Why Staying Multiple Nights Matters

In Westfjords and West Iceland, a longer stay transforms a whirlwind visit into a life-changing adventure. By booking several nights at Ourhotels.is, you give yourself time to unwind, explore at a relaxed pace, and truly soak in Iceland’s dramatic landscapes.

Connect More Deeply with the Landscape

A two- or three-night stay allows you to:

  • Catch both sunrise and sunset over glacier-carved fjords
  • Discover hidden hiking trails when crowds are low
  • Spot wildlife—Arctic foxes, seals and seabirds—at dawn

Explore a Variety of Activities

From hot springs to charming fishing villages, multi-night guests can enjoy:

  • Geothermal spas beneath the midnight sun
  • Boat tours around the Westfjords coastline
  • Guided glacier walks and ice-cave adventures
  • Local food tastings in Borgarfjörður and beyond

Practical Travel Tips

  • When to go: Summer (June–August) for 24-hour daylight; winter (November–March) for Northern Lights.
  • What to pack: Waterproof layers, sturdy hiking boots, a warm hat and gloves, swimwear for hot springs.
  • How long to stay: Aim for at least three nights to balance sightseeing and downtime.
