Iceland is just three hours from the UK and yet it seems like a world away with its breathtaking scenery – glaciers, lava fields and craggy coastline.

Head to the Hotel Budir, a remote boutique hotel that delivers everything you could wish for in a short honeymoon. The hotel is dramatically situated between stunning beach and glacier in the Icelandic countryside, and the exquisite restaurant boasts one of Iceland’s most celebrated chefs. By day, you can take long romantic walks, go horse riding, snowmobiling or whale watching (in season) and by night snuggle up in one of the charming attic rooms following a five-course feast.

Iceland counts Jodie Foster, Harrison Ford and Lady Gabriella Windsor amongst its fans, and this hotel is often first choice for celebrities. As a bonus, wedding guests can buy gift certificates for the hotel and for Icelandair, meaning it won’t cost the bride and groom a penny! Flights to Reykjavik from Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow are from £99, one-way, including taxes from Icelandair.co.uk. Three nights at the Hotel Budir is from £184 pp, however packages can be arranged through Icelandair if you call direct.
