Aurora Glass Cabin I (private: sauna & jacuzzi)

Escape to your private luxury glass igloo oasis on Iceland’s stunning South Coast, nestled in the prime Eyjafjöll aurora zone—centered between iconic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls (just 10-min drive). This cozy 34m² superior cabin is crafted for couples craving romance, ultimate relaxation, and breathtaking views of the aurora borealis dancing overhead from your bed or private jacuzzi or the amazing 360 degree views of the mountain range and the golden hours in Icelandic summers

The Space

Step inside your superior 34m² glass igloo cabin, a masterpiece of contemporary Scandinavian design where clean lines, and high-quality minimalist furnishings create an instantly calming and luxurious atmosphere. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to blend seamless indoor comfort with the raw, breath-taking beauty of Iceland’s landscapes.
At the heart of the space lies the spacious glass-roofed bedroom area, featuring a generous king-size bed (180 × 200 cm) dressed in premium linens and plush allergy free duvets—designed for deep, restorative sleep and pure indulgence, simply lie back and let the magic unfold overhead through the crystal-clear panoramic glass dome.
In winter (peak season September–April), the sky becomes your private theatre: witness the aurora borealis painting vivid green, purple, and pink ribbons across the darkness, often right above you, without ever needing to leave the warmth of your covers. In summer (June–August), experience the enchanting midnight sun and endless golden-hour twilight— perfect for late-night reading, quiet conversations, or simply soaking in the peaceful brightness of Iceland’s never-ending days and enjoy the panoramic view of Eyjafjöll mountain range in front of the cabin.
Complementing the bedroom is your exclusive private high-lux wellness zone just steps away: a bubbling outdoor jacuzzi with built-in hydrotherapy jets and a traditional Finnish-style sauna, both offering complete privacy and stunning views of the surrounding mountains, farm fields with grazing sheep and Icelandic horses, and open horizons. Whether unwinding after a day exploring waterfalls or simply enjoying the contrast of hot water against crisp air under the stars or sun, these amenities elevate every moment into pure relaxation.
High-speed WIFI, underfloor heating for year-round comfort, blackout curtains on side panels, and thoughtful Scandinavian touches throughout ensure the space feels both modern and deeply connected to Iceland’s natural essence—creating the ideal private retreat for couples seeking romance, intimacy, and unforgettable seasonal magic.

Other things to note

  • Only 2.7 km away (about a 4-minute drive) you’ll find a selection of 2 excellent à la carte restaurants offering delicious Icelandic cuisine (fresh lamb, seafood, local specialties) — that also welcome walk-in guests for hearty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, you can order most of their menu as take away as well to enjoy in your cabin.

This was a beautiful spot for our family!

This was a beautiful spot for our family for a few days. The place is very small, but we made it work for four, and the location was prime, the hot tub was lovely and the sheep in the distance were adorable. Plus the Northern Lights!

Everything! Hot tube, location – away from anybody, warm inside, equipped with all necessary items, good contact with host. Only 3h away from Glacier lagoon. Plenty of lovely places around. So pleased!

This place was so awsome!

March 1, 2025

This place was so awsome and in such a beautiful place! It was in great location too! You’re in between some famous waterfalls! 10mins to Seljanlandsfloss and 15mins to Skógafoss. The plane wreck hike is about 20 mins south and Vik is about a 1/2hr/40 min drive. It’s very quiet and essentially no light pollution! The hot tub was an added plus! Especially after very long days of driving/hiking/walking around. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone that wants a good location to explore the south of Iceland! The owners were very nice, very attentive and gave privacy!
