Welcome to a new way to experience Iceland’s Golden Circle. Sleep in one of nine custom-made yurts, built in Mongolia but inspired and furnished in contemporary Icelandic design. This is glamping at its best – sleeping under canvas yet with the comfort of private wash facilities and underfloor heating.

The intimate site consists of ten yurts, two large communal yurts and a separate toilet and shower block. All designed to bring together a unique comfortable and affordable experience. Wander barefoot in your yurt with the warmth of underfloor heating. Watch the colours of the Icelandic sky. Or share a drink with friends in the shared lounge yurt, while you relax and wait for the Geysir to erupt in the distance.

Each spacious yurt is 6m in diameter, has electricity, a plumbed toilet, a sink with hot and cold water, and comfortable chairs. Underfloor heating provides additional comfort to the glamping experience, as does the small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Bed options are flexible. The standard configuration is twin share but there are also options for double beds. A number of the yurts can accommodate three people comfortably. For larger groups – including families with small children - please contact us to discuss your requirements. Linen and towels are provided but you may wish to pack your own slippers as all yurts are shoe-free areas.

It is possible to book out the whole of the yurtel for special occasions and events.

Please get in touch to find out details. 

The Fossatún Pod Village is a new kind of accommodation that consists of camping pods with sleeping space for 2-3 persons at a reasonable price. The pods are sleeping bag accommodations with access to bathrooms, showers, hot tubs, BBQ and kitchen and dining facilities. Bed linen can be rented if guests do not have sleeping bags.

Experience nature in a unique and comfortable way year round.

For the last six years, we have been living in Iceland with our two young kids in our Mongolian Yurt that we built ourselves. Living close to nature all year round. We want to give other people the opportunity to also have that experience: Listen to the birds singing, the sound of a raven flying by or enjoy hearing the raindrops falling on the tent while you snuggle up next to the woodstove with a good book.

Stay in your own wool isolated heated Mongolian Yurt in the Icelandic countryside close to Akureyri in summer and winter.

Our yurts (or Ger in Mongolian, which translates as home) are spacious. The big yurt is about 30m2 and 6 meters or 18 feet across. We also have smaller ones (for couples or young families) with a diameter of 5 meters. We have yurts available for 2 to 5 people. All yurts have comfortable beds and are equipped with a wood stove so you can get cozy at the fireplace or make tea/coffee or some Icelandic pancakes.

Our yurts are ideally situated at 2.5 miles or 4 km from road nr.1 or just a 6-minute drive from the town of Akureyri.

The camp is a perfect starting point for hikes or cross-country skiing directly from the front door of the yurt. And for exploring the North of Iceland, which has a lot of natural wonders to offer such as the Goðafoss waterfall, one of the prettiest waterfalls in Iceland, only 30 minutes drive away. And Lake Mývatn, a unique area even for Iceland, because there are many different things together: boiling mud pots, rich birdlife, lava formations, and beautiful nature.  And Jarðböðin, the North Icelandic version of the Blue Lagoon, all at about 45 minutes drive. The North of Iceland is a lot less visited than the South and especially during the off-season September-May, you can still get the place to yourself.

There are many activities you can do around Akureyri: whale watching, horse riding, mountain biking, hiking to name a few. There are three geothermal swimming pools close by.

If you want to know more or want to get some secret tips or ideas for walks, trail runs or excursions just ask Erwin, he has been tour guiding in the area since 2012 and is working in winter as a ski –and snowboard instructor at the local ski resort, and likes to go out for a run or bike ride in his spare time. Or book a session outside to enjoy the healing sounds blending in with natural sounds and sensations under the bare sky. 

Iceland Yurt also invites you to enjoy wellness treatments. In the Gaia God/dess Temple Gaia hofið which is in a unique hand-carved Mongolian Yurt, Thora Solveig leads ceremonies, meditations and guides conscious breath, and movements/dance. Thora (Solla) gives deep relaxation and sound healing with sacred instruments like Gong and crystal singing bowls. She also offers individual treatments with a special crystal tuning fork and pure essential oils for deep healing, cleansing, and balancing. Please reserve for couples, groups or individuals inside the temple or outside in nature where nature's serene and rejuvenating sounds merge with the healing frequencies and vibrations from the instruments.

We are looking forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to our yurts!

Solla and Erwin 

Some words from our guests:

‘Amazing yurt, very cozy and warm. Beautiful view in such a quiet place’
‘This place is truly amazing. The kids will be talking about their stay in the yurt for a long time to come´

´This was such a fun and memorable experience for myself, my husband, and our 2-year old son.´

´We stayed at Iceland Yurt with three of us when travelling around Iceland in August. I have never slept in a yurt before and I am really impressed how clean and comfortable everything was. The yurt is really cozy with a stove in the middle, the beds are great and there are plenty of woollen blankets and pillows. We fell asleep listening to the light drizzle of rain outside and woke up next morning to a beautiful view over Akureyri and with a great breakfast lovingly prepared in a small cooling box. The hosts are so nice and welcoming and I'll gladly stay here again.´

´Amazing experience with Solla- felt like a part inside of me was awaken again and I felt new born after!! I felt like in peace surrounded with relaxing and nourishing healing bowls and  gong sounds, touching the body and soul- and Solla guided me with a respectful and intuitive way through sounds and touch to remember my own being again.

A deep and healing experience - I warmly recommend to receive a healing session with Solla! So grateful to get the first private session with her!´ (in the Gaia Temple).

Traustholtshólmi is a place of stunning beauty, untouched by modern development.
Experience the sustainable and restricted island in the wide and historic Þjórsá river.
Get close to the island’s unspoiled nature and participate in island life.

The owner and inhabitant of Traustholtshólmi, Hákon, and his sheepdog Skuggi will welcome you to the island. Hákon spent his summers on the island while growing up and is now following his dream to build a sustainable and ecofriendly space using off the grid solutions.

Hákon will ferry guests over the river to the island.
There the group will go check the nets and take in the catch of the day.
After the excitement of catching the salmon we go on a tour where Hákon will tell you about the life and history of the island and its surroundings, spanning all the way from the first settlers of Iceland.

A bonfire will be lit and wooden coals prepared for the grill. Together we’ll enjoy a three course meal which includes the wild salmon and homegrown herbs and vegetables; sharing stories and tales is a great way to end the day. It is not uncommon that a visiting musician performs a few songs for the guests.

Tailored to both personal preferences and every group’s individual dynamic, each visit is sure to be special and every visitor is free to go and explore the island on their own.

Come lie in the tall grasses and experience the true sense of seclusion and peacefulness that Traustholtshólmi has to offer.

Day tours start on the 3rd of June and will run until the 15th of September.
