South coast lodge

Hot pools, big windows, and the glacier across the plain.

A lodge on Iceland's south coast with hot pools, a good kitchen, and glacier walks a short drive away.

Chosen for position and warmth. The glacier is visible from the window, the hot pools are outside, and a weather day is still a good day.

Why we like it

What makes South coast lodge work

  • A base for the waterfalls, glaciers and black beaches of the south without changing hotels every night.
  • Large windows and dark skies for the northern lights in winter.
  • Family rooms and a restaurant that suits children after a long day outdoors.

Good to know

Before you decide

  • Winter brings short days and the lights; summer brings midnight sun and easier roads.
  • A private guide and 4x4 are how we plan Iceland; distances and weather make it worth it.
  • Glacier walks suit children from about eight with the right guide and equipment.
