Travelers heading to Iceland for the first time may quickly notice that accommodation options, particularly hotels, can be sparse outside urban centers. Fortunately, the island offers an extensive range of Airbnb options—from upscale apartments in Reykjavik that place guests near the city’s top culinary destinations, to charming residences located in more secluded areas that provide an added sense of tranquility. Moreover, many of these listings offer a chance to witness the breathtaking Northern Lights on evenings with good aurora visibility, whether situated in the city or set in the beautiful Icelandic countryside.
While Reykjavik itself is enchanting, limiting your adventures to the capital could mean overlooking some of the country’s most stunning landscapes. Iceland is characterized by its unique and striking contrasts: from vast waterfalls and intimate saunas to secluded swimming spots and luxurious thermal spa experiences, as well as winding roads that weave through striking lava fields and impressive mountain ranges. With this diversity in mind, we have curated a selection of 16 exceptional places to stay, regardless of where your travels take you across this captivating land. Our selections were made with several key factors in mind, such as driving distances from major urban areas and airports, closeness to natural attractions, and the amenities available on-site. Having traveled to Iceland numerous times, I’ve gathered insights that can streamline the planning process for your journey. To aid in narrowing down the wide array of options, we present the best Icelandic vacation rentals, allowing you to concentrate on crafting an exciting itinerary.
These listings have been carefully reviewed based on criteria including Superhost status, guest ratings, available amenities, location relevance, and prior visitor feedback. This collection has been refreshed with updated information since its original release date. Additional reporting has been contributed by Meredith Carey.
