Forest Bath Iceland
At the Forest Lagoon we believe that to create unique experiences every detail matters. With views overlooking one of Iceland's longest fjords, Eyjafjörður, the spa's unique location surrounded by birch and pine trees truly sets it apart. During the visit to the Forest Lagoon guests will experience the view, the tranquility and the energy of Vaðlaskógur, the forest that surrounds the baths.
The lagoon itself is gorgeous and has various baths, 2 hot plunges, one massive and one smaller but higher up for great pictures for the view of the snowy mountains and ocean. A sauna with an amazing view and a cold plunge of 12°. Brrrrrrrr The best time in my opinion to go is 10-11am if you want to get the sunrise and it not be busy at all! Iceland is well known for its geothermal activity and many hot springs, so much so that people have even made a pastime of it in the form of dipping and relaxing in natural geothermal hot pools.
One amazing hot spot (no pun intended), is the Forest Lagoon, located just outside Iceland's second-largest city, Akureyri. Experience the nature of North Iceland while relaxing when you visit Forest Lagoon. about this geothermal resort inside a forest here.
