About this property

Hvítuborgir - Romantic Getaway

About this space
We look forward to host you at our wonderful dome at the south of Iceland!

The dome is brand new with all the amenities you need to enjoy a great stay!

We are located a stone's throw away from Kerið-crater, and in a comfortable driving distance from must see locations like Gullfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir! We are also centrally located for all other visits you would want to do in the south of Iceland - the location couldn't be better.
The space
The dome is 70 sqm (about 750 sqf) on two levels and can host up to six adult guests. The main level has a common area with a sleeper sofa, a queen-size sleeping area for two, a kitchen area and a bathroom. The mezzanine (2nd level) has a queen size bed that sleeps two. Note that the mezzanine can only be accessed via a ladder that can only be used by an able bodied person.

Access to the mezzanine is only meant for adult guests.

The lower-lever queen-size sleeping area and the kitchen area share the view of the main window but the mezzanine bed has a good view of the skylight that is installed in the top of the dome.

The dome is heated with a central heating/cooling system.

The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a simple meal. There is a two plate stove, small fridge and utensils for cooking. Glasses and dishes are provided for 8-12 persons. Towels, kitchen-towels and and dish-washing liquid is provided.

All bed linen, towels and face towels are provided. Requests for additional linen or towels has to be made two days in advance of your arrival.

The dome has a private patio with a sitting area, a BBQ and a jacuzzi. The jacuzzi is a salt water jacuzzi with an ozone cleaning system, which will ensure you have crystal clean water at all times. The jacuzzi also has a bluetooth connection for your music (it will connect to your phone), lights and plenty of massage nozzles.
Guest access
The dome, and its surrounding area, is yours for your stay. No areas are shared! The total size of our area is 65 ha (162 acres), so you should have plenty of space for yourself.

If you won't get this confirmation within a few minutes of your booking, please check your spam box - if nothing is there, please contact us and we'll send you the information you need via other channels.

Awesome experience in the dome

What an amazing property. If the sky is clear this would be the best place to see the Northern Lights. We had a great stay.

Great Stay!

Everything was as expected. The hot tub cover was a bit of a pain, especially with the weather the way it was. The straps were not easy to deal with when frozen and wet.

So Cool!

The dome is Selfoss/Borg is a must-rent! Not only is it in the middle of the most beautiful landscape, it has everything you need! Hosts were responsive and provided instructions for everything, which was appreciated! Let's not forget about the hot tub. That was perfect after a long day of sightseeing! Couldn't recommend it any more :)

Beautiful but wet

The location and dome itself were beautiful. All of the accommodations were great, especially the hot tub under the stars. When we first walked in, there was a large puddle in front of the door. Walking into the dome we realized the rugs were soaked and there was water dripping in from the ceiling in one place. As the night went on, the puddle grew in front of the door and we ended up having to walk through the puddle to use the bathroom. We could not use the loft because the ladder was above the puddle and our feet became too slippery to safely get up. In the middle of the night, the water in the dome tripped the circuits and the heat shut off, leaving the dome very cold. We were able to get the heat back on. We had to get all of our belongings off the floor to keep them dry. Location and accommodations were wonderful, but don’t think we should have had to walk through puddles after paying as much as we did.
