Guðlaug Baths is a tiered structure of three stacked oval pools on Langisandur beach in Akranes, West Iceland, designed by Basalt Architects with Mannvit Engineering and completed in December 2018. It includes an observation deck, a main heated pool, and a wading pool, with published water temperatures cited between roughly 38–42°C depending on the source. The town of Akranes draws its district-heating water from Deildartunguhver, piped about 64 km away, which is the same source that supplies Krauma; it is reasonable but not separately confirmed that Guðlaug's pools use this same natural geothermal supply rather than boiler-heated water.
