Luxury holidays in Ölfus Region

When to go

The limited light pollution in Ölfus Region makes it a favoured spot for Northern Lights sightings — your best chance is between September and April. Summer's midnight sun makes days long and balmy, ideal for hiking and kayaking.

Getting there

• Planes

  Keflavik International Airport is typically under 90 minutes’ drive from the region.

• Automobiles
