Panorama Glass Lodge

ICELAND

THE PERSONALITIES

Stargazers. Northern Lights chasers. Solitude seekers. Storytellers. Those who find luxury in silence and vast horizons.

MOMENTS

Waking in a glass cabin as the first blush of dawn spills over mossy lava fields. Watching the Northern Lights arc and dance above your bed. Slow mornings with coffee, wrapped in wool, as steam rises from your private hot tub. The deep hum of winter stillness.

BEST VISITING MONTHS

Visit October to March if your dream is to witness the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Summer, from June to August, offers long, golden days under the midnight sun—perfect for exploring Iceland’s South Coast without the rush of winter storms. Spring and autumn bring softer light, fewer visitors, and the chance to experience the land in seasonal transition.

COST

WHY STAY

Panorama Glass Lodge is not a hotel—it’s a front-row seat to Iceland’s wild landscapes. Set in Hella, in south Iceland, the single glass cabin offers true Scandinavian luxury with unparalleled privacy and uninterrupted views of the Icelandic highlands and volcano Hekla. Inspired by traditional Icelandic houses yet crafted from glass and steel, it reimagines the idea of shelter in the wild.

Inside, Nordic minimalism meets cocooned comfort—sheepskin throws, warm wood accents, and the quiet glow of a stove. Slip from the glass sauna into the steaming outdoor hot pool, or let the rainforest shower’s spa-like ambiance wash away the day’s chill. Sleep beneath duvets from Böhmerwald Bavaria, wrapped in Schlafgut Germany linen, as the Northern Lights dance overhead in winter or the midnight sun spills across the sky in summer. End each day of exploration in your private luxury cabin at the edge of the world, where the silence is as stunning as the view.

WHY WANDER

This stretch of Iceland feels like another planet—black sand beaches, jagged cliffs, geothermal springs, and waterfalls just a short drive away. In summer, the midnight sun casts a golden light that never fades; in winter, the skies turn to ink, pierced by the green shimmer of the aurora. Whether you choose to roam glacial lagoons or hike moss-covered lava fields, you’ll return to your lodge with the sense that the outside world has grown quieter. The surrounding South Coast is also dotted with volcanic wonders and Viking history, each site layered with the myths that have shaped Icelandic culture for centuries.

INDULGE IN

Local provisions for a cozy night in—fresh-baked rye bread, smoked salmon, Icelandic butter.

GETTING THERE

Panorama Glass Lodge is a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík, following the scenic Route 1 along the South Coast. Renting a car is essential, not just for reaching the lodge, but for exploring Iceland’s surrounding landscapes at your own pace.
