The Midnight Sun in Iceland
The midnight sun is an experience like no other. As our planet tilts toward the sun following the spring equinox, Iceland comes alive. Summer days feel relaxed and endless here. Whether youre living it up in downtown Reykjavik or exploring the countryside, theres no real need to hurry home. The warmer weather, bright skies, and thriving greenery make this one of the best times to visit our country. At the height of summer, the sun hardly goes down at all. Theres just a bit of dusk in the middle of the night to mark the end of a day.
When midnight looks more like late afternoon, its easy to stay up all night. Even locals notice that in the summer months, bedtime becomes something of an afterthought. But dont worry -- youll still be able to get a good nights sleep. As is the case in most Icelandic homes, the rooms offered by Berjaya Hotels all include blackout curtains or blinds. With these, its easy to forget about the sun outside.
To help you get the most out of this special time of year, Berjaya Hotels is offering a Midnight Sun Special, available between June 1 and July 15, 2014. Guests who book online can enjoy a 10% discount on the best available rooms at the Reykjavik Natura. This offer also includes complimentary access to the Soley Natura Spa, an on-the-house cocktail at Satt Bar, and free wi-fi.
Additionally, Midnight Sun guests can take advantage of a discounted afternoon/evening trip to the Golden Circle and Laugarvatn Fontana, arranged by Iceland Excursions. If you havent seen the Icelandic countryside before, this pairing is a fantastic way to start. The Golden Circle is a highly popular tourist route, looping from Reykjavik through Thingvellir National Park, the famous Gullfoss waterfall, and the geysers at Geysir. After being outside all day, a hot soak in the geothermal pools at Laugarvatn Fontana is the perfect way to end your adventure.
