Black Sand Beach is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Vik I Myrdal. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Black Beach, Reynisdrangar, and Dyrhólaey to fully experience what the area has to offer.

8.2/10 Very Good! (114 reviews)
Even though the property is located in quite a remote area, it’s very well maintained and offers great value for the price. The cleanliness and upkeep really stood out. I was especially pleased to find that the breakfast included a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options. A great choice if you don’t mind a quieter, off-the-beaten-path location and valley of tears and other breathtaking locations are also close to this spot. The only caveat is you need to let the hotel know about the late checkin and sometimes they dont pick up phone being short staffed.
