During your stay in Hvammsvík, you will be sleeping in one of three exceptional accommodations. The Lake House, bright and airy with exceptional views overlooking the lake and Hvalfjörður fjord, is a rustic yet luxurious lodge equipped with modern appliances, featuring two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, perfect for a family or two couples. The Club House is a beautifully renovated farmhouse adorned with great furnishings and local art, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and ocean, a private hot tub, and access to a natural geothermal hot spring by the ocean. The Hilltop House is a unique property with 360-degree panoramic views, sitting on a hill overlooking the fjord and mountain ridges. This house features its own private natural hot spring and, despite being just 45 minutes from Reykjavík city center, offers a private and immersive nature experience.

The Aurora Lounge at Aurora Basecamp is a cozy, softly lit geodesic dome furnished with tables and benches, where you can warm up with plenty of hot chocolate on cold winter nights. Accompanied by a private chef who will prepare beautiful meals using locally-sourced ingredients, you'll enjoy a truly immersive experience. The Lounge is staffed with experts who will provide all the information you need to maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

Finding the Northern Lights can be tricky, but the Dark Park experience, a 10-15 minute guided tour, is designed to help you identify the natural Northern Lights from their starting phase. Using both still and live images, you will be guided through the different phases of the lights and shown the current activity in the unique Northern Lights Mirror Tubes.

As a Northern Lights Observatory, the real magic happens outside when conditions are right. The guided tour concludes in a low-lit outdoor area with open fires and benches, where you can stay warm while admiring the endless sky or simply enjoying the ou up.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner by a Private Chef

The core of the Icelandic diet remains much as it was in Viking times, with staples like Arctic char, North Atlantic salmon, lamb and skyr. However, our chefs enhance these traditional ingredients using modern techniques and a touch of international flair. With regular deliveries from local farmers and fishermen, our menus are always fresh and source-to-table.
