Additional Information

Vök Baths, a geothermal haven, is situated on the picturesque Lake Urriðavatn in East Iceland. Just 5-kilometres northwest from Egilsstaðir, the primary settlement in the region, is an unmissable destination on a tour to this area.

Using the geothermal energy of the location, Vök Baths presents an extraordinary bathing retreat with breathtaking views of the lake and its surroundings. Submerge yourself in the distinct and pristine Icelandic landscape and become part of nature in the country’s inaugural series of geothermal floating pools.

Distinct from any other thermal spring destination in Iceland, the hot water is of such excellent quality that it’s certified as drinkable. East Iceland has relatively fewer hot springs compared to the rest of the country, making Vök Baths a must-see attraction! Spend a day of indulgence at this picturesque spot—Vök Baths in Egilsstadir. Ensure your entry and avoid long queues by pre-booking your admission.

Great day - Incredible experience. We decided to go here instead of the Blue Lagoon because we heard several unpleasant things from the locals about it. Loved being able toto go from the hot baths to the freezing lake! That is optional of course but amazing! Also loved being able to stay as long as we wanted. The tour offered by our cruise ship was very expensive and only allowed an hour at the baths. Be sure to book a taxi service ahead of time if you are going from the cruise port. The Vok baths website has info on the taxis.

Relaxing Soak in a Peaceful Setting - Beautiful setting and, unlike the Blue Lagoon, you can get your hair wet. Birds all around, we even saw a loon. I also enjoyed jumping in the cold lake after warming up in the hottest of the pools. I do wish they had a bathing suit spinner, that was the only negative in my opinion (my husband wanted a better beer selection)

We love - Icelandic baths are always great. The infrastructure is superb and what a pleasure to be in swimming pools at 40 degrees outside. Access to the lake and water at a few degrees...good for revitalizing...for a few seconds. Steam bath, bar accessible from the pools, tea offered at the exit.

Magical! - We had already visited the Blue Lagoon on our arrival into Iceland which was an amazing experience. But we absolutely loved Vok Baths. What made it so special I think was not only the 3 different pools at different temperatures but the infinity pool. We were enjoying the gorgeous warm water, on the very edge of the frozen lake, with a glass of wine while it was snowing! It was absolutely magical. Well organised, staff were welcoming and lovely facilities. If I lived there I would be going every day!!

Crowded/not very relaxing but nice pools - The pools themselves were really nice and the temperatures were good. Smoothies at the walk up bar were also good! That said, not very relaxing because there were a bunch of children running around screaming and cannonballing into the lake and the lower pools, just being overall disruptive. I probably would go to a different place if I ever came back to Iceland to ensure I could actually relax and enjoy it.

Public bath / public pool environment - Seemed enjoyable for most and a thrill for first timers to Iceland. Social and touristy in place of relaxing or meditative. Lots of children. Weak steam room. Excessive charges to rent a towel.

Lovely location, mediocre baths - Went with friends and we were all disappointed at the tepid hot pool. Facility is fresh and clean with helpful staff. Locker was problematic but included in admission. Good showers and soap. Close to highway 1 and right on a beautiful lake. The dare was to dip in the lake (10 degrees C).

Showering naked - As a local Icelander I never enter a public bath or a pool without showering naked and washing myself with soap. This is mandatory and of course a basic hygiene process. Even though Wök bath are stylish the sight of number of tourists entering the baths without taking their swimwear of while showering meant I lost my appetite for Wök baths for good.

Overpriced - The best thing about the bath was the shower, the best thing about the restaurant was the fries. Poor hygiene. Not recommended
