Immerse yourself in Icelandic nature, tranquility, and well-being at the Forest Lagoon (Skógarböðin). Nestled in the heart of Vaðlaskógur forest and overlooking Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland’s longest and most beautiful fjords, this geothermal spa offers a rare blend of serenity, nature, and modern comfort. Surrounded by birch and pine trees, guests are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the calming energy of the forest.
The spa features two naturally heated geothermal pools kept at a soothing 37°C (98.6°F), complete with three swim-up bars and a convenient indoor entrance. Enhance your visit by enjoying the Finnish-style dry sauna with panoramic mountain views, and experience the invigorating benefits of hot and cold contrast bathing by stepping into the 11°C (51.8°F) cold plunge pool. Complete your visit at the Forest Bistro, a beautiful wood-clad dining space with striking fjord views and a cozy indoor fireplace.
