Pure, Salty and Good

At Hvammsvík Hot Springs you are immersed in a perfect fusion of geothermal water, flowing from our very own source 1400 meters underground, with seawater straight from the Atlantic ocean. The steady stream of this unique blend of water, between pools, over their edges and back into the ocean, ensures optimum water quality and cleanliness.

After a soak in the Hot Springs we recommend you try some delicious, light dishes inspired by our surroundings at our bistro. The seafood soup is a favorite or our infamous algae/ginger shot!

Come immerse yourself in unfiltered Icelandic nature, only 45 minutes from Reykjavík city center.

In harmony with nature

Our aim at Hvammsvik Hot Springs is to give our guests an authentic Icelandic nature experience. The area is rich in local wildlife, with over 30 different types of birds that reside in and around Hvammsvik. Wild sheep roam around in the summer and if lucky you might spot an Arctic Fox. Legend has it that numerous elves call the rocks and hills of the nature resort their home.

Hvammsvík has its share of spectacular northern lights. Best time to witness the aurora borealis is from October through April.

A place in History

Hvammsvík is a historical landmark that was first discovered by the Vikings 1000 years ago as recorded in Landnáma, the Icelandic book of settlers dating back to the 11th century. No wonder they chose Hvammsvík given its incredible landscape, natural harbor, geothermal heat and wildlife.
