  • Swimming Pools

    Iceland has huge deposits of free hot water. Therefore, heated pools are quite a common thing here. You can find them in almost every village and in a great many hotels.

    They may not be as romantic as wild mountain natural hot springs, but they are certainly very convenient. Well, and after all, it’s not every day that we can swim in a warm pool under the stars….

    In addition, pools in Iceland always offer well-maintained toilets and showers, which we can use at no extra charge.
