Mývatn Nature Baths (Earth Lagoon): North Iceland Geothermal Spa
Mývatn Nature Baths now trades as Earth Lagoon Mývatn. If an older itinerary or map uses the former name, check the current operator’s site before reserving: its packages and facilities have changed.
Choose the changing room before the extras
The published Earth Essential package includes the lagoon, hot tub, steam bath, lockers and a private shower. Earth Signature adds a towel and drink, but the operator explicitly says its Lava changing rooms do not offer private showers. A higher ticket price therefore does not automatically buy more shower privacy.
Essential is listed at 7,900–11,900 ISK and Signature at 9,900–15,900 ISK, checked September 10, 2026. Prices vary by slot. The site also contains older promotional price panels, so use the total for your chosen package in the booking system. Children five and younger enter free with an adult; check the appropriate ticket for older children.
Plan around the booked visit
The current September schedule is daily 12:00–22:00. Confirm your date’s hours before driving over, especially if the bath is your last stop of the day. Bring a swimsuit and check whether your package includes a towel.
For a Ring Road itinerary, decide whether the Mývatn stop fits your existing route before comparing spa prices. A cheaper-looking headline elsewhere can lose its value once you add an extra drive or pay for omitted items. Compare the same party size, date and inclusions.
The operator advertises a swim-in steam cave among the new facilities. Follow the instructions at the pools and steam area, and leave time for changing as well as bathing. Do not rely on older descriptions promising a quiet walk-in visit.

Questions before you go
Quick answers with safety notes where it matters.
Are Mývatn Nature Baths and Earth Lagoon the same place?
Yes. The operator now uses Earth Lagoon Mývatn and identifies it as formerly Mývatn Nature Baths. Use the current Earth Lagoon booking site for the visit.
How much does Earth Lagoon cost?
The operator’s named Earth Essential package lists 7,900–11,900 ISK, depending on the time and attendance, checked September 10, 2026. Confirm your selected slot’s total before paying.
Are children free?
The operator lists free admission for children aged five and younger when accompanied by an adult. Do not use the old under-12-free rule.
Does a more expensive ticket include a private shower?
Not necessarily. The published Essential package has a private shower, while Signature explicitly does not. Compare the changing-room description as well as included towels and drinks.
