Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Krauma Spa in Reykholt in the Vesturland region of Iceland is fed by Deildartunguhver — the highest-flow hot spring in Europe, producing 180 litres of boiling water per second at 100°C from a fissure in the volcanic landscape of the Reykholtsdalur valley — making Krauma's thermal supply the most geothermally powerful of any spa in the world by volume. The siliceous spring water is cooled and blended with cold spring water from the Rauðsgil glacier spring before filling six beautifully designed bathing pools of varying temperatures, plus a cold pool and steam room. The modern Scandinavian-influenced design of Krauma integrates naturally with the pastoral Icelandic landscape of the Dalir valley, and the proximity of the Snæfellsnes peninsula — with the glacier volcano of Snæfellsjökull immortalised by Jules Verne — provides a compelling broader destination.
