Lýsulaugar

Extraordinary geothermal algae bath in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Schoolswimming has started again!

In the last week of August, it can hapen, that the school needs the big swimmingpool for swimminglessons, when that happens, the big pool is closed for public, but the Hot Tubs and the Cold Tub are still open for public:)

A visit to Lýsulaugar is a unique and authentic experience

The water is filled with naturally hot mineral water, rich in green algae and various minerals, and has a soothing and healing effect on the body.

The chlorella algae makes the water green and no chemicals, such as chlorine, are added to the water.

It’s perfectly natural and good for you.

Our special water

Some studies have shown that treatment using Chlorella can help with the effects of scars on the skin.

It may also help improve skin problems that occur due to the formulation of new blood vessels, including psoriasis, rosacea and general redness. The antioxidants in chlorella may protect skin cells from accelerated aging brought on by skin-damaging free radicals and sun damage.

Micronized chlorella has the extraordinary ability to stimulate the body’s own healing and detox powers.










Lovely swim, friendly service, incredible backdrop and 3 kinds of tubs to immerse oneself in – one is cold!

One of the loveliest hot spring places in all Iceland. The location is incredible, the views from the main pool are ideal and the water is fantastic. We couldn’t believe it was so cheap.
Alejandro Sánchez Durán
Incredible swimming pool in a great scenery. The water filled with minerals and the micro algae really makes your skin feel soft.
There’s a main pool and 2 hot baths (~38°C and ~40° C). A bit more expensive than a conventional Icelandic swimming pool but definitely worth the price which is cheap for that kind of water.
Even the showers and locker room area are nice.

Great place to stop and relax in the water. Pool was nice, and there are 2 different hot tubs (different temperatures) as well as an ice bath. It was not crowded at all, in fact we were the only ones there when we first arrived. Great pit stop.
