Bessastaðir
4 km away (air distance)
Bessastaðir stands on a low, windswept headland of the Álftanes peninsula, facing the sea. The white house with red roof is the official residence of the President of Iceland, surrounded by lawns, a small church and views over the bay to Reykjavík. It is a peaceful, understated place, quite different from a typical tourist attraction.
Hellisgerði Lava Park
5 km away (air distance)
It only takes about half an hour to wander through, which makes it an easy stop between shopping and a café visit in the centre of Hafnarfjörður. It is at its prettiest in summer, when the flowers are in bloom, and quiet in the evening. Look for the signs about hidden folk and elves, and ask the tourist office about guided walks.
Sky Lagoon
5 km away (air distance)
Opened in 2021, the spa takes inspiration from Icelandic bathing traditions and turf-house architecture. Guests follow a multi-step ritual that alternates warm water, cold plunge, sauna, steam and a skin scrub. The geothermal water is drawn from nearby sources and mixed to keep the lagoon at a comfortable temperature.
