Take pleasure in the earth's natural heat.

Take part in a beloved Icelandic tradition in the unique and remote setting of the highlands. Our facilities include a trio of steaming pools, a sauna, a cold plunge pool, changing rooms, and underground passageways connecting to Highland Base Hotel.

After a day filled with outdoor adventures, nothing compares to relaxing and soaking in the warmth of our baths, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.

Opened in July 2023 and located in the Ásgarður Valley at the edge of Kerlingarfjöll, Highland Base is a sanctuary of warm comfort, hearty cooking, and geothermal swimming—a place to relax and recharge in the heart of a forbidding environment.

Optional activities to do while in the area:

• Lunch or dinner at Highland Base Restaurant. Join us at our 80-seat refuge of cosy warmth, savoury nourishment, and festive vibes. From coffee and waffles to bistro comfort food and buffet dining, we have something for every appetite.
• Hiking. A vast network of trails ranging from one kilometre to 50 kilometres creates exciting possibilities for hikes of all distances and difficulties, guided and unguided. The extraordinary world of Kerlingarfjöll is yours to discover. Explore the enchanting geothermal valleys in three hours or spend a day scaling Kerlingarfjöll’s highest peaks.
