Set halfway… ## 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. ## Location Hrífunesvegur, 1 Vik, Iceland Coordinates: 63.63920133860371, -18.51017173609041 ## Facilities - Wi-fi — Facilities - 24-hour reception — Facilities - Car park — Facilities - Secure parking — Facilities - Restaurant — Catering - Wheelchair-accessible — Facilities - Bar (extra charge) — Catering - Breakfast room — Catering - Electric kettle — Facilities - Toaster — Facilities - Towels and bed linen — Facilities ## Room options ### Bed in dormitory COMFORT Up to 1 guests. 1 × Single bed 80-130 width Shower; Hairdryer; Kitchen; Wheelchair-accessible; Wi-fi; 220V power supply; Shared bathroom ### Bed in dormitory DELUXE Up to 1 guests. 1 × Double bed 131-150 width Shared bathroom; Kitchen; Wi-fi; Hairdryer ### Bed in dormitory CLASSIC Up to 1 guests. 1 × Double bed 131-150 width Dishwasher; 220V power supply; Wi-fi; Wheelchair-accessible; Fridge; Kitchen; Hairdryer; Electric Kettle ## Property photos - [The Fox Hostel, photo 1](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_a_001_20260922_174059.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 2](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_a_002_20260922_174100.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 3](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_a_003_20260922_174118.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 4](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_001_20260922_174448.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 5](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_002_20260922_174449.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 6](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_003_20260922_174450.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 7](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_004_20260922_174450.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 8](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_005_20260922_174451.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 9](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_006_20260922_174522.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 10](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_007_20260922_174522.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 11](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_008_20260922_174523.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 12](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_009_20260922_174524.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 13](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_010_20260922_174524.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 14](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_011_20260922_174652.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 15](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_012_20260922_174653.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 16](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_013_20260922_174656.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 17](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_014_20260922_174657.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 18](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_015_20260922_174658.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 19](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_016_20260930_072926.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 20](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_017_20260930_073010.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 21](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_018_20260930_073011.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 22](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_019_20260930_073011.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 23](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_020_20260930_073013.jpg) - [The Fox Hostel, photo 24](https://photos.hotelbeds.com/giata/bigger/11/1127639/1127639a_hb_ro_021_20260930_073014.jpg) ## Before you confirm Room configuration, meals, cancellation terms, prices and availability are checked with your selected offer in Nowah.
