Find the Iceland Infinity Pool in the town of Hofsós
When planning your trip to Iceland, chances are high that you saw pictures of the Infinity pool in Hofsós, which offers a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic islands of Skagafjörður.

The pool was designed by Basalt Arkitektar and was completed in 2010. It has an open view of the ocean and the mountain range of Skagafjörður.
Maximized relaxation
Visitors can try a relaxing experience. Every night, from 22:00 – 1:00, the pool transforms into a temple of well-being. Subdued lighting. Lounge music. Relaxation is maximized. In summer, the setting is perfect to observe the midnight sun. In winter, the northern lights can show themselves. Guests get floating equipment created by the Icelandic designer Unnur Valdis. It allows the body to experience a deep state of relaxation. The benefits of floating are countless:
- Less muscle tension
- Pain relief
- Slower heart rate
- Heart rate drops
- Stimulated blood flow
- Release of endorphins
All you have to do is lie back and let go. Float, relax, enjoy…
