Today, Arnarstapi serves as a convenient point of entry to the breathtaking natural wonders and captivating mythological locations that define the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The charming village of Arnarstapi itself provides essential amenities, including easily accessible gas stations and a selection of inviting restaurants.
Furthermore, the unique geological formations in the immediate vicinity of Arnarstapi are a major draw for visitors. The remarkable natural stone arch of Gatklettur, a testament to the raw power of nature, is conveniently located just a short five-minute walk from the hotel. For those eager to explore further afield, the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain is a scenic forty-minute drive away, offering unparalleled photographic opportunities.

Beyond the stunning scenery, the area surrounding Arnarstapi is steeped in rich Icelandic folklore. A trip to Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge is highly recommended, as it is believed to be the final resting place of a young troll who met a tragic end. This intriguing location is only a five-minute drive from the hotel.

Accommodation options range from comfortable standard units to spacious suites and well-equipped apartments capable of accommodating larger groups of up to six individuals.

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.
