About
Hellulaug is a geothermal swimming pool in the Westfjords.
A geothermal hot spring in Westfjords. Natural heat from the earth creates a unique bathing experience.
Steam rises around you as you sink into naturally heated water. The contrast of warm water and cold air is pure Iceland.
Geothermal activity has heated these waters for centuries. Icelanders have been bathing in natural hot springs since the settlement age.
Natural hot springs vary in temperature - some spots are scalding, others barely warm. Test with your hand first, always.
