Three-tier geothermal infinity pool built into the seawall at Langisandur beach in Akranes, with ocean views and a natural warm-to-cool gradient.
About
Guðlaug is a geothermal bathing spot built into the rock breakwater at Langisandur beach in Akranes, on Iceland's west coast. Opened in December 2018 and designed by Basalt Architects, it lets bathers soak in warm geothermal water while looking out over the North Atlantic.
The three tiers
- Top level: a viewing platform overlooking the beach and bay.
- Middle level: the main hot soaking pool, with showers and equipment space.
- Bottom level: a shallow wading pool at beach level.
Untreated geothermal water feeds the upper pool and overflows down to the cooler lower pool, creating a natural temperature gradient between the tiers. Stairs connect the levels to the surrounding banks and the beach.
