Overview

5-star eco-luxury retreat with private geothermal hot pools in Iceland's Golden Circle

Accommodations & Grounds

Torfhús Retreat offers 22 turf-roofed lodges inspired by Icelandic Viking farms, each built with reclaimed local stone and timber. Every accommodation includes a private basalt geothermal hot pool, maintained at 40°C year-round, and views of mountain landscapes and Icelandic horses. The Thor and Odin groupings cluster three lodges around a shared hot tub, while the larger Lodge provides a private sauna, cold plunge, and outdoor tub.

Dining

The hotel's restaurant serves a four-course set dinner each evening, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and announced by the chef before each course. Breakfast is a buffet with scrambled eggs, bacon, cured meats, cheeses, fresh breads, and juices. The evening meal is presented in the Viking Langhús dining room, with optional wine pairings at an additional 95 euros per person.

Wellness & Activities

Guests can soak in the basalt stone hot tubs or the on-site hot spring bath, both accessible from the lodges. The hotel provides a Northern Lights wake-up call for clear nights, and direct views of the aurora from the property. Complimentary activities include hiking and cycling on marked trails, with horse riding, private glacier hikes, and guided SuperJeep tours available for booking through the concierge.

Location & Surroundings

Torfhus Retreat sits on a private meadow in Selfoss, 14 km from the Geysir geothermal area and 17 km from Gullfoss Waterfall. Thingvellir National Park is a 40-minute drive, and the Secret Lagoon is less than 15 minutes away. The hotel's position in the Golden Circle allows guests to reach Reykjavík in under 90 minutes.

Sustainability & Eco-Luxury

The retreat is powered entirely by geothermal energy, with heating and hot water drawn directly from underground hot springs. Construction materials are reclaimed Icelandic stone and driftwood, minimizing environmental footprint. Each lodging includes energy-efficient underfloor heating and triple-glazed windows to retain warmth without fossil fuels.
