Romantic Retreat

Introduction

The Snaefellsnes Peninsula, off the west coast of the island, is one of the most magical and romantic places in Iceland. At its tip is majestic Snaefellsjokull, a snowcapped volcano that has an irresistible lure, not least because it is breathtakingly beautiful but also because it is believed to hold mysterious powers.

Jules Verne chose Snaefellsjokull as the setting for his 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' and for centuries, writers and artists have come here to seek solitude and inspiration in its peaceful surrounds.

Hotel Budir is situated in full view of the volcano by a sandy river estuary. It stands at the edge of a moss-clad lava bed whose hollows and crevices shelter a wealth of ferns and wild flowers during the summer months. Along the shoreline, many birds and sometimes seals can be observed.

This charming hotel, with 30 beautifully appointed rooms, is furnished in a traditional style and facilities include a candlelit dining room offering an imaginative gourmet menu, featuring local specialities created by an award-winning chef. Nearby is a tiny timber church, whose history reflects the romance of its surrounds and everything about the place is relaxing and intimate. This is available for weddings and blessings so do ask our office team for details if you are considering such a special occasion. During your stay, why not visit the ‘ Golden Circle’ region with its famous sites and explore the rugged coastline of Snaefellsnes or simply relax in a ‘home away from home’.
