UMI Hotel 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.
UMI Hotel


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.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
