Description

Nestled in the heart of Southern Iceland’s Golden Circle, Torfhús Retreat is an intimate luxury hideaway inspired by traditional Icelandic turf houses. Surrounded by lava fields, mountains, and pristine wilderness, the retreat combines authentic Nordic architecture with contemporary comfort, offering an immersive experience deeply connected to Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes.

The property features just 26 beautifully crafted torfhús and villas, each designed with natural materials, private geothermal basalt stone hot tubs, and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Guests can also enjoy a geothermal pool, sauna, and a range of curated outdoor experiences, from glacier adventures to horseback riding and Northern Lights excursions.

Dining at Torfhús Retreat includes:

Torfhús Restaurant – A refined farm-to-table restaurant celebrating Icelandic culinary traditions with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and foragers.

The Wine Cellar – An intimate underground cellar featuring a carefully curated collection of international wines paired with Icelandic specialties.

Private Dining Experiences – Bespoke meals served in the privacy of each torfhús or at unique outdoor locations, showcasing the best of Iceland's seasonal produce and culinary heritage.

what we love in this hotel
  • The restaurant is one of the retreat's biggest highlights.
  • The turf-roofed houses, traditional architecture, basalt stone, and local craftsmanship provide an experience that feels uniquely Icelandic rather than internationally standardized.
  • The private basalt stone geothermal pools outside every accommodation
