Inspired by Iceland's historic turf houses, Torfhús Retreat offers a unique blend of heritage, sustainability and luxury in the heart of the Golden Circle. Built using traditional turf-roof architecture and natural materials, this secluded retreat provides an authentic connection to Iceland's past while placing guests within easy reach of some of the country's most iconic natural attractions.

Set amid volcanic plains, mountains and open countryside, the retreat has the feel of a private Icelandic village. Warm timber interiors, reclaimed materials and carefully considered design create a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates Icelandic culture and craftsmanship.
