Authentic Lakeside Geothermal Experience
Discover Laugarvatn Fontana Spa, where traditional Icelandic geothermal culture meets stunning lakeside beauty, offering authentic spa experiences with natural steam rooms, geothermal pools, and the unique tradition of underground rye bread baking.
Natural Steam Rooms and Geothermal Pools
Located on the shores of Lake Laugarvatn in the Golden Circle, Fontana represents over a century of authentic Icelandic bathing traditions. The spa features natural steam rooms built directly over hot springs, where geothermal steam rises from the earth, along with multiple pools at different temperatures fed by underground springs.
The Lakeside Contrast Bathing Experience
What makes Fontana truly special is the traditional contrast bathing ritual. Alternate between warm geothermal pools and the refreshing waters of Lake Laugarvatn, following centuries-old Icelandic wellness practices. Active geothermal features bubble up right at the lake’s edge, and the views across the water to the distant mountains are spectacular.
A Perfect Golden Circle Addition
Fontana is ideally positioned for combining with Geysir, Gullfoss waterfall, and Þingvellir National Park. We actually offer a fully guided tour to the Golden Circle and Fontana Spa. Don’t miss the optional rye bread tasting — bread baked underground using geothermal heat, a tradition unique to this area.
