Bakkaböðin geothermal hot tubs

- Geothermal baths

In the peaceful village of Kópasker you’ll find one of Icelands best-kept secrets; naturally heated hot tubs with stunning views over Öxarfjörður.

Bakkaböðin has an old fashioned feeling to it “Gamaldags”, where guests can soak and swim in the sea. From the tubs you can walk down to a beautiful sandy beach with black sand...where you can access the shallow sea for safe sea swimming.

Whether you’re ending a long day of exploring or simply seeking calm, Bakkaböðin offers the perfect escape. A community gem, the hot tubs are a favorite amongst locals and travellers alike.

Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that makes Kópasker special.

Bring your swimsuit and towel…the rest is pure relaxation.
