A Hotel Shaped by the Land

We believe that luxury doesn’t have to be loud.

Here, comfort lives in the small things: a well-made

bed, a soft-lit room, a wide window with nothing but sea and sky beyond it.

Located in the Ölfus region, just 40 minutes from Reykjavík, Black Sand Hotel offers a quiet retreat with 79 carefully designed rooms. Our goal is simple — to create a space where nature leads, and people can truly slow down.


Every part of the hotel is inspired by the elements around us: volcanic sand, raw textures, and the softness of the South Coast horizon. With Icelandic craftsmanship and Scandinavian design, we’ve built something modern, but grounded.

Hospitality, Our Way

To us, good hospitality is about space — to breathe, to pause, to feel at ease.
We welcome guests from all over the world, and we hope you leave feeling more connected to Iceland — and maybe to yourself.

Welcome to Black Sand Hotel

Black Sand Hotel was born from a simple idea: that true luxury is quiet. It’s in the feel of a well-made bed, the glow of soft light at the end of the day, the silence of the sea meeting the horizon.

We’ve built this hotel on the edge of Iceland’s South Coast, just 40 minutes from Reykjavík, where the raw beauty of the land invites stillness. With a restaurant, bar, spa, and thoughtfully appointed rooms and suites, every space is shaped by the elements, from volcanic sand and rough textures to crashing waves and calm moments.

Inside, comfort meets the rhythm of the landscape. Warm design, curated details, and understated music create a peaceful contrast to the world outside. Our hospitality is quietly personal. We offer the kind of welcome that feels natural, where every guest is genuinely cared for.

It’s an honour to open our doors and share this with you. If you’re planning a visit, curious to learn more, or just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.

See you by the sea,

Óskar Vignisson
