Torfhús Retreat's architecture promises contemporary luxury while paying homage to Iceland's past. Built with centuries-old methods, the retreat's turf buildings, or "torfhús," are characterized by strong walls made of layered stone and soil, with living grass roofs. It appears as though these classic buildings are a natural extension of the surrounding environment because of their flawless integration into it. But what awaits travelers inside is a startling contrast: tasteful interiors with hand-carved furnishings, warm fireplaces, and expansive windows framing views of the untamed landscape. Every element, including the volcanic stone bathtubs and woolen blankets, has been thoughtfully picked to offer the utmost comfort and flair while capturing the spirit of Icelandic design.

For those wishing to see the Icelandic Golden Circle's natural splendor, Torfhús Retreat is in a prime location. The retreat provides an ideal starting point for day trips and excursions, as it is only a short drive away from some of the most famous locations in the nation, such as the impressive Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir geothermal area, and the Thingvellir National Park. The beauty and diversity of Iceland's natural environment are guaranteed to inspire visitors, whether they are hiking through volcanic landscapes, riding Icelandic horses over the plains, or swimming between tectonic plates in the pristine waters of Silfra. The retreat provides a variety of on-site activities, including yoga, meditation, guided nature walks, and bird watching, for those who would rather stay closer to home. All of these activities are intended to help guests immerse themselves in the serenity of their surroundings.
