Property info
A Magical Countryside Retreat on Iceland’s Diamond Circle
Escape to Aurora Farm & Hot Spring — a boutique countryside haven where luxury meets the raw beauty of North Iceland. Perfectly located along the famous Diamond Circle, our newly renovated studio apartment blends modern comfort with authentic Icelandic charm and the soothing power of geothermal nature.
Our rooms are warm, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, featuring high-quality beds dressed in premium linens for deep, restorative sleep. Every detail has been curated to create a sense of calm, warmth, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
After a day of exploring, immerse yourself in the private geothermal hot spring, unwind in the sauna, or awaken your senses with a refreshing cold plunge beneath open skies.
Breakfast is included daily, and our on-site restaurant offers seasonal dishes crafted from the region’s finest ingredients.
Aurora Farm is only a short drive from the natural wonders of the Diamond Circle — including Lake Mývatn, Dettifoss waterfall, Ásbyrgi canyon, and the fishing village of Húsavík. Its central location makes it the perfect hub for travelers exploring North Iceland — ideal for an overnight stop, yet truly best enjoyed over several days, as the magic of the Diamond Circle simply cannot be experienced in a single visit.
Surrounded by mountains, open fields, and complete tranquility, Aurora Farm is a place of quiet beauty and renewal. In winter, it becomes one of Iceland’s most enchanting spots to witness the Northern Lights dancing above steaming geothermal pools. With a supermarket and gas station nearby, and our friendly team always ready to assist, your stay will be as seamless as it is unforgettable.
Experience the beauty, stillness, and natural warmth of North Iceland — your geothermal spa escape begins here at Aurora Farm & Hot Spring.
Neighborhood info
Our location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of the Diamond Circle, surrounded by North Iceland’s most spectacular natural wonders. Goðafoss Waterfall is only 5 minutes away, Lake Mývatn and Húsavík (whale watching) are 20 minutes away, and the mighty Dettifoss is just an hour’s drive.
Aurora Farm is set in the iconic Reykjadalur (Smoke Valley), known for its rich geothermal energy. Guests can unwind in our private hot springs, exclusive to those staying with us.
The nearby village of Laugar (2 minutes away) offers a swimming pool, sports center, grocery store, gas station, and a cozy restaurant — everything you might need within easy reach.
With its central location and stunning views, Aurora Farm & Hot Spring is the perfect base for exploring North Iceland.
