Nine Cabins by the Fjord

There is something about Flateyri that invites you to slow down

The mountains rise close by, the fjord is always within reach, and each day is shaped by the light, the weather and whatever you feel like doing.

At Vagninn Cabins, you have a private cabin of your own, with plenty of space to spend quality time together. Cook a meal, unwind after a day of exploring and wake up ready for a new adventure in the Westfjords.

And when the evening comes, Vagninn, the village restaurant and live-music venue, is only a short walk away.

About us

Six people, three couples, one shared love for Flateyri

We are six people from the worlds of film, sport, hospitality, business and live events, brought together by a shared love for Flateyri.

The six owners of Vagninn Cabins celebrating in front of the cabins

Several of us have owned and operated Vagninn since 2017. Through concerts, dinners and community events, we kept seeing the same thing: people loved coming to Flateyri, but there were too few places for them to stay. The nine cabins on Melagata felt like the missing piece.

With Vagninn Cabins, our aim is to offer more than a bed for the night: the space and time to experience Flateyri properly, and perhaps to stay one day longer than planned.
