Laugarfell

$$ | Iceland Fodor's Choice

This spot is the perfect base for several excellent hiking trails, including the top-notch Waterfall Circle, plus there are two tempting stone pools filled with hot spring water. While the natural pools are the main attraction, the location offers an upgrade on its former hostel accommodation with twin, double, and family rooms, each dedicated to a local nature spot or attraction. There is a view-blessed lounge and dining area where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served. You don't need to be a guest to access the pools: day visitors pay a fee of ISK 2,700 per person. Note that you don't require a 4WD vehicle to reach Laugarfell in summer (it's just 2 km [just over a mile) off the paved Route 910).
