We are a family run business located in the center of the Golden Circle where we have many of Iceland’s most precious attractions around us, such as Geysir hot spring, Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir national park and Skálholt an episcopal and one of Iceland’s historical places for hundreds of years. And spectacular nature views from our cabins.
Year established
Cabins owned
Hotel rooms
We offer two types of accommodation, Blue Hotel Fagrilundur and Blue Cabins.
Blue Hotel is located in the center of Reykholt Village. A recently built 40 room hotel made in the spirit of our old guesthouse which is now our reception and breakfast hall. Our guests enjoy the relaxing atmosphere among trees and Icelandic nature.
Blue Cabins are a 5 minute drive from the hotel and are located on top of a hill, with great mountain view and quiet surroundings. Many of our guests have said they feel that they are in the middle of nowhere but still close to many of Iceland’s most popular sites, like Gullfos, Geysir and Þingvellir.
We started building our first cabins in 2016
Since 2016 we have finished 18 cabins, sizes 25-62 sqm and a 40 room hotel.
A family affair
At first Jóhann Bluevacation's CEO and co-founder was established by him and his cousin Bjarni and their wives, Ellý and Katrín. Jóhann started building the cabins in 2016 hiring his parents in law, Guðrún and Gústi, as the first employees. Both of them worked on the buildings and Guðrún also took great care of the workers by cooking delicious meals and serving great caterings on the coffee breaks. Staying the first year in containers for sleeping, dining and storing tools. And the whole families helped on the projects. Even Jóhann's daughter, Ína, became the first hotel manager when we had built our 40 rooms hotel, adding it to 12 cabins. Now one of our first employees that is non-family related, Tereza Brabencova hired in 2018, is our hotel manager.
Our great team at the start
Since we first started we have been extremely luchy with our staff, from the first dig at the first cabin until finishing the last cabins we built in 2024.
We are all in this together and look forward having you stay with us
