Laid-back stay on Lake Myvatn
If you’re looking to explore all that northern Iceland has to offer, why not base yourself at Fosshotel Myvatn? Idyllic comes to mind when thinking of the setting here, which is just a 15-minute walk from the shores of Lake Myvatn, and just four minutes’ drive from the nearby village of Reykjahlid.
Fancy getting up close and personal with the rugged landscape? Pack your hiking boots and you can take full advantage of the trails that wind their way through the countryside. If two wheels and a saddle is more your vibe, bike rental is available from reception, so you can explore on your own terms.
For an activity on the more subdued end of the scale, head to nearby Myvatn Nature Baths, which are about a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Relax in the steam baths, grab a coffee in the on-site café, or just take a minute to soak up the sweeping views. From there you’ll be just a short drive from the Hverir Geothermal Area and Námafjall Mountain, too, so why not tick those off your list as well?
After a busy day of exploring, head back to the hotel and unwind in the restaurant. Tuck into classic Nordic eats prepared using fresh local fare. And to top it all off, you’ll be treated to a stellar lake view while you eat.
