Krauma Geothermal Baths
Krauma
A modern spa right beside Deildartunguhver that mixes hot spring water with glacier water, with five hot pools, a cold pool and saunas.
Krauma opened in 2017. It uses the very hot water from Deildartunguhver, mixed with ice-cold river water flowing from the Langjökull glacier to regulate the temperature, and no chemicals are added. The outdoor area has five hot pools at different temperatures, a cold plunge pool, two saunas and a relaxation lounge. From the pools you can see the valley and the steam rising from the hot spring. It is smaller than the Blue Lagoon, with fewer people and lower ticket prices. An on-site restaurant serves Icelandic cuisine made with local ingredients. It's best to book a time slot on the official website. Bring a swimsuit or rent one on site. Following Icelandic custom, you must shower naked before entering the pools.
