Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths has had a recent refurbishment to enhance the spa experience with contemporary comforts. Conveniently located on Iceland’s famous Golden Circle route, the baths are a great way to slow down and enjoy the serenity of the landscape; guests are invited to soak in natural pools, bubbling hot springs, and a lake that stretches as far as the eye can see. A particular highlight is trying the region’s traditional geothermal bread, which is baked in the hot ground here. For more information, please visit https://www.fontana.is/
