Urðartindur

Top choice in The Westfjords


Unobstructed fjord views grace these simple, modern guesthouses with private bathrooms and refrigerators – the best have balconies looking onto a black-sand beach. Two cottages (from 23,400kr) each sleep up to four; camping (sites per adult/child 1350kr/free) is possible here too.

Ask the owners about a secret hiking path that leads to a hidden lake.
