Iceland Day 3 - Magma Hotel

Nordic Advisor had upgraded us to the beautiful Magma Hotel for this evening. It is located about 5 miles off the Ring Road in a secluded area.


Our rooms were located in these individual cabins. They look deceptively rustic on the outside.


Each cabin had a traditional turf roof, which was pretty cool!


Each cabin was named after a volcano in Iceland. Ours was named after the volcano that erupted in 2010 and disrupted airspace in Europe for a number of days.


Although the exterior of the cabins looked rustic, the inside was stunning! We had a standard and a deluxe room, both of which were lovely! I was lucky enough to stay in the deluxe room which had an incredible view of a glacial river surrounded by mossy lava hills. These were the nicest rooms that we had in Iceland - they had both comfort and a view!


The gorgeous view from the deck outside our room.


At midnight, the dusky view of the midnight sun.


Breakfast was served in the lovely dining room in the main reception building. It had a wonderful variety of foods including pancakes, smoked salmon, and warm bread. 

We truly enjoyed staying at the Magma Hotel.
