Fisherman’s Village – Seaside Hotel in Álftanes, Iceland

Discover a different side of Iceland at Fisherman’s Village — a peaceful seaside retreat surrounded by breathtaking nature, yet only 15 minutes from Reykjavík.

Wake up by the ocean, unwind in our outdoor hot tubs and sauna, and on clear winter nights, watch the Northern Lights dance above the village.

Tucked away near the President of Iceland’s residence, Fisherman’s Village is the perfect base for exploring Reykjavík and Iceland’s most unforgettable sights — while enjoying the peace, charm and beauty of the Icelandic coast.

Fisherman’s Village is a family-owned seaside retreat, just 15 minutes from Reykjavík. Inspired by Iceland’s traditional fishing huts, the village blends rustic Nordic charm with modern comfort, creating a peaceful hideaway surrounded by ocean, open skies and untouched nature.

Wake up to the sound of the sea, explore scenic coastal paths and rich birdlife, then unwind in our outdoor hot tubs and sauna. During the darker months, you may even be lucky enough to watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky — right from the village.

With only 24 rooms, Fisherman’s Village offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Choose from charming Standard and Superior rooms or our spacious Family Room with its own private hot tub, terrace and infrared sauna.

Perfect for couples, families and small groups, it’s a place to slow down, experience Icelandic nature and enjoy the feeling of being far away — while Reykjavík is only minutes away.

Highly recommended! To spot the Northern Lights and enjoy the thermal waters

The village and the accommodation recreate the impression of being in a fishing village, right by the sea. The stay was more than comfortable and even fun when it was cold outside to bathe in the very hot water coming from the geysers! (Two hot tubs and a sauna are on the terrace available to all guests.)

The best stay during our 10 days holiday.

Room was clean, comfortable bed, and enough space. Exterior so cute! Location amazing, in 13 min you can reach city!

We’ve spotted the best Aurora here, enjoyed sunset and sunrise directly from the room.

Sauna and hot tub were great bonus and we had a great time. Just a few room been occupied and we actually felt like we had all place for ourselves! We will be back again for sure!

Favorite stay of our week-long trip!

Great views, northern lights, very clean, wonderful hot tub and sauna on the rooftop that is shielded from the wind but able to look out over the coast. Loved it all. Would definitely stay here again.

We will return

Exceptional location 15 minutes from Reykjavik. A corner of absolute tranquility facing the ocean. Cozy rooms. Even though there is no reception, the facility has always responded quickly to our requests. And we even saw the Northern Lights from their outdoor tank.

A dream come true...

The day we arrived we saw the Northern LightsThe sea so close and its soothing sound... EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL

Everything was perfect!!!

The accommodation was full of charm, the location at the end of the peninsula, the peace and quiet, and the communication with the managers!

Really lovely stay and we went back at the end of our stay and upgraded rooms which was so worth it just to sit outside

This is a beautiful property for those who love nature and want peace and quiet. It is a good base within easy travelling distance from the airport and Reykjavik. The rooms are well appointed and have character. We saw the northern lights from outside our room and saw seals and wild birds in the waters surrounding the property.

Exceptional accommodation in a prime location

Absolutely beautiful location! Great room, spotlessly clean. Everything is so original and lovingly designed, we were thrilled and would love to come back again! Check-in was also very straightforward!

Ideal location by car

Nice location outside of Reykjavik. Car absolutely necessary. Also good for observing the Northern Lights, as the view is towards the southeast without city lights. Beautiful furnishings with a maritime flair. Uncomplicated Check-in and check-out.

This is a hidden gem

Close to Reykjavik but still feels isolated, has beautiful views of the ocean, and large, clean, and comfortable room. Could’ve stayed there for far longer. Highly recommend.

Easy drive into the city and also a great way to get to the airport

Location is cool … right out on the peninsula. Rooms are modern with old world charm.

It was wonderful!

The facilities were clean and amazing. The environment was spectacular. The staff was friendly and understanding and sweet. Would book here again. The showers were very nice and the linens were very comfortable.

I opened the curtains and was greeted by a breathtaking ocean view

Our first day in Iceland was overcast, and by 9:00 PM, it was quite cold. After checking in, I stepped into the room, which was warm and comfortable. The decor was relaxing, and I had a good night's rest. The next morning, I opened the curtains and was greeted by a breathtaking ocean view. Perhaps it would have been better to stay overnight on the second day of my trip.

Perfect first night in Iceland. Would stay again.

We stayed our first night after flying in from the U.S. the beds were so comfortable and we were refreshed and refueled for our Iceland visit.

Everything is wonderful

It is located not far from the city center, but it is a quiet place with a wonderful view. The room was very comfortable and the sauna and jacuzzi were also fabulous.

Excellent

The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed seeing the northern lights and listening to the waves. The surrounding black, volcanic rock beach was beautiful. We saw many sea birds there, including an oyster catcher. I’m not sure how many rooms would have this feature, but we could hear the waves from our window.

This hotel went above

This hotel went above and beyond to help us when we came with a recent school group. Thank you so much and highly recommended. Rooms are cosy and food is great in a beautiful setting.

Make your gathering truly special in the unique surroundings of Fisherman’s Village.

Our seaside restaurant is exclusively available for private groups of up to 80 guests, offering an intimate and memorable setting just steps from the ocean.

Perfect for private celebrations, corporate dinners, tour groups and special occasions, we combine warm Icelandic hospitality with authentic surroundings and beautiful coastal views.

Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a larger celebration, Fisherman’s Village offers something truly different — your own private dining experience by the sea, just 15 minutes from Reykjavík.
