Black Sand Hotel
Located on a peninsula on Iceland's South Coast, the Black Sand Hotel is a new, serene retreat. The property looks out on the water and the black sand beaches that give it its name; 79 rooms and suites are outfitted with clean, Scandinavian-style furnishings. There's also a restaurant on site serving up local cuisine, a bar, a spa, and little else to distract from the outstanding views and restful atmosphere.
