Overnight Stay on Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Experience one of Iceland’s most extraordinary overnight stays with an Overnight Stay on Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Spend the night in a private floating AuroraHut surrounded by the peaceful landscapes of one of Iceland’s hidden glacier lagoons.
Located beneath the mighty Vatnajökull Glacier, Fjallsárlón offers an unforgettable setting far from the crowds. Here, you can disconnect from everyday life and experience the silence, ice and changing light of Icelandic nature.
Each AuroraHut accommodates two guests in a double bed, making this a truly private experience for two.
Sleep in a Floating AuroraHut
Your accommodation for the night is a specially designed AuroraHut, sometimes called an Igloo boat.
Large glass walls and a glass ceiling connect you with the landscape outside. Therefore, you can enjoy views across the glacier lagoon while staying warm and comfortable inside.
The hut includes a double bed, composting toilet, small kitchenette, electricity and Wi-Fi.
However, there are no shower facilities at the location.
Once you reach the floating hut, you remain on the lagoon for the night. You cannot go ashore during your stay.
A Glacier Lagoon Experience for Every Season
The landscape around Fjallsárlón changes dramatically with the seasons.
During summer, enjoy Iceland’s long days and almost continuous daylight. In spring and autumn, watch the changing light create a peaceful atmosphere across the lagoon.
During winter, the darkness offers another remarkable experience. Relax inside the warmth of your hut, gaze at the stars and look for the Northern Lights through the glass.
Northern Lights sightings depend on weather and aurora activity and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
