Pro tips to help you make a pick

Krauma is a small and intimate spa, so tickets are limited and can sell out, especially during peak seasons. Booking online 1-2 weeks in advance ensures entry on your preferred day.

Krauma is open year-round, and each season offers a unique experience. Winter visits offer a magical contrast between hot, steamy pools and snowy landscapes, while summer allows for longer daylight hours to enjoy the scenery.

Swimwear is required, and towels, bathrobes, and slippers can be rented if you don’t bring your own. Entering the pools in streetwear or sportswear is strictly prohibited.

Children are allowed but must be accompanied by an adult. Saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools are restricted to those 14 years and older due to safety concerns.

You can enhance your trip by visiting Deildartunguhver hot spring, Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, and the Víðgelmir lava cave, all located nearby for a full day of exploration.

Did you know?

Krauma baths are fed directly by Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, which releases 180 liters of boiling water per second—more than any other hot spring in Europe.

While many geothermal spas are far from their water source, at Krauma, you can actually see the steam rising from Deildartunguhver while soaking in the pools.

The word 'Krauma' in Icelandic translates to 'simmer' or 'boil,' perfectly capturing the essence of its constantly steaming, bubbling geothermal waters.

Standing near Deildartunguhver, visitors often hear a low, rumbling sound coming from beneath the ground. This is caused by the intense geothermal pressure and constant movement of steam and boiling water underground.

Why visit Krauma Geothermal Baths?

Pure, untreated geothermal water

Unlike many spas, the water in Krauma's geothermal pools is 100% natural—sourced from Deildartunguhver and cooled with glacial meltwater without any added chemicals. It's one of the purest bathing experiences in Iceland.

Relaxation beyond the baths

Along with the geothermal pools, Krauma features an infrared sauna, steam room, and a cozy relaxation lounge with a fireplace—perfect for unwinding between soaks. An on-site restaurant also serves delicious Icelandic cuisine.

A quieter, more intimate atmosphere

Krauma offers a peaceful alternative to crowded spas like the Blue Lagoon. With fewer visitors, you can relax and soak in nature without being surrounded by crowds.

Different seasonal experiences

Each season brings something special to Krauma. In winter, you can soak under the Northern Lights or enjoy a candlelit evening bath. Summer offers long daylight hours and lush green landscapes. No matter when you visit, the ever-changing scenery enhances the relaxing geothermal experience.

A great stop on a West Iceland road trip

Located near Borgarnes and Reykholt, Krauma is the perfect stop when exploring West Iceland, whether you're heading to waterfalls, lava caves, or the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
