North Iceland Lagoons

Geothermal Vacation Destinations Open In Akurekyi, North Iceland

For those wanting a healing and peaceful adventure, North Iceland geothermal vacations are an ideal way to relax. The new Forest Lagoon spa resort is a few miles from Akurekyi with waters flowing from the nearby mountain. The entire Forest Lagoon complex is an expansive 1,300 square meters with all the modern amenities including infinity pools, a sauna, a cold tub, swim-up bars, and a restaurant. Scenic road trips and tours along the Arctic coast give a remarkable perspective on North Iceland, and a visit to the botanical gardens with various plant species in Akureyri is another sight to consider.

An hour east of Akurekyi is another geothermal tourism spot called the Mývatn Nature Baths consisting of outdoor pools with blue mineral-rich water heated from hot springs. Two additional steam baths sit directly above the geothermal waters, and the resort has a separate pool for children and a restaurant.

Several other destinations offer stays near the geothermal spots, including various hotels in Akurekyi and a new cottage with jacuzzi that provides a view of the North Iceland landscape. The nearby waterfalls and underground caves are other fun destinations. Located eight miles from Akurekyi is the North-Inn Guesthouse and Cabin near Lake Mývatn -- an ideal area for walks among the geological sights and dips in the baths. Cabins come with a jacuzzi and provide for whale watching in Husavik, known as Europe's whale-watching capital. Topping it off is the northern lights in the winter. All of this makes for unique vacation opportunities with the recent addition of the Forest Lagoon geothermal resort.
