Traveling during winter to Iceland may seem counterintuitive. But one dip in the country’s famed thermal pools and it’s clear why this Nordic country is one of the warmest winter destinations to visit. The country’s unique spa and bath culture, experienced against a backdrop of snow and ice, is like nothing else on Earth.

Public bathing is core to Icelandic culture, dating back to its original settlement, and remains integral today. These days, locals value their geothermal pools not only for their health benefits, but also for the natural energy they provide their country.

Experience the healing waters of Iceland for yourself on a trip courtesy of Iceland Naturally. Visit the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa in addition to dozens of other communal pools worth exploring. Consider Krauma, renowned for its year-round perfect temperatures, the Vök Baths, where a series of floating pools are situated in the lake, or the Kvika Foot Bath: a miniature pool and art installation located right in Reykjavik.
