Bathing Lagoon

The heart of Earth Lagoon is its open-air geothermal pool, where warm, milky-blue water invites you to slow down and soak in the moment. Heated naturally from deep beneath the ground, the water stays at a comfortable 36–40°C (97–104°F) year-round.

The lagoon is designed for comfort, with a soft gravel-and-sand bottom and plenty of space to unwind. The water is rich in natural minerals and naturally resistant to bacteria, so it stays clean without the use of harsh chemicals.

Because the geothermal water contains sulfur, it is best to remove jewelry before entering the lagoon and store it safely in your locker.

Steam Baths

Earth Lagoon also features natural steam baths, where steam rises gently through the floor. The experience is completely natural, and conditions can vary slightly depending on the weather. The temperature is usually around 45°C (113°F), with humidity levels close to 100%.

Additional information

If you prefer to travel light, swimsuits and towels are available to rent on site. Swimsuit rental costs 1,100 ISK and towel rental costs 1,200 ISK.

All children are welcome. There is no entrance fee for children 5 years and younger.

Guests can stay at the baths until 20 minutes before closing time.
We always recommend booking in advance to secure a spot, and we can always change the time or date if needed.
