REFUELING AND RELAXING
After a long day of exploring and sightseeing, why not stop by at a
local restaurant?
The variety of restaurants and cafés on Heimaey may come as
a surprise; Vestmannaeyjar are becoming a popular destination for
the gourmet traveler. Whether it’s a visit to Slippurinn Eatery or Einsi
Kaldi for casual or fine dining, Grillhús 900 to satisfy a craving for
burgers and pizzas, or Gott restaurant for a healthier option, the
islands’ restaurants cater for all tastes.
Afterwards, a refreshing dip in the local geothermally-heated pool
is in order. A fun affair for the whole family, the pool has an indoor
and outdoor swimming area with three water slides. Enjoy a soak in
the therapeutic hot tubs, relax in the restorative sauna, or sunbathe
in the wading pool. Icelandic pools are a luxury like no other!
The Vestmannaeyjar experience is one of Iceland’s main attrac-
tions, providing visitors with boundless opportunities for fun, relax-
ation and unforgettable adventure.
