Tucked away in the town of Akranes is a three-tiered hot pool that has stunning oceanfront views. What’s even more incredible is that it’s free to use! At the very top, there is a viewing deck where you can see the Faxaflói and Reykjanes Bay. On a clear day, you can even see all the way to Reykjavík.

I love that the three floors are connected via staircase, so you can effortlessly flow from one tier to the next to take in different views. At the very botoom is a wading pool at beach level. If you feel up to it, you can jump out and get into the sea! Just know that the sea water will be chilly.

There is a storage room with showers available for people to use. The pool is open throughout the year, so add this to your stop as you explore west Iceland.
