Why Stay in a Glass Roof Lodge in Iceland?
Picture yourself lying in a cozy bed with a glass roof above, gazing up at Iceland’s night sky. Whether it's the magical northern lights or the endless glow of the midnight sun, a glass roof lodge offers an unforgettable stargazing experience like no other. Here's why this unique accommodation is perfect for those looking to connect with nature and experience the beauty of Iceland from a whole new perspective.
1. Witness the Northern Lights from the Comfort of Your Bed
Iceland is one of the best places to witness the northern lights, and staying in a glass roof lodge means you can enjoy the spectacle from the warmth of your bed. Imagine watching vibrant green and sometimes purple hues dance across the night sky without stepping outside into the cold. It’s an experience that’s as comfortable as it is magical.
Pro Tip: The best time to see the northern lights in Iceland is from September to April, especially during clear, dark nights away from the city light pollution. There is still a great chance to see the northern lights this season! There are multiple Apps which you can use but locals often just use vedur.is/en which is the Icelandic Met Office website and look for the aurora forecast.
2. Stargaze Under the Midnight Sun
In the summer, Iceland offers the unique experience of the midnight sun, where the sun barely dips below the horizon, leaving you with soft, golden light even at midnight. From the comfort of your glass-roofed lodge, you can experience this phenomenon, making your stay even more special. For a comfortable stay and at least some night sleep we offer comfortable sleep masks during summer months.
4. Comfort and Adventure Combined
A glass roof lodge combines luxury with nature. With features like heated floors, cozy bedding, and panoramic views, you can stay comfortable while enjoying the wild beauty of Iceland. It’s the best of both worlds—comfort and adventure, all in one place.
5. A Secluded, Peaceful Escape
One of the greatest advantages of staying in a glass roof lodge in Iceland is the tranquility it offers. Away from the city lights and crowds, our lodge provides a serene environment where you can disconnect and recharge. It’s the perfect place to unwind, whether you’re watching the northern lights or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of Iceland’s countryside.
6. Ideal for Stargazing Enthusiasts and Photographers
If you’re a stargazing enthusiast or photographer, this is the place to be. Iceland’s dark skies, free from light pollution, offer some of the best conditions for capturing the beauty of the aurora borealis or the stars. The glass roof makes it easy to snap photos from the comfort of your lodge without having to leave the warmth inside. Whether you’re using a professional camera or just your smartphone, the opportunities for capturing magical moments are endless.
Pro Tip: For the best shots of the northern lights, use a camera with manual settings, a wide-angle lens, and a tripod. Don’t forget to set your ISO high and adjust your exposure time to capture the full beauty of the lights. Don´t see any lights? Try to take a photo with your camera and you will be surprised what you might see! Northern lights are not always so strong as you see on social media but at least you might be able to catch a great photo if you are not so lucky with intense lights!
