Nestled in the serene southern reaches of the breathtaking Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and a mere two-hour drive from the vibrant capital city of Reykjavík, lies Miðhraun, a charming family-operated hotel. Situated on a working farm, Miðhraun offers a tranquil escape in the very heart of Iceland’s picturesque countryside. Its location provides easy access to some of the region’s most captivating attractions, many of which are within an hour’s drive by car.
Embark on a memorable journey to the majestic Snæfellsjökull Glacier, a breathtaking natural wonder that dominates the landscape. Discover the quaint and charming village of Arnastapi, a haven of natural beauty and Icelandic charm. Marvel at the iconic arched rock formation known as Gatklettur, a testament to the raw power and artistry of nature. And experience the unique allure of the black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur, a place where history and natural beauty converge.
Miðhraun offers a diverse range of accommodations, including modern and comfortable rooms, spacious apartments, and charming houses, each thoughtfully equipped with the necessary amenities to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay in this somewhat remote area where dining options may be limited. Most of the hotel rooms provide access to a shared bathroom facility, promoting a sense of community and shared experience. The apartments and houses, on the other hand, are ideally suited for accommodating larger groups, comfortably hosting up to 15 people.
For those staying in the standard rooms, a conveniently located common kitchen area is available for meal preparation and socializing. The houses and apartments boast fully furnished kitchens, allowing guests to prepare their own meals with ease, as well as the added convenience of washing machines. Certain accommodations offer stunning mountain views, allowing guests to wake up to the beauty of the Icelandic landscape. All accommodations feature inviting patios, perfect for enjoying the fresh air and scenic surroundings, and the bathrooms are equipped with luxurious rainfall shower heads, ensuring a refreshing and invigorating experience.

Wifi – Check On RequestIceland
Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
