Rooted here.
Happy to share it.
A family farm, a familiar landscape and a connection that goes back long before the first visitor arrived.

Eyvindarholt is our home — a place shaped slowly by nature, time and the people who know it best.
We were raised nearby in Skógar, beneath the mountains and glaciers of South Iceland. For more than 40 years, this landscape has been our playground, our classroom and our refuge. We learned its moods, its paths and its silence long before visitors began to arrive. Sharing it now feels natural.
Our family purchased Eyvindarholt in the autumn of 2019. Since then, we have carefully restored the old farm buildings with the help of friends and neighbours. What began as a working farm has slowly become a welcoming place for guests who value nature, quiet moments and authenticity.
From the hilltop houses and cabins, the views stretch across mountains, glaciers, rivers and volcanoes, changing with the seasons and the light.
We are locals. We live here, raise our families here and know this area intimately. Welcoming guests continues a long relationship with this land. Our wish is simple: that those who visit leave with a deeper sense of connection, calm and respect for the place we are proud to call home.
Warm regards,Tómas Birgir Magnússon & familyYour hosts at Eyvindarholt

LIFE AT EYVINDARHOLT
Meet the place.
And its characters.
The airplane rests quietly on our land, surrounded by open space, changing light and wide skies. Left to weather naturally with the landscape, it is a reminder of the stories hidden across Iceland. We keep the setting simple and respectful, so the aircraft can be experienced as part of its surroundings.
Horses are an essential part of life at Eyvindarholt. Calm and curious, they roam the fields near the wreck and the farm. They belong to our everyday life, and we ask visitors to treat them with the same respect and care we do.
THE LANDSCAPE WE CALL HOME
Different light.
The same connection.
The location makes it easy to explore South Iceland. Yet sometimes, the greatest luxury is simply staying still.

Quiet fields.
Northern skies.
In winter, the northern lights often dance above the fields. The open landscape and changing light make this a place to pause, look up and take in the season.
IN SUMMER
Long days.
A slower pace.
Summer's long daylight invites slow walks and short hikes on our private land toward the surrounding hills. There is time to enjoy the views and let a quiet moment last.
