About
Krauma Geothermal Baths sit in West Iceland, close to Deildartunguhver, which is known as Europe's most powerful hot spring. The spa makes use of that naturally heated water, so a visit here is as much about the landscape and the geothermal setting as it is about soaking.
What to expect
Krauma is a spa built around the warm water that rises from the ground in this part of Iceland. Bathing in naturally heated water is a long-standing part of Icelandic life, and the baths give visitors a relaxed way to take part in it. Because the spring lies nearby, the setting feels closely tied to the land around it.
Why go
- A spa use of water from one of Europe's most powerful hot springs
- A quiet break from sightseeing, set in West Iceland's open countryside
- A natural pairing with other stops in the area, including the hot spring itself
If you are planning a route through West Iceland, Krauma makes a good stop between days of walking, driving and looking at the scenery. It suits visitors who want to slow down, warm up and see how the region's geothermal resources are put to use.
