Condé Nast Traveller has released a list of 16 recommended Airbnbs across Iceland, compiled by an expert who has visited the country 15 times. The selections aim to provide accommodation options beyond city limits, where hotels can be scarce.
The featured Airbnbs range from luxury apartments in Reykjavik to more private homes outside central districts. Guests staying at any of these properties may be able to see the Northern Lights during periods of strong aurora activity.
When choosing the Airbnbs, factors such as driving distance from major cities and airports, proximity to natural attractions, and on-property amenities were considered. Specific recommendations include The Lakeview Retreat in Selfoss for couples and a luxury lodge in Laxfoss for families.
