Nauthólsvík

Nauthólsvík (, "bull hill bay") is a Seaside resort and a small neighbourhood in Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, about 900 m from Perlan. It has a beach with an artificial hot spring – hot water is pumped into a man-made lagoon.



The temperature of the ocean is usually about 12 to 16 C during the summer and drops down to about -2 C in the winter. The area inside the cove is usually a few degrees warmer than the ocean. The temperature of the hot tub is pretty consistent around 38.5 C with the second hot tub being a lot cooler. The service centre also sells beverages and snacks.

Reykjavík University is located in Nauthólsvík in a new building, opened in 2010.
