Frost & Fire Hotel

Iceland is an island full of dramatic scenery, with its volcanoes, glaciers, lava fields and black sand beaches, all set against the North Atlantic Ocean. And, undeniably, one of the best places from which to take it all in, whatever the weather, is a hot tub. We've scoured Iceland and narrowed down our favourite places to stay with hot tubs, including luxury spa resorts with sweeping views, cosy countryside stays and some very affordable hotels with outdoor tubs. There are remote retreats perfect for watching the Northern Lights, as well as stylish harbourside hotels where a warm soak will be part of the daily routine.
