Geosea - Geothermal Sea Baths

GeoSea in Húsavík is a world-class geothermal bathing mecca and an experience that taps into the historical roots of a small fishing town in North Iceland that has harnessed the Earth’s geothermal waters for centuries. It is a rare union of mineral-rich seawater and heat from the Earth’s core. Perched along a western-facing cliffside that overlooks Skjálfandi Bay and the Arctic Circle to the north, our baths provide the ultimate vantage point for whale watchers and those seeking the northern lights. Reconnect, decompress, and uniquely enjoy Icelandic nature at GeoSea.

There is a long tradition of bathing in Iceland’s geothermal waters. Icelanders have met in hot pools throughout history to relax and relieve themselves of the day’s hard work. Since its opening, GeoSea has been popular among Icelanders and locals alike. In a way, our sea baths serve as a cultural center where locals come to discuss the day’s happenings – taking part in a custom ingrained in Iceland’s cultural fabric.

You can treat yourself to a refreshing soft drink or alcoholic beverage at our swim-up bar while relaxing in the warm water – a rare luxury in Iceland. We also have a unique dining area where you can enjoy refreshments in a cozy bathrobe.
