Sky Lagoon combines geothermal bathing, dramatic ocean views and Icelandic bathing traditions in a modern oceanside setting.
Step into warm water maintained at approximately 38-40°C (100-104°F) and take in panoramic views from the lagoon’s 70-metre infinity edge. Weather conditions can cause slight changes in water temperature.
Lava-inspired surroundings, turf-house architecture and expansive North Atlantic views give Sky Lagoon an atmosphere that feels closely connected to the Icelandic landscape.
The signature Skjól Ritual is included with both Saman and Sér admission. It takes you through seven experiences inspired by Icelandic bathing culture:
After completing the ritual, return to the lagoon and continue relaxing at your own pace.

Driving is one of the easiest options. On-site parking is free and has no time limit.
A taxi from central Reykjavík provides a convenient direct journey.
Admission can also be booked with a Reykjavík transfer for an additional charge.

Most visitors spend around 2-2.5 hours at Sky Lagoon. This gives you enough time to enjoy the lagoon, complete the Skjól Ritual and change without rushing.
Every part of the day offers a different atmosphere. Morning visits can feel quieter and more peaceful, while later sessions offer changing skies and dramatic ocean views.

Visitors often highlight the peaceful atmosphere, ocean views, warm geothermal water, and the seven-step Skjól Ritual as the most memorable parts of their Sky Lagoon experience.
“The setting was absolutely beautiful, especially the infinity edge overlooking the ocean. I loved moving between the warm lagoon and the different stages of the ritual. The sauna view was one of the highlights for me. I would definitely make time for the full experience rather than rushing through it.”
“Sky Lagoon was one of the most relaxing stops during our trip to Iceland. Everything felt calm and well organized from the moment we arrived. The cold plunge was challenging, but it made the warm lagoon feel even better afterward. We stayed for more than two hours and could easily have stayed longer.”
“I booked the Sér option because I wanted a little more privacy, and I was very happy with the choice. The private changing facilities made the experience feel more comfortable and premium. The lagoon itself was warm, spacious, and incredibly scenic. The Skjól Ritual added much more variety than I expected.”
“The ocean views are what made this place special for me. Floating in the warm water while looking out over the North Atlantic felt very different from a typical spa. I especially enjoyed the sauna and steam stages of the ritual. Booking ahead also made the visit straightforward and stress-free.”
“I visited in the evening and really enjoyed the changing light over the water. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, even though there were other visitors around. My favorite part was the combination of the cold plunge, sauna, and warm lagoon. I would recommend allowing at least a couple of hours so you can enjoy everything properly.”
“I chose the Saman Pass and felt it included everything I needed for a great visit. The changing facilities were easy to use, and having the towel included was convenient. The seven-step ritual was much more memorable than I expected, especially the scrub and steam room. It was a great way to unwind after a busy few days of sightseeing.”
