Nestled in Kjalarnes, home of the volcanic Esja mountain range, Esjan is a collection of comfortable, rustic-styled rooms imaginatively created from refurbished buses.

Just 13 miles from the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, you’ll feel blissfully secluded from the rest of civilisation, surrounded by dreamlike sea-and-mountain views.

Huge windows showcase that incredible scenery to perfection, as you cradle a mug of hot chocolate and chat with your loved ones. If you’re lucky, the Northern Lights may even make an appearance, dancing across the vast night sky.

Generous communal bathroom facilities are housed in a nearby building, and tailored on-site activities include hiking and horse-riding. What more could any self-respecting nature-lover need?
