📖 Story
Hvammsvík opened in 2020 as a new seaside hot spring destination. Two geothermal pools (38-42°C) sit on the rocky shore with stunning Hvalfjörður views. A cold-water pool provides contrast. The location is spectacular — mountains rising from the fjord, ocean lapping at your feet. Restaurant serves local food. It's less developed than Krauma, maintains natural setting while offering quality facilities. Good midpoint between Reykjavík and Borgarfjörður attractions.
