    Melar is an amazing guesthouse! We stayed in the studio suite, and it was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with a coffee maker, oven, stovetop, dishwasher, etc. The hot tub was an added bonus! The bathroom was roomy...

    The location and space itself were amazing. The decorations were especially unique and thoughtful. The basement suite was so cozy and we loved getting to use the hot tubs as well.

    A bit away from the main tourist routes, this less known region in the northernmost part of Iceland is definitely worth visiting. I liked to stay overnight in a typical icelandic building, which is actually not so easy to find as accomodation....

    This place is just a hidden gem and so fantastic. The house is on the water, with two hot tubs so you can look at the water and wildlife. The kitchen is beautiful and the rooms just feel so luxurious. The owner is incredibly friendly but not...

    Obviously the view was breathtaking. Looking at the view from a hot tube, right next to the house, makes it even more epic. Very friendly owner. And have I mentioned the interior? Amazing! Everywhere the personality of the owner is found in the...

Property info

Melar Guesthouse is a family run guesthouse in a small village close to the Arctic Circle. The Guesthouse has two hot tubs, Bakkaböðin/ The Bakki Baths, where guests have a wonderful view of the sandy black beach and the harbour. It is possible to walk down a lane to the beach and have a swim in the ocean, or perhaps simply stick ones toes into the cold water.

Neighborhood info

Melar Guesthouse is located in Kópasker, a small village in Öxarfjörður County in the North of Iceland. The bird life in the area is diverse, the lighting is unique, and the peaceful quality of the natural environment is remarkable. The area is quite distinctive in terms of diversity in bird life and there are bird watcing houses in the village. From the guesthouse there is about an hours' drive to Húsavík, about 37 km to Ásbyrgi National park and Hljóðaklettar, as well as only 60 km drive to the Dettifoss waterfall. The village is a part of the Arctic Coast Way which is increasingly popular with guests who choose to travel and experience roads less frequented in the remote areas of northern Iceland. A short car ride from Kópasker takes visitors to the actual Arctic Circle, enabling them to visit Raufarhöfn village with The Arctic Henge, and explore the beaches and bird cliffs in Melrakkaslétta.
