Hotels in West Iceland
West Iceland (Vesturland) is the country’s most underrated day-one destination: ninety minutes from Reykjavík you’re at Hraunfossar, where a whole river seeps out of a lava field, and Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Borgarfjörður’s saga country, Reykholt, and lava-tube caves fill out the map — with a fraction of the south coast’s traffic.
Where to stay: by the Hvítá river
The Hvítá Inn sits on the riverbank in Borgarbyggð — a relaxed, traditional inn with a restaurant and bar on site, trails out the door, and the waterfalls half an hour away. Prefer something you’ll be telling stories about? Hvítá Trucks, on the same site, is six rooms built into reclaimed military trucks.
