About Bjarnarfjörður and Hótel Laugarhóll

Simply, a true slice of Iceland.

Bjarnarfjörður is the epitome of Enchanted - Rich in history, with tales of folklore and magical mysticism. The lusciously green and sparsely populated valley 25 km north of Hólmavík was settled by heathens in the late 9th century with many place names associated with heathenism, such as Hörsey, Hörfinnsey and Hörsvík. The mighty sorcerer Svanur from Svanshóli inhabited this area and is depicted in the most famous Icelandic saga NJÁLA. The valley is an optimal place for hikers who like solitude and those who enjoy peaceful highlands, rivers and waterfalls.


Hótel Laugarhóll is a peaceful and comfortable rustic country hotel in the east part of the Westfjords, located in the green and sparsely populated valley Bjarnarfjördur, midway between Reykjavík and Ísafjördur. 


It was originally built as a boarding school, Klukuskoli, and community center, Laugarholl. It is still a community center but the school was closed down in 1994 due to diminishing population in the vicinity.  In the year 2000 a new floor with six spacious and bright rooms and private facilities were built on top of the renovated dormitory and the headmaster´s quarters were changed into four rooms with private facilities. 


Next to the hotel you will find The Pool of Gvendur the Good, a geothermal outdoor swimming pool (35°C) and adjacent natural thermal spring (41°C), perfect to relax in after a long day on the road or hiking in the wilderness. 

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Cozy, clean, and comfortable rooms that are redesigned old dormitories. So cool!


Guests receive: Comfortable beds, fresh linens, towels, and soaps/shampoo/shower gel.

1 ROOM JUST OPENED UP!

SAFETY POLICY: Your wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us.

In the spirit of equanimity, and to ensure everyone feels safe, we are asking that you home test if you feel sick prior to the retreat. Thank you!

You can send your result to joanne@yogawithchaz.com.


TRAVEL INFO: We will first be traveling to Reykjavik on April 29th, staying at Hotel Island Spa & Wellness with a block of discounted rooms on the 29th, 30th, and optionally May 8th on return. The cost of the room will be around $150/night, including breakfast.  

Airport pickup is $30 as an option. 

In order to book your discounted room , contact Tanya Foster-Abrams: sailawaywithme20@gmail.com . 

We'll be exploring the sights in the city on April 30th, including one of the famous lagoons! 


The price of the retreat excludes transportation from Reykjavik to Hotel Laugarholl.  

The cost of transportation from Reykyavik to the Hotel Laugarholl TBD; Chaz is currently negotiating prices. ;-) It's looking like around $150/person for the week - we will be renting passenger vehicles that we will use while on the retreat, as well. This price is pretty stellar considering the fuel crisis in Europe; it will also save us lots of money on all the optional excursions and trips we go on, as we won't have to pay a driver. 

PLUS, it's just part of the adventure and the roads are so easily navigable. 

More details to come:)

CANCELLATION POLICY:  A full refund will be granted if you can cancel for any reason up to two months prior to the retreat travel date.  If you cancel within two months of the retreat, if we cannot replace your spot, a full refund will be granted minus costs already incurred for your planned participation. If you cancel within one month of the retreat, if we cannot replace your spot, no refund will be granted. We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance (for medical expenses or cancellation costs for any reason). 

If we cancel the retreat due to lack of attendance, we will issue a full refund; if we cannot hold the retreat due to pandemic-related complications, we will first seek to postpone the retreat to a future date. We understand that "sh*t happens" and aim to be as fair with our refund policy as possible
