Tour Details

Just a short, scenic 45-minute drive from the bustling heart of Reykjavík, Hvammsvík Hot Springs awaits—a hidden gem nestled within a sprawling 1200-acre private estate. This enchanting retreat, named the #1 place to visit in the world in 2023 by Timeout, offers an unparalleled escape into the serene embrace of Icelandic nature. As you arrive, the crisp ocean breeze greets you, and the rhythmic sound of waves sets the stage for a transformative experience.

Here, the hot springs are a living, breathing part of the landscape, their temperatures shifting with the tides and seasons. Imagine sinking into the perfectly warm waters, where geothermal heat from deep within the earth mingles with the fresh Atlantic seawater, creating a unique and invigorating blend. The springs, nestled right at the ocean's edge, offer a dynamic experience as they fill and empty with the tides, ensuring each visit is unlike the last.

Hvammsvík is more than just a place to soak; it's a journey through time and nature. The estate's history stretches back to the 12th century, and its modern facilities pay homage to this rich past. As you explore, you'll find eight natural hot springs of varying temperatures, a steam cave that envelops you in a warm, misty embrace, and outdoor relaxation areas that invite you to unwind under the vast Icelandic sky. For the adventurous, outdoor changing facilities offer the unique thrill of showering beneath the open heavens.

After your rejuvenating soak, indulge in the culinary delights of the on-site bistro, where dishes are inspired by the surrounding landscape. Savor the rich flavors of the seafood soup or invigorate your senses with the infamous algae and ginger shot.

The natural beauty of Hvammsvík is complemented by its vibrant wildlife. Over 30 species of birds call this area home, and in the summer, wild sheep graze freely. If fortune smiles upon you, you might even catch a glimpse of an elusive Arctic Fox or feel the mystical presence of elves said to dwell in the rocks and hills.

As night falls, the sky often comes alive with the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights, best viewed from October through April. This celestial spectacle, combined with the tranquil setting, makes Hvammsvík Hot Springs a place where relaxation and wonder intertwine, leaving you both relaxed and invigorated. Come, immerse yourself in the unfiltered beauty of Icelandic nature, and discover why this sanctuary is a must-visit destination.
