Everything you need to know about where to stay during your trip to Átjan Wild Islands

Where to Stay

As the capital city, Tórshavn is undoubtedly the best and most convenient place to stay on the islands.

Staying here, you’ll always be within walking distance of all the festival events at Átjan Wild Islands, as well as a whole host of shops, restaurants, bars, and the quintessential old town of Tórshavn.


There are plenty of Airbnb’s, hotels, and guest houses in and around Tórshavn, and despite the Faroe Islands being wild and remote, there’s a considerable amount of accommodation in the bustling small city, so you won’t be spoilt for choice, but do book in advance. 


Below are some of the best hotels and self catering appartments we'd recommend in and around Tórshavn. For a full comprehensive list of where to stay, you can visit our partner Visit Faroe Islands.

The roofs mimic the exact shade of the verdant landscape around the hotel, and it has been built to look as though it were carved into the cliffs that line the ocean. Double and Twin Rooms are perfect for couples, friends, or if you fancy a little extra space with a large double bed. A little more on the expensive side, Hotel Føroyar is the perfect luxurious addition to your week of trail running & adventures.
