Mirrored volcanic retreat
Mirrored cabins disappear into the volcanic plains, reflecting shifting subarctic skies while framing uninterrupted views of Mount Hekla.
What it’s good at

Seven mirrored-glass cabins reflect volcanic plains, framing Mount Hekla through floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and minimalist interiors.

The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds heated floors and kitchenettes, while select cabins add private saunas and outdoor hot tubs.
