Hotel Budir

Stylish boutique hotel set on a wildly romantic peninsula with snow capped volcanoes, lava fields and sandy shores Driving west for 2 hours from Reykjavik gets you to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Ridged by extinct volcanoes and towering waterfalls, this moonscape landscape provides a magical setting for Hotel Budir. Set beside a sandy shoreline and sweeping river estuary, Budir's 28 rooms have unspoilt views in every direction, whether it be across the moss-clad lava fields to the snow-capped Snaefekksnesjokull glacier or to its tiny solitary 19th century wooden chapel. The remoteness here is devastatingly romantic. No wonder Jules Verne set his "Journey to the centre of the Earth" here. Inside the atmosphere is a relaxing blend of traditional and Nordic chic: comfy sofas, antique prints and crackling log fires set against pale oak floors and sleek white and sage green walls. Go hiking, riding, snowmobiling, whale watching and in winter see the Northern Lights. You will also understand why Icelanders believe in elves with the endless surrounding rocky nooks and crannies - ideal homes for the "hidden people". read more and book at i-escape
