Location & Nearby
Guesthouse Holmar is located almost halfway between the magnificent Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and dramatic Mount Vestrahorn, the last site of the South Coast sightseeing route and first site of the Eastfjords. It is just 40 minutes from the former and 30 from the latter. As such, guests travelling the Ring Road, which it sits on, will find it a perfect pitstop between these two regions.

The guesthouse is located within view of the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajokull. This spectacular ice cap will form a mystical backdrop to those who wish to embark on one of the hiking routes in the area.
