Krossneslaug

Remote Hot Pool Overlooking the Arctic Ocean

Krossneslaug is one of Iceland’s most remote geothermal swimming pools, located at the edge of the tiny hamlet of Krossnes in the Strandir region of the Westfjords. Set just meters from the rocky coastline, this oceanside hot pool offers bathers sweeping views of the Arctic Ocean, steep cliffs, and drifting sea mist — creating one of the most surreal and peaceful soaking experiences in the country. The drive to reach Krossneslaug via Route 643 is long and rough, but the reward is a sense of complete isolation and immersion in wild Icelandic nature. The pool is geothermally heated, with basic changing facilities and a modest entrance fee in the summer. For travelers seeking solitude, scenic beauty, and a unique hot spring experience far from the crowds, Krossneslaug is an unforgettable stop.
