Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Arctic Ocean, GeoSea in Húsavík, Iceland, offers an unparalleled experience of relaxation and natural beauty. Combining the soothing warmth of geothermal waters with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and surrounding mountains, GeoSea has quickly become a must-visit destination for travellers seeking tranquillity and a unique immersion into Iceland’s geothermal wonders.
Húsavík, a charming town on Iceland’s northern coast, has primarily been known as a hub for whale watching and its rich Viking history, and in modern times, a certain Eurovision movie featuring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, The Story Of Fire Saga. The area’s star, however, might be its abundance of geothermal energy.
The locals of Húsavík have known and used this geothermal activity for washing and cleaning for centuries, but its potential stretches beyond this. Wanting to offer up another experience to the locals and simultaneously bring more visitors to the shores, Geosea Iceland was officially established in 2018.
“In good weather conditions, you can see the Arctic Circle on the horizon as it runs through Grímsey Island, north of Husavik. And there is a specific feature to our baths cannot be found anywhere else in Iceland, namely the type of water,” says Ármann Örn Gunnlaugsson, CEO at Geosea Iceland. “While our baths are heated up by underground geothermal energy, we actually cool it down using seawater, so it’s a blend of geothermal water and seawater.”
The bathing experience at GeoSea is more than just the geothermal waters. The baths provide a holistic sense of well-being, combining the healing properties of mineral-rich water with a peaceful setting. “It’s a great activity for couples, friends, or families,” says Gunnlaugsson. “For those wanting a more private experience, we also offer the opportunity to book the entire bath for intimate events, small concerts, or bigger events.”
GeoSea in Húsavík represents the perfect fusion of Iceland’s natural geothermal wonders and stunning landscapes. Whether visiting for the mineral-rich seawater, the spectacular views, or simply to unwind in the peaceful surroundings, GeoSea offers an unforgettable experience that embodies the magic of Iceland’s unique connection with nature.
