Mývatn Nature Baths, Northern Iceland

3.7 (3 reviews)

Overview

Although Iceland's Blue Lagoon draws the crowds for its milky, blue hue, the popular thermal spa has a rival in the north: Mývatn Nature Baths. Set near Lake Mývatn and about a 1-hour drive from Akureyri, these natural hot springs feature a lagoon-like atmosphere with healing, mineral-rich waters heated by the Earth's core.

Take a relaxing bath in the alkaline bathing lagoon, which is great for your body and your mind. As you soak, you can enjoy the views of the area's surrounding natural beauty. If you like, there's also a steam bath on the premises that lets natural geothermal steam in through vents on the floor.
