WHITE WEDDINGS IN ICELAND

GLYMUR & THE WHALE FJORD

Clinging to the mountainside overlooking Hvalfjödur (whale fjord) with Snæfellsnes the eternal pyramid of snow in the distance is the Glymur restaurant and hotel, stylishly owner driven by Jon Hognason and Hansina Einarsdottir. Almost adjacent to the hotel is a picture postcard Lutheran church where wedding ceremonies are conducted by the local pastor.

HOTEL GLYMUR

From its mountainside perch overlooking Hvalfjöur, the Glymur which takes its name from the eponymous waterfall nearby is a quirkily stylish hotel with just 22 split level rooms each with a separate sitting room. The lounge, restaurant and public areas are filled with a miscellany of artefacts and object d’arts collected by the owners. Outside a wooden causeway leads to hot tubs overlooking the fjord where you can relax and listen to the silence of the countryside. DAY 1 UK – GLYMUR Scheduled Icelandair flight to Reykjavik.
