Hot Springs / Uunartoq

Discover the ultimate Arctic relaxation at the Uunartoq Hot Springs, where the water remains a delightful 38°C (100°F) year-round. The name “Uunartoq,” meaning “the hot place” in the Inuit language, perfectly describes these thermal springs. Nestled on an island about 65 km (40 miles) south of Qaqortoq, near the quaint town of Alluitsup Paa, this hidden gem offers a serene escape.

Upon arrival, enjoy the convenience of an available changing room. Remember to bring warm clothing for after your soak, as the Arctic air can be brisk when you leave the comforting warmth of the pools.

The journey begins with a picturesque two-hour boat ride each way through Arctic waters dotted with majestic icebergs. As you navigate the stunning fjord, you’ll be surrounded by towering mountains, creating a breathtaking backdrop for your adventure. The boat ride provides ample opportunities for whale sightings, so keep a watchful eye on the horizon.

Immerse yourself in the soothing warmth of the hot springs, experiencing a unique blend of relaxation and the mesmerizing sight of drifting icebergs. This journey offers not only rejuvenation but also a visual feast as you take in the awe-inspiring Arctic scenery.
