Meet Your Hosts

We are Salóme and Óli, and we live at the farm Hvammból along with our children and two dogs. Along with running the guesthouse Hvammból Apartments we also raise cows and sheep, grow strawberries, and care for the fields around the home. Both natives of Vík, we’re eager to introduce our hometown to the world. We think Hvammból and the surrounding area is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We’re sure you’ll agree once you’ve seen it for yourself.  

Sightseeing and surroundings

The southern coast of Iceland is the most popular region with foreign visitors because of its dramatic scenery and natural splendour. Hvammból Apartments location just 12 kilometres west of the village of Vík puts us at the centre of sightseeing while still giving you access to shopping and museums. Waterfalls, wildlife, and historic areas are just a short drive, walk, or horse ride away from our home.

Reynisfjara black beach

The Black Beach (Reynisfjara) is one of the most popular tourist spots in all of Iceland. It showcases a variety of unique and amazing rock formations, vibrant bird-life, spectacular views of the Dyrhólaey sea arches and- of course- black sand! The Black Beach is a 10-15 minute drive east of the guesthouse.

Dyrhólaey

The Dyrhólaey promontory has dramatic sea arches, wild-life preserve and lighthouse. It’s a popular spot for birdwatchers and the view from the top is extraordinary! Dyrhólaey is only a 5-10 minute drive from the Hvammból Guesthouse and the lighthouse can be seen from the property.

Víkurkirkja Church

This church is an iconic building in Vík, 12 kilometers to the east of Hvammból Guesthouse. The church hill offers an unparalleled view of the village, ocean and the surrounding area. It also serves as a local concert venue.

Great location!

This is a great location! Very close to the black sand beaches and only 15 minutes from Vik. Check in was very easy, the hosts communicated very quickly with us, and we loved staying here for two days on our trip. Overall a great place to stay for exploring the south western part of Iceland.

Had everything we needed!

Wonderful place to stay for those exploring the south coast. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hosts were kind enough to let us use their washing machine when we had spilt on it during our travels.

Super clean and warm

I have been working on a photo book of Iceland for 3 years and always stay here when there is space. A wonderful family with enchanting children and very friendly cat and dog.

A working farm, it is the perfect location outside of Vik and without the town’s light pollution so perfect for Aurora Borealis watching. Just minutes from the famous black sands beach and the cliff top lighthouse too.

The cabins are super clean and warm and a great base to visit the many sights around here.

Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, easy to find, and perfect for our one-night stopover in Vik. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Great views, and good communication. We would definitely stay here again!

Great hosts

Overall this little apartment met our needs while staying in Vik and the host was very kind and quick to respond to our questions. It is a clean space with some nice infographics on fun things to do in the area. The water out of the faucet is super cold and refreshing for drinking although we noticed we had to take short showers to conserve hot water. Great location for seeing the sites in the south!
