The Hotel
At Igaliku Country Hotel, you’ll find a cozy atmosphere and comfortable rooms where you can relax after a day of adventures. The café serves Greenlandic dishes that give you a true taste of the region.
You have access to some of South Greenland’s best hiking trails, with two full-day hikes leading you through varied and breathtaking landscapes. You can go fishing at Lake 90, explore the ancient Norse ruins that bear witness to life and activity a thousand years ago, or simply lean back with a book on the terrace and enjoy the view.
Wireless internet (Wi-Fi hotspot) is available at the hotel for a fee, so you can share your experiences or stay connected with the outside world.“We are together with our guests from the moment they wake up until they go to bed. A very special sense of togetherness arises, where everyone just does what feels natural. Guests take things at their own pace—some go for long walks, others enjoy a cup of coffee and the view from the café, while others go fishing or take a dip in the fjord.”

Greenlandic Summer Cottage Atmosphere
In Igaliku, it feels as if the world slows down and you can truly breathe deeply. Here, it’s easy to settle into a rhythm where the days blend together.
When the rain taps on the window, you can enjoy a warm coffee and good conversation in the café. When the sun shines, the fjord invites you for a swim or a fishing trip, where you might catch your own dinner. There are no fixed plans here, and we recommend taking things at a relaxed pace.
Igaliku Country Hotel is your summer cottage far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where you can embrace a slower pace and let your shoulders relax.
“The best thing about Igaliku is the extraordinary silence that envelops the landscape like a blanket. We like to say that Igaliku Country Hotel is our guests’ summer cottage—here, there is space simply to be and to take each day as it comes.”
— Sandra, Hotel Manager
