Just by route 54 on Snæfellsnes Peninsula, stylish black luxury huts can be found, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Traðir is a private land with luxury huts leased to tourists and visitors. From there, a 4.5 kilometre long stretch of golden sand beach lies along the coastline. The contrast between the dark blue ocean and the sand is enhanced by the magnificent Snæfellsnes mountain ranges serving as a majestic backdrop, while the king of the peninsula, Snæfellsjökull glacier, sits tall and proud, glistening in the far background, making this location truly a place of extraordinary beauty.
