On the site next to Melar there once stood a residential building called Bakki, \u00a0built in 1912 and \u00a0the first residential building in K\u00f3pasker. Tragically,\u00a0 it burned down in a fire that occured on New Year\u2019s Eve in 1988. The site now houses a monument to that house and its first occupants. On this seafront plot \u00a0hot thermal tubs have now been installed for guests of Melar, and others,\u00a0 to enjoy relaxing in the warm water. The hot tubs bear the name of that first residence \u00a0and are called Bakkab\u00f6\u00f0in in Icelandic, The Bakki Baths in English. There is plenty of geothermic hot water in K\u00f3pasker that comes from boreholes located on the sands in nearby \u00d6xarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur County. From these hot tubs guests have a wonderful view of the sandy black beach and the harbour. It is possible to walk down a lane to the\u00a0 beach and have a swim in the ocean or, perhaps, \u00a0simply stick ones \u00a0toes into the cold ocean.<\/p>\n

Melar and Bakkab\u00f6\u00f0in are designed for guests who enjoy unspoilt nature and choose to enjoy and experience peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the urban area.<\/p>\n
