HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Umi Hotel sits on Iceland’s south coast between the ocean and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, surrounded by open landscape and wide views. It feels peaceful and remote, with a clean, modern design that keeps the focus on nature rather than decoration. Many rooms look out toward the mountains or the coast, and the whole place has a calm, easygoing atmosphere that suits the setting. Guests can walk straight down to the black-sand beach from the hotel, enjoy Icelandic dishes in the restaurant or relax in the lounge with views of the cliffs and volcano. It’s a great base for exploring the waterfalls, glaciers and coastline of South Iceland while still having a comfortable place to return to in the evening.
The landscape is the real luxury here, endless coastlines, mountains, black-sand beaches, and a quiet hotel that gives you the space to take it all in.

Skogar, Iceland
Skógar is a tiny village in southern Iceland, best known for the spectacular Skógafoss waterfall that thunders down just a short walk away. The landscape around it is wild and dramatic, with green cliffs, black sand beaches, and glacier views all within easy reach. It’s a peaceful place to stay while exploring some of Iceland’s most iconic sights. Skógar feels quiet, beautiful, and a little bit otherworldly in the best way.
Iceland
Iceland feels like a country shaped by the elements, with volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, and endless open landscapes that change with every mile. You can soak in natural hot springs, wander black sand beaches, watch geysers erupt, or stand beneath cliffs where puffins nest in summer. Even its small towns feel cosy and welcoming against the vastness of the scenery. It’s a place where nature takes centre stage and every day brings something unforgettable.
