Idyllic escape near the shores of Lake Myvatn
Surrounded by swathes of raw, pristine Icelandic nature, just a few steps away from the shores of Lake Myvatn, this quirky, laid-back hotel makes an idyllic base for exploring this breathtakingly beautiful part of the country.
From here, it’s less than a 10-minute drive to the Myvatn Nature Baths, Hverir Geothermal Area and the Dimmuborgir Lava Field, so you could hardly pick a more convenient spot to base yourself for exploring the must-see sights in the spectacular Myvatn region. As the hotel is right on the Diamond Circle route, it also makes a fantastic base for day trips to other major attractions such as Asbyrgi Canyon, Dettifoss waterfall and Husavik (the whale watching capital of Iceland).
At Mylla Restaurant, expect delicious Icelandic cuisine with a contemporary twist, while the next door Gamli Bærinn offers a cosy environment for pub classics. There’s also a bar where you can enjoy drinks by the fireplace, with a daily happy hour between 4pm-6pm.
Given the lack of light pollution in the area, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting the Northern Lights here if the skies are clear – so be prepared to venture out at any time once it gets dark if an aurora borealis display kicks off.

Find out more about Myvatn
A volcanic wonderland sprawling across 37 square kilometres in the far north of Iceland, the Mývatn region is a place of unique natural beauty that’s home to the fourth largest lake in the country. The waters here are shallow, just four metres at their deepest, while its tiny islands are inhabited by an abundance of wildlife. A sparsely populated and perfectly serene place, the main settlement is Reykjahlíð – a tiny village of just 230 inhabitants – on the northern shores of Lake Mývatn.
