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.

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.
