The Secret Lagoon, or "Gamla Laugin" in Icelandic, is one of Iceland’s oldest and most charming geothermal pools, located in the small village of Flúðir in the Golden Circle area. Dating back to 1891, the Secret Lagoon offers a more authentic and rustic experience compared to some of the more commercialized hot springs in Iceland. The pool is fed by natural hot springs, with water temperatures averaging around 38-40°C (100-104°F), providing a perfect spot for relaxation in a serene and natural setting.
Surrounded by lush green landscapes and steaming geothermal features, including a small geyser that erupts every few minutes, the Secret Lagoon offers visitors a peaceful and rejuvenating escape. The pool’s natural surroundings have been preserved, allowing bathers to enjoy the simple pleasures of soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters while taking in the beauty of Iceland’s countryside.
The Secret Lagoon is a popular stop for those exploring the Golden Circle, providing a tranquil retreat where you can unwind after a day of sightseeing. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a taste of Iceland’s geothermal wonders, the Secret Lagoon offers an unforgettable experience.
