Stay on the Eider Farm​

A peaceful coastal retreat on the edge of Iceland

Escape to the pristine wilderness of the Icelandic Westfjords, where eider duck nests lie just beyond your window. Our Airbnb offers a warm and peaceful retreat to relax, unplug, and experience the natural wonders up close.

Nestled on a working eiderdown farm, this cozy home includes all modern comforts while being surrounded by untouched landscape, spectacular sunsets, and absolute tranquility.

Your stay gives back to the colony

Lækur is first and foremost an eider colony, and everything we earn from the farm stay goes straight back into looking after it – the spring watches, the new watch hut, mowing back the lupine each summer, repairing the dam that powers the farm. By staying with us you become part of that work. In return you get 80 hectares of quiet, a private beach, a path through the colony (outside the nesting season), northern lights in autumn and, if you are lucky, an Arctic fox trotting past the window.

Please note that the marked eider protection area is closed to guests from 15 April to 14 July, while the birds are nesting.

“Northern lights at night, impressive waterfalls, in autumn a colourful hilly landscape and swarms of birds, seals, water birds – and a silence that lets you rest.”
