From walking on glaciers to basking in the midnight sun, a summer honeymoon in Iceland is magical. Or go in winter for the Northern Lights. Stop over in hip Reykjavik before heading to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the enchanting Hotel Budir with its wooden chapel if you fancy tying the knot Icelandic style.

Looking for somewhere unusual for your honeymoon? Situated just off the west coast, Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of the most magical and romantic places in Iceland. At its tip can be found Snaefellsjokull, a snow-capped volcano that has an irresistible lure, not just because of its breathtaking beauty but also because it is believed by locals to hold mysterious powers.
Visit this beautiful region and stay at the charming Hotel Budir, situated by a sandy estuary in view of amazing sea views and the stunning Snaefellsjokull glacier – it’s the perfect place to explore this beautiful area of the country. Hotel Budir is elegantly furnished and offers exceptional dining with gourmet cuisine created by an award-winning chef.
Start your honeymoon with one night in Reykjavik at the contemporary Hotel 101 (no relation!), the only member of the Design Hotels group in Iceland. Alternatively, go for the Art Deco style of the Hotel Borg, renowned for its great food. From here you can take time to explore the world’s most northerly capital city or perhaps take a dip in the world-famous Blue Lagoon before heading off west.
And don’t forget to gaze upwards during the winter months in the hope of catching a glimpse of the mesmerising northern lights. Stay at the Hotel Ranga for a good chance plus the opportunity to try your hand at salmon fishing, golf (with midnight tee times in the summer!) and smoked puffin.
