Where you’ll stay…

retreat accommodation

Majestic landscapes, Icelandic horses, waterfalls, secret hikes off the beaten path, volcanic craters and geothermic nature baths are just some of the features offered. The summer season offers its own additional gifts – the midnight sun and riding the Icelandic horses.

The picturesque city of Akureyri is lovingly nicknamed the “Capital of North” and is the second largest urban area in Iceland after Reykjavik. Built along the fjord, Akureyri offers a mild climate and bucolic, picturesque landscape.

Our home for the week is a beautiful and eclectic boutique hotel located in central Akureyri. Each room has an en suite bathroom with heated floors, complimentary toiletries, hair dryer, and espresso machine. The hotel has its own lounge areas including a library, billiards room, bar and restaurant.

Across the fjord you will find a historic landmark where, according to Icelandic folklore, the Vikings originally landed in Iceland. On this beautiful property now lies Knarrarberg, a newly built wellness center designed specifically to welcome yoga retreats.

The center offers a large meeting space / yoga room, and a meditation / relaxation hall. There are male and female showers, changing rooms, a large dry sauna and an outdoor geothermic jacuzzi, and a view overlooking the fjord and mountains. The yoga space is fully equipped with yoga mats, blocks, straps and blankets and can be heated easily for warm classes.

There are also a few centrally located modern apartments that are available for the week. If you are traveling with several friends, or family, and would like this option, please send an inquiry for pricing and availability.
