When you search for all inclusive holidays to Iceland in May, you are really asking whether a package can bundle your flights, transfers and accommodation into one price with a clear board basis and protected payment. With Travelodeal, you pay us once and we arrange the individual elements of your trip, so you know what is covered before you travel.

An all inclusive holiday to Iceland is less common than in sunnier destinations, as the country is better known for dramatic landscapes than resort-style hotels with endless bars and pools. Most visitors instead choose a self-catering apartment or guesthouse, pairing it with guided glacier walks, geothermal lagoon soaks and scenic Ring Road drives. Travelodeal can tailor a package to your tastes, with protected bookings for real peace of mind.

A package holiday to Iceland in May suits travellers who want certainty over the hardest-to-organise parts of the trip. Our team checks accommodation, transfer timings and board basis before confirming, and flags where May weather or road conditions may affect plans. Shoulder season offers longer daylight, quieter waterfalls and better guesthouse availability, though highland tracks can still close, so we set realistic expectations before travel.

Your Guide to All Inclusive Holidays to Iceland in May

In May, the resort-style options in Iceland centre on a few well-served towns where accommodation and dining are most readily arranged.

Reykjavik: Looking for All Inclusive Resorts in May on Corfu? Head to Gouvia, a relaxed bay on the island's north-east coast where May brings warm sunshine, quieter beaches and comfortable temperatures for sightseeing. Many of the resorts here offer full all-inclusive board, so you can enjoy unlimited dining, drinks and poolside relaxation while exploring the Ionian island at your own pace. It is exactly the brief our Reykjavik holidays deals are built around.
Akureyri: Akureyri is the largest town in northern Iceland and a calmer alternative to the capital, set on a long fjord with mountains rising behind it. In May you will find a quieter atmosphere, with accommodation options that tend to be less crowded than in the south, and it works well as a base for reaching Godafoss waterfall by car. The town is considerably further from the capital than most southern stops, so the journey takes longer, which is worth factoring into your itinerary, the same kind of planning brief our Iceland holidays deals are built around. We often recommend it to travellers who want a relaxed stay with a northern character.
Husavik: Husavik is a small harbour town and a major hub for whale watching tours, making it a distinctive choice for a May package focused on wildlife rather than nightlife. Accommodation here is limited compared with the capital, so availability can be tighter, and we advise booking early for the dates you want. The town sits close to its harbour, which keeps the boat departures easy to reach on foot. It suits visitors who value a slower pace and a clear purpose for their stay.
Stykkisholmur: Stykkisholmur is a small town on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula with a harbour that serves as a ferry port for boat trips across the bay. It is a peaceful resort-style base with fewer services than the capital, so choosing it means accepting a quieter evening and fewer restaurant choices. In May the harbour and surrounding roads are generally more manageable than the highlands, which makes it a sensible low-stress option. We recommend it for guests who want rest and scenery without a busy itinerary.
Vik: Vik is a village on the south coast of Iceland, along the Ring Road, and makes a practical overnight stop with a strong coastal character. Its accommodation options are modest, so this is a place to choose for the setting rather than for resort facilities. The village is a reasonable drive from the capital and works well if you are building a route around the south coast. We include it for guests who want a memorable overnight stay on the way to other destinations.

Iceland is itself an island, so the island-focused options in May are best understood as offshore and ferry-linked destinations reached from the mainland.

Ferry links: Islands in May: with the sea warming and the crowds still thin, Corfu is a superb choice for a spring escape. Head to Paleokastritsa, where turquoise coves, monasteries perched on clifftops and sheltered bays make every day feel like a postcard. Pack comfortable shoes for the coastal paths, a light layer for breezy evenings, and plenty of sunscreen for those long, warm afternoons by the water.
Seydisfjordur: Seydisfjordur is a small fishing town in eastern Iceland with colourful wooden houses and a harbour that is linked by the Smyril Line ferry to Denmark and the Faroe Islands. It is reached by mountain roads, so the journey from the rest of the country takes longer than many guests expect. The ferry connection makes it a distinctive choice for travellers combining Iceland with a wider northern European route. We suggest it for those who enjoy a remote feel and are happy to plan around the drive.
Westman-style sea access: Ipsos is a coastal place reached through a sea-based route that suits travellers who prefer an active day on the water in May. Conditions at sea can change quickly, so we keep excursions flexible and confirm them close to departure. The trade-off is weather dependence, as cancellations are possible when seas are rough. It suits guests who are comfortable adjusting plans and want a more hands-on experience.
Vestrahorn: Eastern Iceland's Vestrahorn, the dramatic black mountain near Stokksnes on the Hornafjordur coast, is a striking stop for guests exploring the islands in May. The mountain rises sharply from golden dunes and black sand, creating scenery that feels truly otherworldly. In May the coastal road is generally open and the long daylight hours give plenty of time for photography and gentle walks along the shoreline. It suits travellers seeking dramatic landscapes away from the busier southern routes. It is exactly the brief our Iceland Adults Only Holidays deals are built around.
Reykjanes harbour access: The Reykjanes Peninsula is the southwestern corner of Iceland, close to Keflavik Airport, and includes a geothermal spa set in a lava field. It is the most convenient area for arrival and departure, so it works well as a first or last night on a package. The landscape is more rugged and less varied than the north, which some guests find less appealing. We suggest it for travellers who want easy airport access and a relaxed opening or closing to their trip.
