The hot tub at the farm in evening light, with the sea beyond

Stay · hot water, cold air

A hot tub under Eyjafjallajökull

It stands outside the main building, facing the sea. It is included for every guest, and it is at its best when the air is at its worst.

The tub

Iceland runs on hot water and cold air, and a farm hot tub is the honest version of it: no spa reception, no time slot, no towel charge. You walk out of your apartment, past the main building, and get in. The view is the Atlantic on one side and Eyjafjallajökull over your shoulder.

It is included for every guest, whichever apartment you book.

When it earns its keep

Summer evenings are obvious. The underrated hours are the rough ones: after a day of waterfall spray and black-sand wind, or on a winter night when the farm's own darkness is the only thing between you and the sky. There are no streetlights here, so on clear winter nights the aurora happens straight overhead, and the tub is the warmest seat for it.

The rest of the stay

The tub belongs to a working family farm with studio apartments in the converted outbuildings, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. Seljalandsfoss is about fifteen minutes west, Skógafoss about twelve minutes east, and the old hot spring pool at Seljavallalaug is four kilometres away if one soak a day is not enough.

The four-bedroom villa has an outdoor hot tub of its own.

Questions people ask

Is the hot tub really free to use?

Yes. It is part of staying here, for every apartment, with no extra charge and no booking of slots.

Can you see the northern lights from the tub?

On clear, dark winter nights, yes. The farm has no streetlights and the horizon over the sea is open, so when the forecast cooperates the show is straight overhead. No one can promise a given night, least of all the aurora.

Is it open in winter?

Winter is the argument for it. Hot water and cold air is the whole recipe, and the colder the air, the better the tub.
