SalthĆŗs Guesthouse in Skagastrƶnd ā A Peaceful Icelandic Retreat
This was our second time staying at SalthĆŗs Guesthouse, and it continues to be a hidden gem in Iceland. The drive there alone is breathtaking, with stunning views of the landscape. The guesthouse is located near a cliff where you can gaze out at the vast oceanāif youāre lucky, itās a perfect spot to photograph the aurora borealis. However, keep in mind that itās a windy area.
A short drive away is KĆ”lfshamarsvĆk, home to a square-shaped lighthouse surrounded by green grass and basalt columns along the sea. Itās an amazing spot for photos and a must-see for nature lovers.
The guesthouse itself offers comfortable beds and clean, spacious rooms. The two-story building is beautiful, but I recommend contacting the property if you have difficulty with stairs.
For those who love nature and want to escape the crowds, this remote location is perfect. The peace and serenity youāll feel here are truly unique. Since there arenāt many dining options nearby, be sure to stop at a grocery store and take advantage of the guesthouseās fully equipped kitchen. Alternatively, the B&S restaurant is a 20-minute drive away, and thereās a nearby seasonal restaurant within walking distance.
If youāre seeking tranquility and a beautiful setting, SalthĆŗs Guesthouse is the place to be.
