Forest Lagoon
Skógarböðin
A new geothermal spa that opened in 2022, nestled in a pine forest on the east shore of Eyjafjörður, with two infinity pools facing Akureyri and the snowy mountains.
Forest Lagoon is located in woodland on the slopes of Vaðlaheiði, on the east side of Eyjafjörður. It uses hot water discovered during tunnel construction. The water is about 37 to 41°C. The two infinity pools, poolside bar, and sauna are decorated with wood and stone, and they overlook Akureyri across the fjord. Adult tickets cost about 7,000 to 9,000 ISK, and time slots must be booked on the official website. It is about 4 km from the city center, about 5 minutes by car or taxi.
