Hotel Vos
Best Location For Viewing Aurora In Iceland
Hotel Vos
Formerly owned by local horse farmer Halli, the property was lovingly transformed into a cozy hotel by current owner EW Loo, who has elevated it into one of the top aurora-focused stays in the region. The hotel features 18 private rooms with direct outdoor access, geothermal hot tub, and locally sourced meals including chicken and potatoes from nearby farms.
Bios
Mr. EW Loo – Owner, Aurora Guide, and Photographer
Originally from Malaysia, EW Loo fell in love with the magic of Iceland during an aurora hunting trip. That passion eventually led him to take over Hotel VOS from its former owner, local horse farmer Halli, and turn it into a welcoming haven for fellow aurora seekers.
Loo is not just a hotelier
He’s a dedicated Northern Lights photographer and experienced aurora chaser. He monitors real-time weather and solar activity to give guests the best chance of seeing and photographing the aurora. Many of the stunning aurora photos shared by guests were captured under his guidance—or by Loo himself.
His mission is simple
Help every guest go home with unforgettable memories and, if they’re lucky, a photo of the lights dancing above Iceland’s open skies.

A perfect little Iceland hotel near Hella, Iceland. - This hotel was curated for our trip by @Greenlandtours.com. It was a splendid room, not huge but all of the amenities. Dining, both at dinner and the included breakfast, was... read more excellent. We left early and took a right out of the hotel instead of left towards town, we drove to the end of road and took another right and parked near the last farm on that road. From there it was a 40 minute walk to the ocean, most of it along a black sand beach. Magical!
