Seljanlandsfoss Sky Retreat

Seljanlandsfoss Sky Retreat is a peaceful cottage on the South Coast of Iceland, just moments away from the country's most famous waterfalls. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you need, from a sauna and spa bath to a modern kitchen. It’s the perfect base for families, small groups, or couples who want both comfort and nature.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Seljanlandsfoss Sky Retreat sits in the quiet Nedri Dalur Valley outside Hvolsvollur town, surrounded by South Iceland's sweeping mountains and endless skies.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, where the cottage got its name, is only 2.2 miles (3.6 kilometers) away, just a short six-minute drive. On clear winter nights, the northern lights may even appear above the valley. 

Even though the location feels wonderfully remote, you are never far from what you need. The town of Hvolsvollur is just 15 miles (24 kilometers) away, with grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and electric vehicle charging points. You can also visit the LAVA Centre here, an interactive museum where you can learn about Iceland’s volcanic forces.

From your cottage, you’re perfectly placed to explore South Iceland. Just 1.6 miles (2.6 kilometers) from your door, you’ll find Gljufrabui Waterfall, while the famous Skogafoss Waterfall roars only 20 miles (33 kilometers) down the road. 

If you’d love to go on a short walk across the sands, the DC-3 plane wreck in Eyvindarholt rests just 2 miles (3.4 kilometers) away. Meanwhile, Solheimajokull Glacier lies 30 miles (49 kilometers) away, and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is 39 miles (64 kilometers) away.

For variety, Thorsmork in the Highlands is just 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) away. You can also drive 10 miles (17 kilometers) to the Landeyjahofn Ferry Terminal, where you can set sail to the volcanic Westman Islands.
