The 10 Best Spas & Wellness in Reykjavik, Capital Region
Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

This pool is usually less busy than Sundhöll Reykjavíkur and Laugardalslaug. I recommend taking a dip in the cold one (4c-8c) than to the hottest one (42c), repeat a couple of times ????. As always, please remember to wash before entering the pools in Iceland ????.

Perfect for first arrival, late night, jet-lag, city break recharge or digital-detox. Come right from your flight or tour. No swimsuit required (as it is private rooms and baths) and feel free to store your belongings in the room with you if needed. Nowhere in Iceland does an experience like this occur naturally. Icelandic water warmed to body temperature - with Dead Sea / Epsom (Magnesium) Salts added to make up 30% of the volume of water causes the body to float weightlessly - allowing complete muscle relaxation and absorption of magnesium through the skin - resulting in ultimate recharge and rest into the next days. Optional darkness and complete quiet provide the perfect private place to recharge, regardless of weather or time of day. Effects are felt for days and are perfect for jet-lag, city break or recharge.

My favorite experience in Iceland! First off, the facilities were spotless and the location is only 12 mins walking distance from downtown! Second, I was so relaxed during my experience I fell asleep in the tank. The float lasts a little over an hour, leaving the last 15 mins to re-shower and redress yourself. I am magnesium deficient and have MS, and I was reluctant to try this afraid that the water temperature would send my body on the fritz, but it was perfect! When I left, my shoulders were down, my jaw was unclenched, and I had a perfect 4 hour nap! I’m recommending for everyone who I know that’s coming to Reykjavik and of course I’ll be back in the near future.

I feel as though I have had a real Reykjavík experience by going to this swimming pool. Tomorrow we are going to the Blue Lagoon at great expense and I do wonder how it will compare. The member of staff at the desk is clearly used to foreigners and explained all the rules to do with showering to us with a smile. By being so strict about cleanliness Icelanders have pools with very limited chemicals and I really appreciated this during my swim. My daughter and I swam lengths in the very quiet 25 metre pool before moving on to some serious lolling around in various hot pots. The 42+ degrees hot pot was seriously hot whilst the very shallow 8 - 12 degrees hot pot left our legs feeling numb. As a swimming/spaing/relaxing experience this was vastly superior to anything you will find in the UK so lose your inhibitions and strip off in the showers, it will be well worth it.

We visited here on a frigid -5 degree C February day. It was a true cultural experience with mainly local residents. We met several and had a nice conversation. The outside has two older hot pots, at 39 and 42 degrees C. A newer area has a heated lap pool at 33C and two more hot tubs The one for children is less hot and a quite nice big area. There is also a steam room to get boiled in and a ice bath next to the steam room at 10 degrees C. We did not try the ice bath!! There is an indoor lap pool too--but everyone was outside surrounded by the City. Going from a hot pot to another or the steam room was incredibly brisk and incredibly fun. The men's locker room was great--a trip back in time, the woman's was newer. Both were spotlessly clean. The sauna was out of order. Staff was very helpful to first timers explaining the system to us and even calling a cab when we were done two hours later. The best surprise was that there is no admission charge for those 67 years old and older. In very expensive Reykjavik this was a treat. (We are late 60's) Towels cost about 6$ to rent, so bring your own from your hotel. We enjoyed this as much as we would have visiting a much more expensive tourist trap Lagoon of a certain color.This might be the favorite part of our entire trip, highly recommended.
