The Artist Lodges
The Artist Lodges is a collection of 8 one-bedroom upscale cabins. Each house features a bedroom that sleeps two, a bathroom, a sofa, a kitchenette, and a living room with an amazing view over the lake and the fjord.
Although the lodges are new, they are designed and decorated to blend into the modern/rustic luxury look and feel of Hvammsvík, where we combine high-end materials and finishes with old authentic details and high-quality art.
In addition, each Artist Lodge is dedicated to an artist that we love and who is part of our Art Collection in Hvammsvík. As a result, each lodge has its own unique character, while still sharing similar layouts and finishes.
The Artist Lodges are ideal for couples or larger groups travelling together. To allow both connection and privacy, the houses are arranged in four groups, with two houses closer together than the others while still providing privacy for each lodge.
If desired, a stay in a specific artist’s studio can be requested via the booking form; however, this is subject to availability.
Additionally, the lodges are just a 10-minute walk from Hvammsvík Hot Springs and Stormur Bistro & Bar, making it the perfect escape. Please note, however, that hot springs access is booked separately from the accommodation.
Guests who book accommodation directly through our website receive a 25% discount code with their booking confirmation.
