About the Hotel
Hotel Kjarnalundur sits in Akureyri — Iceland's largest northern city, the gateway to a region of fjords, whale-watching, and arctic landscapes — with a wellness floor that combines comfortable accommodation with a proper sauna offering.
The wellness area includes a traditional Finnish sauna, a steam bath, and treatment rooms covering massage and facial work. The pairing of sauna culture with Iceland's geothermal traditions makes for an unusual wellness depth even in a non-luxury hotel.
For travelers exploring northern Iceland — whales in Eyjafjörður, the Mývatn region, the Diamond Circle — Hotel Kjarnalundur is a sensible base. The wellness floor handles the wind-down side of long days in the arctic landscape.
