The Secret Lagoon is one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing places I’ve ever visited. The service is excellent, and the facility is clean, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. I highly recommend it.

A pleasant moment of relaxation, serenity, and calm—an experience we’ve enjoyed again, since we’d already been there on Thursday, May 28.
This Wednesday, June 3, the weather was mild; on Thursday, May 28, it was very cold, but in both cases, we had just as much fun.
A big thank you to the front desk staff, who were so kind and thoughtful.
We’ll recommend you to all our friends and family, and maybe we’ll see you soon!

We loved everything there, just a little bit disappointed about the towels. We didn't know they are not included. The website should say.
Everywhere else we have been, they are included.
Relax in the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest natural hot spring, with consistently warm geothermal waters year-round.
Witness erupting geysers such as Vaðmálahver, Básahver, and Litli Geysir, which put on a natural show every few minutes.
Enjoy the soothing benefits of mineral-rich geothermal waters sourced directly from nearby hot springs.
Stroll along the wooden pathway of Hveraholmi, where steam rises from active hot springs nestled among lush green pastures.
