Luxury Travel to the Westfjords made for you

Iceland's rugged northwestern peninsula

In the remote northwest of Iceland, attached to the mainland by a narrow strip of land barely 10km wide, the Westfjords are one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and least-visited corners of Iceland.

Stretching out into the icy waters of the Denmark Strait and facing Greenland, the coastline is cut with deep fjords and mountains that plunge into the sea. On the edge of the Arctic Circle and subject to weather as extreme as the landscape, life here is hard but small settlements clinging to the coast and populated by tough and warm inhabitants that rely on the sea.

Luxury accommodation in Westfjords

There are many incredible places to stay in Westfjords. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Westfjords

Fosshotel Westfords

Fosshotel Westfords is located in the small fishing village of Patreksfjörður, the gateway to some of Iceland’s most impressive attractions. The hotel features 39 rooms and one suite with views over the fjord or the mountains. When you need to refuel after a day in the great outdoors, the restaurant and bar is the perfect place to relax. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to natural beauty with the Látrabjarg nesting cliff, famous for birdwatching, Dynjandi waterfall and the red sand beach of Rauðasandur all nearby.

Westfjords

Hotel Breidavik

Resting amongst the tranquil and scenic wild lands of the Icelandic West Fjords, Hotel Breidavik offers beautiful sea views and a picturesque setting from which to explore. Each of the 38 rooms come with amazing views of the surrounding fjords and there’s a tasty onsite restaurant to enjoy. Take your coffee or tea out on the terrace while contemplating an exciting day of touring ahead. On your doorstep you’ll find a wide, long, golden beach adorned with dunes and winding streams. Drive half an hour from the hotel and you’ll come to the Latrabjarg Bird Cliff where you’ll see puffins darting and swooping, close enough to touch.
