Welcome to Djúpavík!

Djúpavík is a sheltered bay in the Strandir district of northwest Iceland.

It is a remote region, largely untouched by modern developments where silence reigns and nature continues to shape a rugged, mountainous landscape.

Djúpavík Hotel is a building that was formerly the living quarters for women working in a herring processing factory that was built in the bay but fell into disuse many years ago.

If you are looking for simpler accommodation for a group of up to ten people then Álfasteinn Cottage is an ideal choice.

Djúpavík leapt to fame in the 1930s when a group of businessmen built a herring factory in the bay. The factory operated until the early 1950s and now contains an exhibition recalling those exciting and prosperous days.

There is plenty to do in and around Djúpavík. Have a look at our page of things to do for some ideas.
