Explore Hotels in Iceland

The magnificent landscape of Iceland is both humbling and electrifying. Vast expanses of black volcanic rock stretch towards the horizon, interrupted by steaming thermal springs and glittering glaciers that carve through the terrain. Nature here feels gloriously untamed, dramatic, powerful, and constantly in motion.

And is this trembling scenery safe? Not entirely. Just 19 miles from Reykjavík, the Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted for six months in 2021, drawing curious travellers eager to witness rivers of molten lava reshape the earth in real time. In Iceland, fire and ice coexist spectacularly.

The country is also one of the world’s premier destinations for Northern Lights seekers. Our luxury hotels in Nesjavellir and Hella offer peaceful, design-led sanctuaries — perfect for waiting on the call that the aurora is dancing overhead. For the best chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis, plan your visit between September and March, when dark skies heighten the display.

As always, our intrepid team continues to review Iceland’s most characterful boutique hotels in search of the next award-winning stay.
