Magma Hotel & Bistro

Magma Hotel is a small and intimate hotel located in one of the most beautiful regions of south Iceland, close to Kirkjubæjarklaustur. The view from the hotel is unique–a lake rich with birdlife, moss covered lava fields, a black sand glacial river, as well as volcanoes and Vatnajökull glacier looming in the distance. It’s also the perfect place to catch a glimpse of the majestic northern lights in winter. Stay at Magma Hotel to relax and enjoy nature in a modern, yet charming atmosphere.

Our location and story behind it

1783- The deadliest volcanic eruption in human history and the start of the French revolution and modern democracy

The eruption shaped the region as lava flooded over a large area in Iceland creating a massive lava field named Eldhraun. This part of Iceland has unique natural wonders and there-fore we decided to build our hotel here.
