Please note that there is currently some ongoing work around the property and spa area due to delays. Our spa area is now expected to open in late 2026.

A forecast, not a promise. It updates every time you open this page, from NOAA space weather data and the hour by hour cloud forecast for the hotel's own beach.

Northern lights over the flat south coast

September to April

A dark beach facing north

No town lights between the hotel and the northern sky. Walk out of the lobby, onto the black sand, and look up.

Why here

The lights come to you

We wake you up

Reception keeps an eye on the forecast through the night and will call your room if the lights appear. Ask for a wake-up call when you check in.

No bus tour needed

The viewing spot is the beach in front of the hotel, a few steps from your room. No driving on dark roads, no waiting in a car park.

Warm up after

Dinner at ÓMUR from 18:00, then the bar is open until 23:00. Watch the sky from the window between courses.
