Popular online travel agency and hostel provider HostelBookers.com is encouraging people to book hostels in Iceland for the upcoming summer months and explore some of the greatest natural hot springs the country has to offer.
Hot springs in Iceland are known for their natural healing properties and relaxing warm waters. There are numerous hot springs worthy of visiting dotted across the country, especially the world famous Blue Lagoon, the Laugar Spa, Landmannalaugar Hot Springs, and the Ogmundarhraun Lava Field.
The Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa in Reykjavik is one of the most famous spas in the world – there’s even a range of beauty products developed from its water. The water temperature stays at between 37-39C, no matter what the weather. The lagoon’s 6-million litres of geothermal seawater is renewed every 40 hours by local sources, meaning there are no bacteria, and no cleaning is required. The water is heated by the earth’s natural forces and is filled with natural minerals, which gives it its healing powers.
