About The Fox Hostel
The Fox Hostel is part of the Hrífunes Nature Park concept. Since 2017, we have welcomed guests to Hrífunes and gradually developed the park as a place where nature, comfort and thoughtful hosting come together.
Set halfway between Vík í Mýrdal and Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Hrífunes has long been a natural stopping point along Iceland’s South Coast. Travellers have passed through this region for generations, drawn by vast scenery and the quiet sense of distance that defines this part of the country.
The landscape is shaped by contrast. Glaciers and volcanoes meet black sand beaches, green valleys and wide horizons. It is a place where nature sets the pace and where silence is part of the experience.
The Fox Hostel grew from a desire to share this setting in a way that feels true to the place.

Before becoming the hostel, the building served as one of the largest sheep barns in South Iceland. Rather than replacing it, we chose to work with what was already here, allowing the structure to guide its transformation.
Inspired by Nordic building traditions and the simplicity of cabin living, the design brings together heritage and modern comfort through timber construction, natural materials and careful craftsmanship.
Many of the spaces where guests now sleep follow the original rhythm of the building, offering a quiet connection between past and present.
The hostel takes its name from the Arctic fox, often seen moving through the surrounding landscapes. Known for its adaptability and resilience, the fox reflects the spirit of this place. It is shaped by nature, responsive to change and deeply connected to its environment.
Today, The Fox Hostel welcomes travellers from around the world. Whether you arrive with friends, family or on your own, our aim is simple. We offer a place to pause, rest and experience the South Coast from a setting that feels both remote and comfortably connected.
