Experience a one-of-a-kind wellness retreat in North Iceland with this private Bjorbodin Beer Spa experience from Akureyri. Perfect for travelers seeking rest and rejuvenation, this relaxing experience blends Icelandic nature, craft beer, and traditional wellness in one unforgettable visit.
This private beer bath experience includes round-trip transportation from Akureyri and your entrance fee, making it a smooth and stress-free outing.
Bjorbodin offers a warm, nutrient-rich soak that nourishes the skin and relaxes the body. Each private tub has its own Kaldi beer tap for drinking, adding a playful touch to a peaceful, nature-filled experience.
Your relaxing activity begins with pickup from your accommodation in Akureyri. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive along the northern coast, where mountains meet the fjord. Soon you’ll arrive at the Bjorbodin Beer Spa, Iceland’s first beer bath experience, located in the peaceful village of Arskogssandur.
At the spa, you’ll be welcomed into a cozy wooden cabin filled with the scent of hops and the warmth of geothermal water. Your private room features handcrafted wooden tubs, each filled with a soothing blend of warm water, young beer, live yeast, and hops.
This mixture is more than just for fun. It’s packed with natural ingredients known for their benefits to the skin and body.
Beer yeast is rich in B vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants that help renew skin cells and restore a natural glow. Many guests notice their skin feels softer and smoother after soaking.
Hops, often used in herbal medicine, are known for their calming effects and can help reduce stress and improve sleep. Together, they create a bath that’s as nourishing as it is relaxing.
As you sink into the warm water, you can pour yourself a cold Kaldi beer straight from the tap next to your tub. It’s perfectly legal, and encouraged, to sip while you soak. The heat of the bath helps improve circulation, open pores, and trigger endorphins, your body’s natural feel-good chemicals.
After about 25 minutes, you’ll move to a quiet relaxation room where the warmth continues to soothe your body and mind.
If you’d like, step outside to the spa’s open-air hot tubs overlooking the fjord. The fresh Icelandic air and panoramic views make it the perfect spot to unwind before your return journey. It’s easy to see why locals and visitors alike consider this one of North Iceland’s most unique experiences.
The Bjorbodin Spa’s water comes directly from Solarfjall, a pristine mountain spring filtered through untouched nature. Combined with beer oil and beer salt, it creates a bath that’s clean, refreshing, and deeply hydrating. Some historians even believe early fermented drinks were first used as health tonics rather than party drinks, so in a way, you’re taking part in an ancient ritual of wellness.
Sip, soak, and unwind at the Bjorbodin Beer Spa, where nature, wellness, and beer meet in the most relaxing way possible. Check availability now by choosing a date.
