Black Sand Hotel
Ölfus, Iceland · Independent · March 2026



Black Sand Hotel sits on Iceland’s South Coast in the Ölfus region, where the Atlantic shoreline, dark volcanic sand and broad coastal light define the setting. The hotel is designed as a quiet, contemporary retreat, with Scandinavian interiors, natural textures and wide windows oriented toward the ocean, the Ölfusá River or the surrounding landscape. Accommodation ranges from compact king and twin rooms to spacious junior, deluxe, executive and signature suites, with thoughtful in-room comforts and selected views of sea, river and mountains. Dining is centred on ÓMUR, the hotel restaurant, where Icelandic ingredients are presented in a modern Nordic style, while the bar and room-service options add flexibility throughout the day. The property works well as a calm base for exploring South Iceland’s beaches, waterfalls and glacier country, while its immediate surroundings reward slower walks and unhurried evenings.
