A Taste Of Luxury Under The Aurora

Soak up some of Iceland’s most iconic sights whilst enjoying the comfort of one of its most luxurious properties. The tumbling waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss are but a short, easy drive away, as are Dyrholaey’s black sand beaches edged by crashing, white foaming waves. Explore the trio of sights known as the Golden Circle and catch the best view of Langjökull Glacier there is to be had from a snowmobile. By night enjoy the gastronomic delights and tranquil surroundings of your elegant abode.
DAY 1 - Grimnes
Arrive at Keflavik airport, collect your hire car and drive to Hotel Grimsborgir, lying in the shadow of Mount Hengil and your home for the following 3 nights. Dine at the hotel restaurant before retiring to look out for the Northern Lights on your deck or in a hot tub.
DAY 2 - South Coast
After a hearty breakfast, we suggest driving along the south coast to Dyrholaey and on to the promontory from where you will have beaches. Return via Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, two of Iceland’s picturesque waterfalls, one of which you can walk under. Continue to Eyrarbakki with its weatherboard houses and perhaps a lobster supper at Vid Fjorubordid before returning to the welcoming arms of the Hotel Grimsborgir.
DAY 3 - Golden Circle
Take a short walk around the 3,000 year old Kerid crater before heading to the Geysir area. Here Strokkur spouts impressively every 5-10 minutes and there are steaming fumaroles and hot springs powers down a staircase of falls eventually plummeting down a 32m drop. Fill your afternoon with some glacier snowmobiling on Langjokull or visit Thingvellir National Park, Iceland’s ultimate historical, cultural and geological site.
DAY 4 - Reykjavik
After an unhurried morning drive back to Reykjavik you will have ample time to enjoy the cities museums and galleries or perhaps an evening Northern Lights excursion. Overnight at the Hotel Centrum.
DAY 5 - UK  
Make the most of your last morning in Iceland and stop off at the Blue Lagoon for a relaxing soak in the milky blue waters, before returning your car at the airport in time for your flight home.
Centrum Hotel
Centrum Hotel
A stylish modern hotel with an exterior sympathetically in keeping with the surrounding clapboard buildings. It is located in a quiet enclave in the heart of the old city close to restaurants and shops. During construction of the property the remains of a Viking longhouse from the Settlement period, along with Iceland’s oldest human remains, were found. These now form part of an exhibition in the hotel

Hotel Grimsborgir
Hotel Grimsborgir
Hotel Grimsborgir is Olafur Laufdal and Kristin Ketilsdottir’s homage to Nordic chic and design. Each hotel room and apartment has been individually crafted by the couple and staying there is akin to being invited into their home. Just 1½ hours. drive from Keflavik International Airport, the hotel is set in splendid isolation on the banks of the River Sog. The unassuming exterior conceals an absolute gem, which has deservedly won TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence three years in a row. Each designer room benefits from its own deck and has access to a number of hot tubs. Upgrade to a 2-bedroomed deluxe studio or 4-bedroomed villa and you will have your own kitchen/diner, ‘grounds’ and private hot tub. Where possible, Olafur even ensures that your national flag is flying outside your abode. The restaurant menu focuses on locally sourced products including salmon, trout and cod and there is often musical entertainment that reaches through into the bar area, complete with open fireplace and wing-backed chairs.
