In Iceland, the Blue Lagoon is a popular spot known for its milky, blue waters, but up north, the Mývatn Nature Baths offer a serene alternative. Located near Lake Mývatn and just a 1-hour drive from Akureyri, these natural hot springs provide a lagoon-like experience with mineral-rich waters heated by the Earth’s core.

Indulge in a relaxing soak in the alkaline bathing lagoon, which offers numerous health benefits for both body and mind. While you unwind, take in the stunning views of the surrounding natural landscape. For an added treat, there’s a steam bath on-site that harnesses natural geothermal steam through vents in the floor.
