Landbrotalaug is a small, intimate geothermal hot spring pool in the Mýrdalur area of southern Iceland, hidden in a hillside above the Landsveit farming district, where warm geothermal water fills a natural rock pool large enough for just two or three people at a time. The spring's tiny scale and remote location have made it a favourite among those who seek the quietest and most personal Icelandic hot spring experiences, far from the crowds of the better-known thermal pools. Landbrotalaug offers an authentic, unhurried encounter with geothermal warmth in the pastoral landscape of southern Iceland.

Insider tip — Landbrotalaug is a small, wild geothermal pool in the Myrar wetlands district of West Iceland, reachable only via a rough track across farmland where permission from local farmers is traditionally required. The pool is barely large enough for two people but maintains a pleasantly warm temperature fed by a low-enthalpy geothermal aquifer beneath the flat coastal plain. Overhead, the Snæfellsnes glacier appears on clear days, creating a memorable contrast between ice and warm water. The informal, untouched character of this spot is representative of hundreds of small geothermal pools scattered across rural Iceland.
