Nestled at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, Skálakot Manor feels less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautifully appointed Icelandic countryside home. The family-owned estate is best known for its Icelandic horses, and horseback riding here is a must—whether you're trotting through rolling green fields, along black-sand beaches, or beneath some of the country’s most dramatic mountain scenery. The team can also arrange private adventures throughout South Iceland, from glacier hikes and waterfall excursions to exploring hidden corners of the region that many visitors never see. After a day outdoors, return to the manor for cozy fires, exceptional farm-to-table dining, and the kind of warm hospitality that makes it difficult to leave.
