Hótel Djúpavík

Top choice in The Westfjords


This charming inn decorated with antiques is set on one of the most stunning bays in Iceland in a defunct herring factory's former women's dormitory. The vibe is warmly welcoming from the moment you step into its bustling ground-floor restaurant (mains 2000kr to 5000kr).

The signature dish is simply-cooked, free-range lamb sourced from two local farms. It's full of flavour, they'll tell you, because the sheep head to the beach to lick the salt.
