Fed by Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, Krauma blends naturally hot water with cool glacial melt for a perfectly balanced soak in the quiet west.

What to expect

Several warm pools, a cold tub for contrast, steam and a relaxation room with a fireplace. A calm, design led spa rather than a wild spring.

Getting there

About 1h30 from Reykjavík in Reykholtsdalur, west Iceland, beside the steaming Deildartunguhver.

Best time to visit

Year round; a lovely pairing with the waterfalls and lava caves of the west.
