GeoSea Baths – Húsavík, North Iceland
About GeoSea
GeoSea is a unique geothermal bathing experience rooted in the rich history of the fishing town of Húsavík, North Iceland. Icelandic bathing culture has long been a place for relaxation and social connection. Located on the western edge of a cliff overlooking Skjálfandi Bay and the Arctic Circle, GeoSea offers breathtaking views and a chance to unwind in mineral-rich seawater.
The baths were established after locals discovered the geothermal water was too saline for heating homes. Rather than letting it go to waste, they created this remarkable spa experience.
