At Vök Baths water is life
Iceland is famous for its geothermal activity. However, East Iceland is normally not associated with geothermal heat and considered a cold spot. This makes Vök Baths an even more unique attraction. Throughout the centuries, people living around Lake Urriðavatn noticed certain spots on the lake that curiously did not freeze during winter. The Icelandic name given to these ice-free patches is “Vök” (plural Vakir).
The warm water flowing from the ground at Urriðavatn lake is so pure that it is the only geothermal water in Iceland certified as drinkable. You can taste the water and refresh your body at our complimentary tea bar.
In-Water bar area
The in-water bar area can be reached from the pools. It offers you the chance to buy refreshing drinks and stay hydrated while enjoying the pools. You can find a variety of quality beers, good wine, and cold soft drinks as well as refreshing ice slush.
It’s very easy to buy refreshments at the in-water bar. When you check-in to Vök Baths you will receive a wrist band that you use to enter the facilities, lock your locker, and pay at the bar. Then just pay when you check-out of the facilities after you have enjoyed the baths.
Nourish your body at Vök Bistro
At Vök Bistro you will find a selection of hand-picked courses made with fresh, locally sourced, quality ingredients.
We highly recommend that you book a table in advance.
