12 Historic European Spas and Bathhouses for a Wellness Getaway | Condé Nast Traveler

"Providing all-day amusement and relaxation in the form of a capacious milky—and mineral-rich— blue lagoon (about 100 degrees Fahrenheit), steam baths, and a swim-up bar serving both hard and soft drinks, this bathhouse is popular among visitors and locals alike. Located less than 300 miles from Reykjavík , Mývatn is a worthy stop and stayover on the Iceland trail, and the geothermal baths of Mývatn, a designated nature reserve, provides a deeply edifying respite from some of the country’s more active pursuits. Although you’re unlikely to be surprised by the stunning Northern Icelandic scenery at this point, the peaceful, pleasant surroundings with views for days doesn’t hurt." - Stacey Lastoe

Iceland Itineraries: From 1 Weekend to 1 Month (Updated 2025)

"I soaked at the Mývatn Nature Baths where the silica‑rich water (37–39°C / 98–102°F) creates a quiet, milky blue pool that felt much more relaxed and budget‑friendly compared with the Blue Lagoon (admission listed as 6,490 ISK)." - Matthew Kepnes

18 Ways To Save Money in Iceland (Updated 2025)

"I warn that facilities like the Mývatn Nature Baths can charge steep extras (towel fees are commonly around 500 ISK), so I always bring my own towel to avoid those costs." - Matthew Kepnes

What a beautiful hot springs. Definitely worth the stop. Excellent facilities and courteous staff. Amazing blue water that will soothe your body and soul. What makes this even better you dont have to deal with massive crowds. The water on the left side is definitely hotter but felt great.

Enjoyed our visit here. Not overly crowded. Quick walk from the parking area to get inside. Short walk from the changing rooms to get into the baths. We spent almost all of our time in the back right corner of the bath on the right. It was a nice warm area.

Very nice experience, friendly and helpful staff. Got there when they opened, and it filled up during the first hour, but would not say it was overcrowded at all. One can buy drinks at the pool, something we didn’t do. Three different pools with different temperatures. They are renovation and expanding at the moment, but we did not notice anything of it and it did not affect the experience. The restaurant was very busy when we left.

I would probably have rated this higher if I hadn't experienced how great the spa named Vök was. Because the contrast between the changing rooms between the two was impossible to ignore. Mud on the floor, no dry spaces, no private changing booths, and people everywhere. The smell of sulfur was tolerable and worth it for the color and experiance of the nature bath, and once in the water the place was spacious enough for relaxation. The surroundings are also very pretty. We were not bothered by the renovations at all and I do hope the new building will offer better changing rooms.

Enjoyed our trip to the Myvatn Nature Bath which is a mid-level nature bath. There are two large pools and two small pools and steam rooms. This is definitely good for families with kids. It's nice that they provide drinking water everywhere. You can also order drinks from the swim up bar.

The Blue lagoon in iceland was closed due to a volcanic eruption near by. And then we found Mývatn Nature Baths. Much cheaper and in a beautiful location. You get the same experience and not as much crowd. It is a fantastic experience of geothermal spa. There are two big pools and the views from the pools are pretty cool. We did not need to pre-book. We loved our experience here.

I really enjoyed the experience, it is not so cheap for 4 hours only but the organisation of the place is perfect, with different types of baths and well-furnished bar. Towels are not included but all shower products are. The staff was friendly and helpful.

It felt more natural than the other more expensive hot springs. The price is lower as well. The water temperature could be a bit warmer though. All in all great place to visit.
