"For quite a long time Iceland’s spectacular beauty was rather let down by its relatively ordinary hotels. Lately, however, a new movement is afoot, complementing this island nation’s sublime, unearthly landscapes with some equally inspiring modern architecture and design. And it doesn’t take much more than a glance at Umi Hotel to identify it as an example of exactly what we’re talking about." - Mark Fedeli

My boyfriend and I stayed at Umi during our first trip to Iceland for a short vacation. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was and spacious and clean and the towels were soft, fluffy and not bleached into a piece of sandpaper! The breakfast was wonderful with real coffee (not the kind that comes from a pod) plenty of fresh fruits and delicious pastry. The area around the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The highlights are the black sand beach that is within walking distance, and the curious ponies that graze nearby. Highly recommend!

Spectacular spot. Functionally private black sand beach 10 minutes from the hotel for great views. Being a cold weather creature I visited in December and had a perfect 2 nights. Staff was kind and attentive, rooms were simple but perfect for the setting. Highlight is the sauna room with a great view. Dinner was spectacular as were the drinks. Only critique I could possibly offer is that the eggs for breakfast tasted powdered but that did not detract from my 10/10 stay with them!

My husband and I had an incredible stay at UMI Hotel for the first two nights of our honeymoon in Iceland. The hotel was easy to find and the staff were kind, warm, and welcoming. It was the perfect secluded boutique hotel. Dinner our first night was incredible and we enjoyed trying a selection of the cuisine throughout our stay. The hotel had the perfect balance of public and private spaces. Our room was very comfortable and had a beautiful view we enjoyed lounging in bed on our first morning. I have already recommended this location to others I think would love the location and to experience Iceland.

The Umi Hotel exceeded every expectation, offering the perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Its ideal location, slightly 2.5 hours outside of Reykjavik, allowed us to easily explore the tranquility of South Iceland's serene surroundings.||||From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the hotel's warm and inviting atmosphere. Jacob and the dedicated staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was unforgettable. The other guests, sharing our passion for exploration and relaxation, created a delightful community within the hotel.||||The culinary breakfast and dinner offerings were equally impressive. A short walk led us to a hidden gem: a secluded black sand beach, where you felt the profound connection with nature's raw beauty.||||But the true highlight was the breathtaking Northern Lights, dancing across the night sky right from the hotel. It was a magical experience that we will cherish forever.

My husband and I stayed at Umi Hotel for two nights & absolutely loved it. The location is perfect for viewing the Northern Lights and seeing all of the sights along the southern coast. You can walk to the black sand beach from the hotel on a private road, you are surrounded with gorgeous mountain views & the staff will alert you when the Northern Lights are out. We were lucky enough to see them while we were there!! Our room was well appointed with one of the more comfortable beds we found on our trip & the food at the restaurant was delicious. Highly Recommend Umi Hotel for anyone wanting a central location along the Southern Coast!

What a beautiful hotel. Spent a few nights here and it was like a dream. The location is just so lovely. We walked the path to the beach and it was a nice easy walk. Recommend hiking shoe s / waterproof shoes as there are some soft areas. The breakfast was really good. So many options and really beautiful dining area. Friendly and helpful staff. We loved our stay at Umi and highly recommend it!

Had the pleasure of staying here for a few nights with my friend. Beautiful, very remote hotel with a limited number of rooms, scenic 360 views ideal for viewing the northern lights, great sauna and restaurant serving fresh Icelandic produce. We felt very rejuvenated upon checkout, can’t recommend enough!

Nice hotel without any other buildings around. Clean, comfy rooms. Wifi was working good all the times. Good breakfast, good dinner. You can walk to the beach in 15 minutes (no other people around). They have a small yoga room with some mats and weights. We managed to see the most beautiful northern lights here!
