Sundlaugin Garði

About Sundlaugin Garði

Sundlaugin Garði is the public pool of Garður, a small village on the northern tip of the Reykjanes peninsula, in the municipality of Suðurnesjabær. It sits in the Garður sports centre at Garðbraut 94, a few minutes' drive from the Garðskagi lighthouses, and about 15 minutes from Keflavík Airport.

The outdoor pool measures 25 by 8 metres, and alongside it are two hot tubs, a cold tub, a children's wading pool and a water slide. There is also a steam bath and an infrared cabin, which costs 1,500 ISK for up to 25 minutes including pool entry and a towel. The sports centre also has a gym and sports hall.

The winter timetable runs from 1 September to 31 May: weekdays 06:00–08:00 and 14:30–20:30, and weekends 10:00–16:00. From 1 June to 22 August the pool opens weekdays 06:00–21:00 and weekends 10:00–16:00, and in the last week of August weekdays return to split hours. It closes on several public holidays, including Good Friday, Easter Sunday, 1 May, Whit Sunday, 17 June, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

The 2026 single ticket for ages 19–66 is 1,250 ISK, and children up to 18, seniors aged 67 and over and disabled visitors swim free. Swimwear or towel rental costs 750 ISK, and a package of entry, towel and swimsuit costs 2,200 ISK.

With free entry for children and a quiet setting, Garður is a sensible place for families to swim near the airport, for example after an early arrival or before a late flight. The Sandgerði pool, run by the same municipality, is about 5 km away. Shower without a swimsuit before entering the pool.
