Secret Lagoon

The Secret Lagoon contains a large oval pool filled with mineral-rich water maintained at temperatures between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Established in 1891 as Iceland's first swimming facility, the pool served as the location for the country's inaugural swimming lessons in 1909 until 1947.

Local residents traditionally used this geothermal site not only for bathing but also as a communal space for laundry and legislative gatherings until 1894.

The facility provides separate changing rooms, showers, a small bistro for refreshments, and maintains different seasonal schedules with extended hours during summer months.

Multiple natural hot springs, including an active geyser called Litli Geysir, supply fresh water continuously to maintain the pool's temperature year-round.
