Steam around an outdoor mud bath at Hveradalir

HVERADALIR MUD BATH

From the earth.
For your skin and senses.

Naturally warm water, mineral-rich volcanic mud, and a slower moment in Iceland’s geothermal landscape.

Volcanic mud bathing in an outdoor pot
VOLCANIC CLAY · NATURALLY WARM WATER

A NATURAL SKIN-CARE RITUAL

Warm water.
Volcanic mud.
Time for you.

The springs carry fine volcanic clay into our bathing pots. The mud settles beneath the water, ready to become part of a simple, mineral-rich bathing ritual.

Two pots contain geothermal mud; a third provides a clean hot-water soak.

A tradition rooted in the valley
