Forty-two spacious, stylish rooms line the lava field at this bungalow hotel. There’s a sunny sitting room, honesty bar, free afternoon waffles and the hotel contributes towards taxi transfers to Keflavík airport. The lagoon is only 1km away. The on-site Max's Restaurant boasts a smattering of Nordic fare, and floor-to-ceiling windows look out over lava and the steam-spewing geothermal plant.
Other attractions include the Aurora Float Machine, a pod you climb in for an unusual spa treatment (one float is 7000kr) and mountain bike rental (1000kr for one hour).
