Plan a visit to Earth Lagoon Mývatn, formerly Mývatn Nature Baths, with verified details on geothermal facilities, tickets, massages and hours.
Earth Lagoon Mývatn, formerly Mývatn Nature Baths, is a geothermal bathing destination in North Iceland, at Jarðbaðshólar, 660 Mývatn. Its new facilities combine a lagoon, steam bathing, Earth Lagoon Bistro and massages, with several admission options distinguishing changing-room arrangements and extras. This Peters Signature guide is based on supplied official information checked on 10 October 2026, rather than a firsthand visit.
The name has changed, but travellers searching for Mývatn Nature Baths should now look for Earth Lagoon Mývatn when checking facilities and booking. The verified update confirms the new facilities; older renovation announcements in the supplied website text should not be treated as the current position.
Images also need context. A photograph dated 2008 shows the earlier Mývatn Nature Baths, not the new facilities. It should therefore be read as a historical view rather than a reliable illustration of today’s changing rooms or bathing layout.
Planning recommendation: Use the official Earth Lagoon website for current facility images and booking details, particularly if a specific changing-room arrangement matters to your visit.
The official site lists lagoon water temperatures of 36–40°C. Admission packages include access to the public lagoon, hot tub and steam bath. The steam bath is described as a swim-in cave, with geothermal steam entering through vents in the wall. Its warmth depends on weather conditions; the site lists an average temperature of 45°C rather than a guaranteed constant temperature.
Swim-up bars serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Earth Lagoon Bistro offers drinks and refreshments, with views of Lake Mývatn.
Massages are also listed among the new facilities. The supplied official text specifies four types, ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, but does not provide their names, prices or detailed descriptions.
Planning recommendation: If a massage is central to your visit, confirm the current menu, appointment availability and cost through the official site’s contact or booking options before buying admission. Do not assume a treatment is included in a lagoon ticket.
The verified adult starting price is 7,900 ISK. The official text says rates may vary with time of day and attendance, so advertised ranges are not a substitute for a dated booking quote.
The supplied text does not establish whether the Exclusive starting price is per person or per booking.
Planning recommendation: Compare privacy features, not just package names. Essential lists a private shower, whereas Signature does not. Confirm the total party price and occupancy conditions before selecting Exclusive.
The verified standard hours are daily, 12:00–22:00. The official site notes that hours may vary seasonally, so check your intended date before travelling.
The address is Jarðbaðshólar, 660 Mývatn. Earth Lagoon describes its location as beside Road no. 1, Iceland’s Ring Road. Its published distances include 58 km from Húsavík, 89 km from Akureyri and 164 km from Egilsstaðir.
The supplied rates list swimsuit rental at 1,100 ISK and towel rental at 1,200 ISK. Children aged five and younger receive free entry when accompanied by an adult. Gift cards and membership cards are available, although their detailed conditions are not supplied.
Planning recommendation: Recheck rental charges, admission conditions and opening hours through the official visitor information and contact links. Bringing your own swimsuit and towel can avoid relying on rentals; check whether your chosen package already includes a towel.
