PremierTorfhús Retreat
Design retreat / turf houses · Bláskógabyggð, Golden Circle (15 minutes from Selfoss)
A private village of turf-roofed houses built from stone and reclaimed wood, inspired by traditional Icelandic Viking farms and set in wilderness within reach of Gullfoss and Geysir. The 25 accommodations include Torfhús suites with private basalt-stone geothermal pools and Torfbær rooms sharing pools, and the property runs entirely on geothermal and hydroelectric power. Dining in the Viking Langhús draws on ingredients sourced within a ten-mile radius.
Why we recommend it
The most atmospheric expression of Icelandic vernacular architecture done as genuine luxury, with a private geothermal pool under a turf roof and dark skies for the aurora.
