Overview

Spend two relaxing hours at Reykjaböð Hot Springs, a new bathing spot in the Reykjadalur valley near Hveragerdi. The springs sit among mountains and rising volcanic steam, where warm water flows straight from the land itself. Only 35 minutes from Reykjavik, it makes an easy pause on a Golden Circle or South Shore day.

Your pass gives you unlimited access to the outdoor ritual area, so you can settle into the warm lagoon, heat up in the event sauna, brave the cold plunge, and walk the Kneipp pool at your own pace.

A wristband handles your locker and any payments, and showers, a towel, and a shared vanity area with hair dryers are all ready when you step out. You leave warmed through and fully present.
