the famous Icelandic geothermal bath while surrounded by stunning sceneries. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Tips from travelers

  • Track the ocean tide

    Time your arrival during lower tides so the shoreline pools remain exposed and accessible instead of flooded by cold ocean water.

  • Wear a warm knit hat

    Keep your head warm with a wool beanie while soaking, especially when chilly ocean winds sweep across the coastal basins.

  • Taste the warm seafood soup

    Stop at the casual bistro after bathing to warm up with hot fish soup and fresh bread.

  • Arrange your return ride early

    Schedule private transport back to the capital in advance, as hailing a taxi from this quiet fjord can take a long time.

  • Show up ahead of time

    Head to the reception desk early, as welcoming staff frequently check guests in before their scheduled slot if bath capacity allows.

  • Carry a protective phone pouch

    Bring a waterproof case for your phone so you can photograph the mountain backdrop safely from inside the warm springs.

What to bring

Swimwear and towel

Good to know

Moving between pools requires stepping into cold coastal air, as there are no covered hallways or enclosed relaxation lounges in swimwear. Water depths and heat vary naturally across the different stone basins, with the lowest pools mixing directly with ocean currents.

- The minimum age to buy an admission ticket is 12 years old. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian 18 years or older.

- Pre-booking is required before you can enter the Hvammsvik property.

- Guests are required to wear swimsuits while in the area. You can bring one or rent from the property.

What travelers love

More than half of reviews mention the fjord scenery.

  • Relaxing ocean and mountain views
  • Quiet atmosphere away from crowds
  • Clean changing facilities and sauna
  • Submerging in the cool fjord water

Most common complaint: Travelers find admission feels expensive once rental fees for essentials are added to the bill. Bring your own towel and water shoes with you to avoid paying for on-site rentals.

Amazing!

We were a bit surprised to learn that rental towels cannot be taken out to the pools. So, if you want a towel around your shoulders as you move from pool to pool, bring your own. Also, if you want to use the pool on the shoreline and/or plunge into the sea, it's best to have some water shoes to protect your feet from the rocks. All the other pools have pathways, so I was fine, but overheard some folks who did want to do the plunge but were dissuaded because of the rocky approach. Small things compared to the fantastic scenery, lovely pools and friendly staff.

Bellisima esperienza! Potersi immergere nelle vasche calde con fuori un po di vento ed una vista così spettacolare è qualcosa di sublime...in più c'è anche la sauna! Spogliatoi molto puliti, personale gentilissimo, siamo arrivati un'ora prima e ci hanno dato la possibilità di entrare. Bar fornito. Tutto bellissimo!

Stopped by here by chance on our way home from touring the peninsula. The hot springs were amazing, and stayed for dinner after. The seafood soup was spectacular

Beautiful facility with various hot tubs situated next to a lake with mountain views. Natural setting. Great steam room. Comfortable changing facilities. Friendly and helpful staff ( we appreciated the iPhone cover to allow us to take pictures and videos while bathing ). Delicious sandwiches in the cafe afterwards. About an hour from Reykjavik by car. Highly recommended.

Despite frigid temps and high winds, we thoroughly enjoyed our first Icelandic hot spring experience. There was never a feeling of being crowded or rushed. Swim up bar was especially nice and our lunch afterwards was delicious!
