Vök Baths
Iceland’s only floating infinity pools! Experience the age-old Icelandic tradition of bathing in a natural geothermal pool.
Iceland is famous for its geothermal activity. However, East Iceland is normally not associated with geothermal heat and considered a cold spot. This makes Vök Baths an even more unique attraction. Throughout the centuries, people living around Lake Urriðavatn noticed certain spots on the lake that curiously did not freeze during winter. The Icelandic name given to these ice-free patches is "Vök" Quench your thirst and stay hydrated: The in-water bar area can be reached from the pools. It offers you the chance to buy refreshing drinks and stay hydrated while enjoying the pools. You can find a variety of quality beers, good wine, and cold soft drinks, as well as refreshing ice slush. It's very easy to buy refreshments at the in-water bar. When you check in to Vök Baths you will receive a wristband that you use to enter the facilities, lock your locker, and pay at the bar. Then just pay when you check out of the facilities after you have enjoyed the baths.
The warm water flowing from the ground at Urriðavatn Lake is so pure that it is the only geothermal water in Iceland certified as drinkable. You can taste the water and refresh your body at our complimentary tea bar.
Nourish your body with local delicacies: At Vök Bistro you will find a selection of hand-picked courses made with fresh, locally sourced, quality ingredients. It is highly recommend that you book a table in advance.
