Ghosts, trolls and sorcerers To Icelanders the Strandir region is wrapped in an aura of mystery. According to lore it’s not only home to ghosts, elves and trolls, but many thought witchcraft was rampant here, used for both good and evil. Hotel Laugarholl is a peaceful and comfortable family-run country hotel located in the green and sparsely populated valley Bjarnarfjordur, perfectly situated for exploring the remote and beautiful wilderness of mysterious Strandir. We have single, double and triple rooms with private or shared facilities, a cosy living room with free internet access and a restaurant with special emphasis on fresh and tasty homemade local food as well as global cuisine. Next to the hotel you will find The Pool of Gvendur the good, a naturally warm geothermal outdoor swimming pool (32°C) and adjacent natural hot pool (42°C), perfect for relaxing after a long day on the road or hiking in the wilderness. The camping site is open from 1. June - 1. September From Reykjavik 258 km, from Stykkishólmur 190 km, from Ísafjörður 250 km, from Akureyri 360 km.

The swimming pool has a remarkable history. It was built in the 1940's as a joint effort by farmers from the area. There is a constant flow of hot spring water through the pool. Therefore, very little additives or cleaning agents are added to the water. The pool is open every day from 08:00 to 22:00.

The camping ground is open from May 1st - Sepember 30th. Opening hours   Weekdays 06:00 -22:00 Weekends: 10:00-18:00  

The swimming pool in Reykhólar is named Grettislaug named after Grettir the Strong.  Alongside the pool there is a campsite that is opened during summer.

The swimming pool in Laugarnes by Birkimelur is a beautifully placed small pool with stunning views over Breiðafjörður. You can either float around in the small concrete pool or lay down in a smaller pool closer to the shore.  A donations box is placed by the dressing rooms, the local youth club owns and looks after the pool.

Unlike many swimming pools in the region, Krossneslaug is heated by natural hot-springs; the rareness of such features in the Westfjords is due to the fact that this is the oldest part of the country, thus the least affected by the volcanic rift valley that runs through the centre of Iceland. At Krossneslaug, therefore, it is possible to embrace thisunique aspect of Icelandic culture and nature more authentically than you would at many other locations in the region.  It is considered an ‘Infinity Pool’ due to the fact it has magnificent views of the ocean, with nothing impeding the view between the two waters. Looking out towards north Iceland, this makes Krossneslaug a fantastic place to spot some of the country’s unique wildlife.  Whales are occasionally seen breaking the surface and raising their flukes, most commonly Humpback Whales, and the area is inhabited by many seabirds and seals. You also have a slight chance to see dolphins.  Located in the tiny settlement of Krossnes, Krossneslaug is a fair distance from any major civilisation. The nearest villages of significance, Hólmavík and Drangsnes, are both over 100 kilometres away, requiring more than two hours of driving. Árneshreppur is much closer, but a hamlet of just 53 people with few amenities.  

The swimming pool at Drangsnes is a very pleasant and comfortable outdoor pool. The pool was built in 2005 and is 12.5 meters long. Next to the pool there is a hot tub where you can switch on massages, one paddling pool and a steam room.  The view from the swimming pool is unique, where you can see Grímsey island in Steingrímsfjörður. It is the largest island on the Strandir and is a true nature treasure.

Tálknafjörður swimming pool has to offer many activities. There is an 25 meter outdoor pool, two hot tubs, sauna, cold tub, baby pool and waterslide. There is also a lift for disabled people to assist in entering and exiting the pool. In the building you can find a gym. Next to the swimming pool is the towns campsite, which is open from 1st of June – 1st of September. On the campsite you can find kitchen around the clock, outside barbecue, toilets and showers. There is also a washing machine and a dryer available for small price. Everybody is always welcome, there is coffee on the house.
