The church at Búðir

Hótel Búðir: A special place

I have not stayed at this hotel yet but heard nothing but good things about it. It is a very special hotel newly built after the old one burnt down.

Those of you who can afford to travel in a little style Hotel Búðir is a perfect place to stay at.

The hotel also has a luxorious dining room and makes a perfect location for a romantic dinner.

Unique Qualities: This hotel is situated at Búðir with amazinging surroundings. Iceland's largest golden sand beach and vast lava fields make together unique mixture.

The hotel is also close to various activities like hiking, riding, fishing, snowscooters etc.

Comparison: more expensive than average

Directions: Located at Búðir on the southern part of Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Price: US$120-180

The Campground at Hellnar - Snæfellsnes- og Hnappadalssýsla

The Campground at Hellnar

Hellnar: Beautiful campground

- update 2005 - * Unfortunately the campground at Hellnar has been closed. The surroundings of course have not changed and you can still book accommodation at the guesthoust - albeit a little more expensive than the campground was. Haven't stayed in their rooms but they sure look nice and this place is still highly recommended. The closest campground is at Arnarstapi (must see activities).

The campground at Hellnar is quiet and cosy and beautifully set. It has moderate facilities including showers.

The place also has sleepingbag accommodation and a guesthouse. It is run by a kind of a new-age family with emphasis on organic food, meditation and such.

If you are not into this new-age thing (I'm not) you shouldn't be deterred because the place is open to everyone.


Unique Qualities: The campground is set in extremely beautiful settings with interesting rock formations at the coast and amazing views of Snæfellsjökull glacier and Mt. Stapafell.

There are beautiful hiking paths in the vicinity and I can recommend walking along the coastline to Arnarstapi (3 km.)

Comparison: least expensive

Directions: Southern part of Snæfellsnes peninsula

Price: less than US$20
