Iceland : Romantic Retreat

Departures: Year round Duration: 4 nights Price: from £386

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

Romantic Retreat

Jules Verne chose Snaefellsjokull as the setting for his 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' and for centuries creative folk have come here to seek solitude and inspiration in its peaceful, stunning 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 may be seen.

This delightful hotel, with 30 beautifully appointed rooms, is furnished in a traditional style and facilities include a candlelit dining room offering a gourmet menu created by an award-winning chef. Nearby is a quaint timber church whose history reflects the romance of its surrounds. Everything about the place is tranquil and the church is available for weddings and blessings. If you would like to know more about this picturesque church please do ask our office team for details if you are considering such a special occasion. During your stay, why not drive the famed Golden Circle route and visit its trio of natural wonders, explore the rugged coastline of Snaefellsnes or simply relax in a ‘home away from home’.

The ideal partner to Budir is Hotel Odinsve. This lovely 4 star property set in a quiet residential part of Reykjavik has been popular with our clients for many years. You can however substitute this hotel for any other of the properties we feature in Reykjavik.
