Húsafell and the West Iceland Highlands

Húsafell is a historic estate and outdoor destination located in West Iceland, at the edge of the Icelandic highlands. The area is surrounded by lava fields, glacial rivers, and expansive mountain scenery that reflects the powerful natural forces shaping Iceland.

Nearby glaciers such as Langjökull, combined with centuries of volcanic activity, have carved deep canyons, waterfalls, and geothermal features into the landscape. This remote region offers a rare sense of tranquility and connection to nature, far from the main tourist routes.

The Husafell Canyon Baths are carefully designed to respect this unique environment, using natural materials and geothermal water to create a bathing experience that feels both authentic and deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness.
