Honeymoon Holidays to Iceland

Coastal stays give couples dramatic sea views, sea air and a more secluded feel than the main tourist routes.

• Snaefellsnes Peninsula: The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is a quieter region in west Iceland, with dramatic coastline, lava fields and small villages. It is a comfortable drive from the capital, which makes it a rewarding day trip or an overnight stay for couples seeking scenery away from crowds. The peninsula is dominated by a glacier-capped volcano, a striking backdrop for quiet walks together. We favour it for couples who want wild views without a crowded itinerary. It is exactly the brief our Iceland Last Minute Holidays deals are built around.
• Vik: Vik is a small village on the south coast, sitting along the Ring Road a good distance from the capital. It is known for its black sand beach and its basalt sea stacks, which give the coast an austere beauty. The village is one of the wettest places in Iceland, so pack accordingly and expect changeable weather. We suggest it for couples who enjoy dramatic seascapes and unhurried evenings in a cosy guesthouse. It is exactly the brief our Iceland Beach Holidays deals are built around.
• Stokksnes: Stokksnes is a headland in southeast Iceland near Hofn, marked by sharp peaks and black sand dunes that make an extraordinary photo backdrop. Access is simple from the main road, though the wind here can be strong enough to change the feel of an afternoon. The contrast between the mountains and the dark sand is unlike anywhere else on the coast. It suits couples who want a memorable coastal moment without a long hike.
• Harbour: The harbour gives couples direct access to boat trips across a sheltered stretch of water dotted with small islands. The trips are a gentle way to see the coastline from the sea, and the town itself is quiet enough for slow mornings. Ferry links from the harbour add a practical dimension if you want to combine sea travel with land exploration. We recommend it for couples who prefer calm water and a sense of seclusion.
• Coast: Whale watching tours depart from the harbour, and the town's proximity to the water means you are rarely far from the sea. Cruise calls in the summer can add a little activity to the streets, but evenings tend to settle into a calm rhythm. It is the kind of northern setting our Cheap Iceland Holidays deals are built around, and we suggest it for couples who want the ocean close at hand and a relaxed atmosphere.
