A summer stay in North Iceland, from 31 May to 22 August 2027: bright nights over Reykjadalur, the river below the terrace, and Goðafoss, Lake Mývatn and Húsavík on the Diamond Circle around you.
During the school year the houses are the boarding school in Laugar. When the students leave for the summer holidays, we open the doors as Hótel Laugar: 57 rooms, each with its own bathroom, and breakfast included every morning.
At 65.7° N the night sky stays at twilight or brighter from opening day until early August, so the evenings are long.
