While the Mývatn Nature Baths may be smaller and less well-known, they offer a more intimate and tranquil atmosphere. The water, although similar to a regular hot spring, has its own distinct qualities. Although it didn’t leave my skin as soft as the water at the Blue Lagoon, I still found it incredibly soothing.

One thing I should have taken note of was the warning about removing jewelry before entering the baths. Unfortunately, I left mine on and it turned black. So, make sure to heed this advice to avoid any mishaps.
