Silica Hotel, Luxury hotel near Blue Lagoon in Grindavík, Iceland.
Silica Hotel is a lodging facility on the Reykjanes Peninsula with 35 rooms that feature large windows and verandas overlooking the mineral-rich geothermal waters and volcanic terrain. The rooms are positioned to give guests views of the natural surroundings directly from their private areas.
The hotel was built as an expansion of the Blue Lagoon complex on the Reykjanes Peninsula, an area where geothermal seawater rises through porous lava formations. Its location takes advantage of this natural geothermal activity that made the site suitable for development.
The building reflects Icelandic design traditions by using natural materials and connecting interior spaces with the volcanic landscape outside. Visitors experience this connection in every room and can observe the terrain from multiple vantage points.
All guests receive complimentary access to Blue Lagoon and can use private pools filled with mineral water. Breakfast is included in room rates, and wooden pathways connect different pools and viewpoints throughout the property.
The building sits directly on ancient lava flows that shape the landscape and remain visible across the property. The wooden walkways allow visitors to observe these geological formations and layers up close during their stay.

A list of unique natural swimming pools and basins has been compiled. Some are bold architectural constructions, others are the result of geological phenomena. Some are located in luxury hotels, others are accessible to the public. What makes these sites particularly interesting is their diversity: there are pools hanging at several hundred meters altitude overlooking cities, geothermal basins fed directly by volcanic activity, a 40-meter deep diving pool in Italy, and even a natural basin formed in rock on a Greek island. There are also recent installations that push engineering boundaries as well as historic sites used for nearly a century. Whether you seek relaxation in thermal waters or swimming with panoramic views, this selection provides a good overview of what exists.
