Description
The Hali Country Hotel is a magical choice of accommodation for those travelling along the South Coast. With its proximity to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and wealth of modern, comfortable rooms and apartments, travelling groups of all sizes will find it a fantastic base.
Location & Nearby
Hali Country Hotel is located in the Hornafjörður area of Southeast Iceland. Jökulsárlón / Diamond Beach is about 14 km away by road, Höfn about 52 km, and Skaftafell about 70 km. The Hali Country Hotel is located just 15 minutes from Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, a feature so beautiful that many have dubbed it ‘the crown jewel of Iceland’s nature’. In spite of its popularity, it is on the far side of the South Coast from Reykjavik, making a return journey here within a day rushed and often uncomfortable.
The Hali Country Hotel is thus a great place to retire after a much more slow-paced and enjoyable tour of this region, whether you plan to return to the capital in a day or two or to continue onto the Southeast Iceland as part of a Ring Road adventure.
Being close to Jokulsarlon is fantastic, as many guests wish to visit the site several times. The Hali Country Hotel is, however, is only around an hour from other stunning attractions, such as the Skaftafell Nature Reserve to the east and Mount Vestrahorn to the west.
In terms of amenities such as groceries, post offices and banks, the nearest town is Hofn, which is 50 minutes away.
