Think of your Airbnb as more than just a place to sleep—it’s part of your adventure! Whether you’re waking up to the dramatic Iceland landscape, soaking in a private hot tub under the northern lights, or sipping coffee in a cabin that feels like a warm hug, the right stay makes your Iceland elopement even more magical! Don’t worry, here’s a list of the best airbnbs for your Iceland elopement!

Iceland is packed with stunning Airbnbs that blend seamlessly into the landscape, offering dramatic views and all the hygge vibes—exactly what you need for an intimate, unforgettable escape. I’ve rounded up the absolute best Airbnbs for your Iceland elopement! (I personally like to call these airbnbs earthy-boujee)

What Makes an Airbnb Perfect for Your Iceland Elopement?

Not all Airbnbs are created equal, especially when it comes to picking your homebase for your elopement adventure. Here’s what I looked for when picking the stays:

  • Maximum Hygge Vibes (gotta be comfy & cozy)
  • Seclusion & Privacy
  • Bonus Features (think hot tubs, etc!)

Now, let’s dive into the best Airbnbs for your Iceland elopement!

PLEASE NOTE: If you’re wanting your elopement photographer to take photos at your airbnb stay, you’re going to want to double-check that it’s okay with your host!
