Experience the ultimate relaxation at the newest geothermal spa in Iceland by booking this Birki standard ticket to the Laugaras Lagoon.
Perfect for travelers looking to unwind after a day of sightseeing in the Golden Circle, this admission ticket provides unlimited access to saunas, geothermal lagoons, and infinity pools at an affordable price. Towel and swimwear rentals are also available if you’d rather travel light.
Your wellness retreat begins just about a 6-minute detour from the main Golden Circle route. Located only minutes from Skalholt Cathedral and within 30 minutes from Gullfoss Waterfall and the Geysir Geothermal Area, it’s the ideal mid-day recharge or relaxing end to your sightseeing.
If you are going from Reykjavik, this lagoon spa in Iceland is just about 58 miles (94 kilometers) east. It is accessible by rental car or public bus transportation, making it an easy stop for groups, couples, families, and even solo travelers.
The Birki standard ticket is the most affordable option to enjoy the Laugaras Lagoon and all its essential comforts. You’ll get access to the geothermal lagoon, forest pool, dry saunas, and cold pool. The ticket also includes use of the changing rooms with personal lockers, plus complimentary shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and use of hair dryers.
This is the best-value option for travelers on a budget or anyone short on time who still wants to enjoy the full lagoon and Iceland hot spring bathing experience.
Besides the standard wellness pass, other admissions to Laugaras Lagoon are the Lerki and Osp tickets. Lerki ticket includes additional perks like a towel and a drink from the swim-up bars. Osp ticket offers the most extensive package with a two-course meal at the on-site Ylja Restaurant.
On arrival, you'll receive an entry bracelet which allows you to purchase drinks at the lagoon, without having to bring your card or phone with you in the water.
Once you enter, you’ll find yourself surrounded by forested hills and sweeping views of the Hvita River. This stunning two-story lagoon near the Golden Circle welcomes you with modern facilities and mineral-rich waters kept at a comforting 100–104°F (38–40°C) temperature.
One of the highlights of the lagoon is its man-made 21.7-foot (6.6-meter) long waterfall that flows directly into the pool. It’s the only one of its kind among the lagoons in Iceland, and it's one of the two entry ways to the lower part of the lagoon, meaning you can walk through it!
There are many different seating areas around the lagoon, so it's easy to find a cozy spot to relax and enjoy. To complement the visit, choose from a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at the two in-water bars.
For quieter moments, head to the secluded grotto, framed by Icelandic basalt columns. It's a designated "quiet zone" where you can unwind and enjoy a private experience.
If you want to get closer to nature, the Forest Pool invites you to relax in warm, mineral-rich water in a separate area closer to the surrounding forest. It's quieter than the main lagoon, and you'll be able to enjoy the calming scent of the trees.
After a good soak, retreat to one of the two dry saunas nestled within the thick forest. Then, complete your wellness spa experience with a cold plunge right next door that leaves you recharged and rejuvenated.
Although the Birki ticket doesn’t include dining, you can still purchase a meal at the stunning on-site Ylja Restaurant when heading out. It's led by acclaimed Icelandic chef Gisli Matt and the menu features seasonal dishes made with fresh ingredients from nearby farms, fisheries, and greenhouses.
Don’t miss out on this Birki entry ticket to Laugaras Lagoon and experience one of Iceland’s most relaxing geothermal spas near the Golden Circle. Check availability now by choosing a date.
