UMI Hotel, closer to nature on Iceland's South Coast
A boutique hotel at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull, 150 km from Reykjavík. Large windows frame the glacier and the Atlantic, a path leads to our private black sand beach, and Skógafoss is a short drive away. Awarded a MICHELIN Key in 2025 and 2026. Slow down. Breathe. Welcome.

Two years running.
UMI received a MICHELIN Key in 2025 and again in 2026. The Key marks hotels the Guide considers a very special stay.
