Hotel UMI is situated with gorgeous views of the notorious Eyjafjallajökull Volcano and surrounding Mountain range one way, and the Westman Islands in the Atlantic from the restaurant the other. This modern new hotel with 28 rooms is family run, with the inspiration for its materials and colours drawn from the surrounding Volcanic landscape.
Only 2 KM off the ring road, so very accessible, it feels as if it is in the middle of Icelandic Nature, perfectly situated midway between the 2 famous waterfalls on the South Coast, ideal for super-jeep adventures, and for accessing the black volcanic beaches. The restaurant is top notch and you are sure of a warm welcome. You have a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights from this hotel and the restaurant has huge windows to facilitate that.
