Vök Baths Admission Ticket
Discover the unique geothermal wonder of Vök Baths, a hidden gem in East Iceland. Unlike the country’s well-known hot spots, this region was long considered cold—until locals noticed certain areas of Lake Urriðavatn never froze, even in winter. These ice-free patches, known as Vök, revealed the presence of naturally warm, mineral-rich water flowing from beneath the lake.
Today, Vök Baths offers an unparalleled experience, featuring floating geothermal pools, a sauna, a cold-water spray tunnel, and an in-water pool bar. What makes this destination truly special is its pristine geothermal water—certified as Iceland’s only drinkable hot spring water. Enjoy a taste of this pure refreshment at our complimentary tea bar as you soak in the breathtaking lake views.
Relax, rejuvenate, and experience the magic of Iceland’s natural warmth at Vök Baths.
Enjoy a drink without ever leaving the warmth of the pools at Vök Baths’ in-water bar. Whether you’re in the mood for a quality beer, a glass of fine wine, a cold soft drink, or a refreshing ice slush, you can sip and soak in the breathtaking surroundings.
Purchasing drinks is simple and hassle-free. Upon check-in, you’ll receive a wristband that grants access to the facilities, secures your locker, and allows you to make purchases at the bar. Simply settle your bill at check-out and enjoy a seamless, relaxing experience.
