Sundlaugin á Laugarvatni er 25 metra útilaug. Við laugina eru þrír heitir pottar, kalt kar og gufubað. Laugin var byggð árið 1992 og er hluti af íþróttaaðstöðu háskólans sem einnig inniheldur íþróttahús og útisvæði með hlaupabraut.

Laugin er opin almenningi og er jafnframt sem kennsluaðstaða fyrir nám í íþrótta- og heilsufræðum við Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands. Jarðhiti er nýttur til upphitunar laugarinnar og aðstöðunnar í heild.

Laugin stendur í skjólgóðu og grónu umhverfi rétt við vatnið og er í göngufæri við háskólann, gististaði og aðra þjónustu í Laugarvatni.
