Insider connections with local hosts for an authentic, immersive stay.

Set on the remote edge of Iceland’s untouched east coast, Blábjörg Resort offers a rare glimpse into one of the country’s most unspoilt regions. In the tiny fishing village of Borgarfjörður Eystri, this intimate, family-run retreat blends authentic Icelandic charm with a quietly luxurious feel.
Rooms are simple yet thoughtfully designed, many with sweeping views across dramatic fjords and rugged mountains. The atmosphere is warm and personal, with a strong sense of place woven throughout, from locally inspired interiors to the welcoming hospitality of its owners.
What truly sets Blábjörg apart is its setting. Far from the crowds, this is a haven for nature lovers and those seeking solitude. Spend your days hiking through wild landscapes, spotting puffins along the cliffs in summer, or witnessing the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights in winter. After a day of exploration, unwind in the geothermal spa, where outdoor hot tubs and a sauna frame unforgettable views of the surrounding wilderness.
Dining is a highlight, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients celebrating the flavours of the Eastfjords, served in a cosy restaurant that reflects the region’s heritage.
Blábjörg Resort is not about ostentation, but about connection to nature, to culture, and to a slower pace of life. For those in search of something truly off the beaten path, it offers an experience that feels both deeply grounding and quietly extraordinary.
