Secret Lagoon natural hot springs are located in the small village called Fludir and are in the Golden Circle area. We have kept it natural and unique for our guests so they can get the true Icelandic feeling. The pool’s natural surroundings and steam rising into the air gives the place a magical feeling. The warm water stays at 38-40 Celsius all year. In the whole area there are several geothermal spots and a little Geysir which erupts every 5 minutes, showing off for the guests relaxing in the hot spring. During winter, Northern lights can often be seen in the area and what better way to experience the light show than relaxing in the warm water surrounded by the steam from the earth?

What To Expect
Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin
Originally built in 1891, the ‘Gamla Laugin’ as it eventually came to be known, was Iceland’s first swimming pool. For decades thereafter, Gamla Laugin was virtually abandoned until its present day owner decided to give it new life in 2005. By this time, the pool had long been forgotten and for a few years he used it as his own private heated swimming pool just for himself and a few friends, remaining a secret for several years. That is how The Secret Lagoon got its enigmatic name. A natural hot spring feeds the lagoon with 38-39°C water that bubbles up from deep within the earth at a rate of 10 litres per second, constantly replenishing itself so that there is a steady supply of fresh clean water in the pool at any given time. The Secret Lagoon offers brand new facilities next the hot spring area in Fludir. Facilities available: changing rooms, showers, resting rooms, bar and restaurant area. With the completion of changing rooms, showering facilities, outside deck, walkways and a small café, The Secret Lagoon quietly opened in the summer of 2014.

4.00This is a smaller, out of the way lagoon. The atmosphere and surroundings are wonderful. Not necessarily calming and relaxing at all times. When big groups come through can feel crowded. Shower space very small.
Very enjoyable geothermal swim

5.00I had never used this app before but it worked great! The activity website kept adding an extra person to our order, and this app was half the price.

5.00A beautiful experience. The lagoon has 3 pools: 1 large warm pool, 1 small warm pool with a hot tub, and 1 small cold pool. The environment is very relaxing, welcoming, and very clean. Highly recommended, not to be missed if you are in the area.
Wonderful.

5.00We bought the tickets directly at the ticket office at 6:45 PM, with a recommended stay of an hour and a half (they close at 8 PM anyway). Cost: 9520 ISK (about €66, 2 adults and 2 children), you can add towels for the price of 1200 ISK (€8), or bring your own. Wonderful experience at this natural hot spring, which boasts the title of the oldest geothermal pool in Iceland. Very few people, hot showers, lockers with keys attached to a bracelet, hair dryers (with a somewhat cold air flow honestly), a sort of "centrifuge" to dry swimsuits, floating tubes, and mats available for guests. There are 3 pools: the main one at 40°, a smaller one at 38°, and a circular pool at 6°. Before entering the changing rooms, you will be shown an explanatory video, which also reminds you that taking a shower without a swimsuit before entering the water is mandatory.
Great secret location.

5.00It really is a 'secret' , we almost missed it. Glad we did find it, wonderful heated pool and cold plunge pool in an isolated and private environment.
No so secret.

5.00Great facilities! The bathing suit spin/dryer is amazing for travelers. Not overly crowded but clearly no longer a secret. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a stop.
This is a very relaxed...
