Svansholl Apartments

Svansholl Apartments is a peaceful retreat in Iceland's Westfjords, offering comfort and scenic views in one of the country’s most untouched regions. Ideal for couples, families, and nature lovers, each apartment includes a private kitchen, modern amenities, and views of surrounding valleys and mountains. 

Location & Nearby

Svansholl Apartments is tucked away in the peaceful valley of Bjarnarfjordur along the Strandir Coast, a remote corner of Iceland’s Westfjords. Mountains rise around you, and a calm fjord stretches out below. 

Just steps from your apartment, you’ll find Gvendarlaug Hot Spring. Warm water bubbles up into a small stone pool, creating a peaceful place to soak under the open sky.

If you're in the mood for a hike, a trail leads up Lambatindur Mountain. You can see far across the valleys and fjords from the top, with only the sound of wind and birds around you.

About 16 miles (25 kilometers) south, Holmavik Village offers useful stops like a grocery store, gas station, restaurants, bank, and pharmacy. It’s also home to the Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft. Inside, you’ll discover stories of magic, spells, and Icelandic folklore, all connected to this mysterious region.

Even closer is the town of Drangsnes, just 14 miles (23 kilometers) away. Here, you can relax in oceanfront hot tubs carved into the shoreline. The warm water and salty sea breeze make it a one-of-a-kind experience. In summer, boat tours from the harbor take you to Grimsey Island, where puffins and seabirds nest along the cliffs.

Svansholl Apartments is 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Gjogur Airport, making it easy to reach this remote part of the Westfjords. Guests enjoy the mountain views and like its proximity to local sights, hot springs, and hiking areas. It's a great place to stay for nature trips.
