Sky Lagoon Saman Pass Admission
What's Included in the Saman Pass: Lagoon Access and the 7-Step Skjól Ritual
2 hours
Unwind at Sky Lagoon, a stunning cliffside geothermal spa overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean just minutes from Reykjavík. The Saman Pass includes access to the infinity-edge lagoon, changing facilities and a towel, giving you everything you need for a relaxing soak with sweeping sea views.
Perched on a lava cliff overlooking the sea, Sky Lagoon is one of Iceland's most striking geothermal spas. The naturally heated, infinity-edge lagoon appears to spill straight into the North Atlantic, framing views of the rugged coastline and Mount Keilir in the distance. Whether you visit under the midnight sun or in search of the Northern Lights, the warm water offers a uniquely Icelandic way to relax.
The Saman Pass gives you access to the lagoon itself, along with the public changing facilities, showers and a towel for your visit. Guests are also welcome to purchase food and drink at the on-site Sky Café and swim-up bar, and can upgrade to add the signature seven-step ritual, which includes the sauna, cold plunge, steam room, body scrub and mist shower, at an additional cost.
Just a short drive from central Reykjavík, Sky Lagoon makes an easy addition to a day of sightseeing, or a relaxing stand-alone visit to unwind and soak in the view.

Are you wondering about something?
If you're planning a trip to Iceland, it's important to be prepared with the right information. Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help you plan your trip
As the Sky Lagoon remains warm no matter the weather, you can visit come rain or shine. When it is snowing, there is something magical about being submerged in bath-warm water as a blizzard swirls around you. In the rainy weather, you can watch the dramatic grey clouds gather out at sea while keeping toasty warm in the lagoon, sauna and steam room.
It has long been a Nordic tradition to plunge into a cold pool of water after an intensely hot sauna or steam room session. One part of the Sky Lagoon’s seven-step ritual involves detoxifying and waking up the blood vessels in a cold pool inspired by mediaeval bathing traditions. The cold plunge pool is around 10°C – a real shock to the system after the warm lagoon.
While outdoor shoes are not allowed beyond the changing rooms of the Sky Lagoon, you can wear flip-flops to make the very short journey to the lagoon water. Unlike Iceland’s other geothermal baths, you enter the Sky Lagoon straight from the changing rooms and the walkway is slightly heated, so most visitors are happy to go barefoot.
Given that Iceland’s geothermally-heated water tends to smell of sulphur, you might expect the Sky Lagoon to smell like eggs. However, the Sky Lagoon doesn’t have a particular smell. You might catch the fresh salty tang of sea air whipping off the Atlantic, or inhale the herbal fragrance of the spa products on offer, but you won’t find the sulphuric smell of eggs here.
The Sky Lagoon is found at Kársnes Harbour, Kópavogur on the outskirts of Reykjavík, just a fifteen-minute drive (8.7km) from the centre. If you’re staying in the capital, the Sky Lagoon is the most conveniently located geothermal bathing experience. It’s on the coast and has a view out over the North Atlantic Ocean.
