UMI Hotel rests at the foot of one of South Iceland’s most striking mountain ranges, within close reach of a powerful waterfall that draws visitors from across the region.
The setting alone justifies the stay.
Rooms lean into a quiet, minimalist design, letting the surrounding landscape take centre stage rather than competing with it. As a country hotel, UMI keeps its focus on space and stillness, offering easy access to some of South Iceland’s most dramatic natural scenery without the crowds found closer to Reykjavik. It is a base built for exploring rather than lingering indoors.
Few hotels in the region pair location and calm as effectively as UMI, and it does so without unnecessary excess.

Dining
UMI Hotel keeps its dining offering focused and uncomplicated, with breakfast and evening meals served on site using locally sourced Icelandic ingredients. The restaurant favors a short, seasonal menu over an extensive one, giving guests a straightforward option after a day spent exploring South Iceland’s waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches, without needing to drive back toward Reykjavik for dinner.
Wellness
UMI Hotel favors simplicity over spa facilities, with calm, minimalist rooms designed to let guests unwind after a day spent exploring South Iceland’s mountains and waterfalls. Large windows throughout the property frame views of the surrounding countryside, while the quiet, low-key atmosphere and absence of crowds make it an easy place to slow down between stops on a South Iceland road trip.
Location
Set at the foot of one of South Iceland’s most notable mountain ranges, UMI Hotel is close to Seljalandsfoss and other major waterfalls along the South Coast, making it a convenient base for exploring the region’s glaciers, beaches, and hiking trails. Its position away from the busier areas closer to Reykjavik makes it well suited to travellers touring the Ring Road or planning a longer South Iceland itinerary.
