Hotels in North Iceland — What to Expect

Forget the crowds of the south. North Iceland is a raw, elemental landscape defined by volcanic power and deep fjords. The main draw is the otherworldly Lake Mývatn area, with its steaming geothermal fields, craters, and the milky-blue waters of the Mývatn Nature Baths. Further north, the fishing town of Húsavík is your gateway for whale watching, while the thunderous roar of Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, echoes across the highlands.

This region suits adventurous travelers, from couples on a scenic road trip to solo hikers exploring the trails of Ásbyrgi canyon. Having your own car is essential to reach the scattered sights along the Ring Road. For convenience, consider basing yourself in the charming town of Akureyri, Iceland’s second city, which has an airport with domestic flights. It offers good amenities and acts as a central hub for exploring the surrounding fjords and valleys.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 35 places to stay across the north. Accommodation ranges from simple guesthouses and farm stays in the countryside to comfortable hotels in Akureyri. Options near Lake Mývatn include modern hotels designed for geothermal heating and a few rustic lodges, providing a perfect base for days spent exploring the lava fields.
