El veredicto
¿Vale la pena para su luna de miel?
Hotel Vágar is the country's only proper hotel on the island of Vágar itself — a 51-room property in the small village of Sandavágur, 10 minutes east of Vágar airport (FAE) and 30 minutes from the iconic Mulafossur waterfall at Gásadalur. Built in 2014 with a 2021 wing extension, it occupies a wedge of land between the fjord and the road, with about 60% of rooms facing south over the water toward the mountains of Streymoy across the sound. The honeymoon case is not luxury — this is a three-star property with simple, modern, well-kept rooms and a decent breakfast — but pure logistics: for couples who want to spend the most time on Vágar island (Mulafossur, Sørvágsvatn, Bøur, Drangarnir, Mykines ferry), the airport-side base eliminates 100 minutes of daily driving versus a Tórshavn hotel. It is also the natural pick for couples whose flights to Vágar are routinely weather-grounded — being 10 minutes from FAE means you can roll out of bed and onto the morning flight rather than commit to a 50-minute dawn drive through the subsea tunnel.

De un vistazo
Recomendación de habitación
Qué habitación reservar
A south-facing Superior Double in the 2021 wing — rooms 201-218 face the Sørvágsfjørður fjord with large windows, queen beds, and walk-in showers. The wing extension has the property's largest rooms (24 sqm vs 18 sqm for original 2014 rooms), and rooms 215, 216, and 217 in the corner of the new wing have two-sided windows looking south to the fjord and west toward the mountains. Honeymoon couples should specifically request a 2021-wing south-facing room at booking — non-wing rooms are smaller and many face the road.

Día a día
Su itinerario de luna de miel de 7 noches
Arrival at Vágar (FAE) and first Mulafossur sunset
Land at Vágar (FAE), collect the rental car (mandatory), 10-minute drive east to Hotel Vágar in Sandavágur. Quick check-in, then straight back west — 30 minutes to Gásadalur for the first Mulafossur sunset. The waterfall faces west; afternoon and golden-hour light are the best for the iconic cliff-and-waterfall photo. Dinner at the hotel restaurant (Faroese-Nordic basics: lamb stew, fish soup, rhubarb tart).
Sørvágsvatn lake and Bøur village
A short driving day. 20 minutes from the hotel to Miðvágur, then the 90-minute return hike to Sørvágsvatn — the lake-above-ocean optical illusion that is the country's most-photographed view. Lunch at Káta Hús in the grass-roof village of Bøur (next to Gásadalur), afternoon at Bøur with its 16th-century turf-roof church and a walk along the harbour wall.
Mykines puffin day or Drangarnir hike
From Sørvágur, 10 minutes from the hotel. In summer (May 1-August 31), the morning ferry to Mykines for the puffin colony of 500,000 birds — 2-hour hike to the lighthouse, lunch on the island, ferry back mid-afternoon. Outside puffin season, replace with the guided Drangarnir sea-stack hike (6 hours, intermediate) — the country's most spectacular coastal walk, ending at the dramatic free-standing basalt stack.
Tórshavn day trip
50-minute drive east via the Vágatunnilin subsea tunnel to Tórshavn. Morning at Tinganes (the world's oldest continuously functioning parliament since 825 AD), lunch at Áarstova for the country's defining 700-year-old slow-roast lamb recipe, afternoon design shopping on Niels Finsens Gøta (Guðrun & Guðrun for wool sweaters featured in Danish TV series The Killing, Snældan for hand-woven throws). Late afternoon drive back to Vágar.
Saksun and Tjørnuvík
Cross-island day. Drive 1h 15min east to Saksun on Streymoy — 14 grass-roof houses, the 17th-century turf-church, tidal lagoon and black-sand beach. The 1-hour clifftop walk to Tjørnuvík with the basalt sea stacks Risin og Kellingin (the Giant and the Witch) framing the beach. Lunch at Múli Café in Saksun (summer only), back to Hotel Vágar via Vestmanna.
Eysturoy day to Gjógv and Koks dinner
Drive 1h 30min east across both the Vágatunnilin and Eysturoyartunnilin (the latter has the world's only underwater roundabout, lit as a kinetic light installation by Faroese artist Tróndur Patursson) to Gjógv village on Eysturoy's north coast. Walk the natural sea-gorge, lunch at Gjáargarður Guesthouse. Evening at Koks, Faroe's two-Michelin-star restaurant in the isolated farmhouse above Leynavatn — book 4 months ahead. Late drive back to Vágar (allow 90 minutes; the road can fog over).
Mulafossur last morning and departure
Final morning back at Mulafossur — early-morning light from the east gives a different cliff shadow than the sunset photo from day 1. Quick stop at Bøur church for a last grass-roof photo, then 10 minutes back to Vágar (FAE) for departure. The hotel's location means you can leave check-out until 1 hour before flight time.
Evaluación honesta
Lo que debe saber antes de reservar
This is a three-star hotel — comfortable and well-kept but simple; the case is logistics and Vágar island convenience, not luxury.
About 40% of rooms face the road or back of the building; specifically request a 2021-wing south-facing room at booking. Without that, the property's view advantage is lost.
Sandavágur has no nightlife and limited evening dining outside the hotel — the kitchen closes by 9 PM. Plan dinner reservations in advance, or drive 30 minutes to Tórshavn for a wider restaurant choice (Áarstova, Barbara, Ræst).

FAQ
Preguntas frecuentes
Is this hotel good for honeymooners?
Hotel Vágar is the airport-side logistics pick — strongest for honeymoon couples who plan to spend most of the week on Vágar island (Mulafossur, Sørvágsvatn, Mykines, Drangarnir) and want to avoid the 50-minute daily commute from Tórshavn. It is not a romantic resort — it is a comfortable, well-located base that the trip's adventures pivot around.
What is the best time to visit?
May to August for the midnight sun, accessible puffin colony, green hills. September and October offer dramatic shoulder light and lower prices. November to February: dark and storm-prone — but if you must travel in winter, Hotel Vágar is the safest bed-to-flight option because cancelled morning flights can be rebooked from the airport across the road.
What should we book in advance?
2021-wing south-facing Superior Doubles (rooms 201-218) book 2-3 months ahead for July-August; the corner rooms 215-217 book 4 months ahead. Rental car (mandatory; ~250 in the country) confirms at time of room booking. Mykines ferry from Sørvágur needs 6 months for summer slots. Koks restaurant requires 4 months ahead.
Is it adults-only?
No, family-friendly, but the small scale and the adventure-focused guest profile mean most rooms are couples, hikers, and photographers.
What's the best room type for a honeymoon?
A 2021-wing south-facing Superior Double, ideally the corner rooms 215, 216, or 217 — two-sided windows facing the fjord and the mountains beyond, queen bed, walk-in shower. These are the only rooms with the property's view advantage; the wing also has slightly larger footprints than the 2014 original rooms.
How do we get there?
Fly to Vágar (FAE) via Copenhagen (CPH, 2h, daily Atlantic Airways and SAS), Edinburgh (EDI, 1h 15min, summer only), Bergen (BGO, 1h 30min), or Reykjavík (KEF, 1h 30min, weekly summer). Hotel Vágar is 10 minutes east of the airport in Sandavágur village — the hotel arranges complimentary transfers for guests on request, but a rental car is essential for the rest of the week.
