Itinerary

Your Vök Baths admission is valid all day. The floating geothermal pools are built on Lake Urriðavatn in East Iceland, making them the only baths of their kind in Iceland. Three admission options are available when booking.

Vök takes its name from the Icelandic word for an opening in lake ice. People living around Lake Urriðavatn noticed that some areas remained unfrozen during winter. Underwater hot springs created these openings, and their shapes later inspired the design of the floating pools.

Every admission includes access to the geothermal pools, steam bath, cold plunge, and wild lake. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel are provided in the showers. Lockers are also available for clothes and valuables, while local herbal tea is included at the tea bar.

Relax provides these shared facilities and amenities. Enjoy adds a towel, while Indulge includes a towel and 1 drink. Drink exclusions apply.

The tea bar also serves a selection of foraged teas and herbal drinks made with purified water from Lake Urriðavatn. The café and restaurant serve soups, salads, cakes, and homemade bread prepared with ingredients from the area. Vökvi and Vaka are two craft beers developed with a local microbrewery and made with geothermal water from the lake.
