You can't get any more tropical than Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach in Reykjavik on a warm sunny day. This man-made geothermal beach features a lagoon constructed with large sea walls, resulting in higher temperatures and a warm wading pool. There's also a hot tub and a steam bath. You do have to pay to use the changing rooms and there's also a swimsuit/towel rental along with some basic snacks.
