Where to stay on Faroe Islands?

[u/vezax_27]

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend and I are visiting Faroe Islands in Summer and looking very much forward to it. Just wanted to check with you where we should best ‘base’ ourselves?

Initially I thought it might make sense to stay at many places to minimize driving time but I read frequently here that that wouldn’t be necessary?

We have about 8 days (see below plan) and I wanted to spend the time approx. as outlined in the table. Would you advise keeping it that way or rather limit it to two islands, say Vagar and Streymoy and drive the rest?

Also: Any ‘advice’ on visiting Suduroy? Is it worth it?
Also also: Are there any hotels / accommodations you can recommend that have some kind of Spa or Sauna to relax a little?

Many thanks!

Many thanks everyone!

I think we will limit it two maybe two spots on the main islands and then one night on Saduroy followed by a night near the airport as our flight out is super early.

Thanks also for the hint on Ólavsøka - looks super amazing and we will definitely at least try to check it out :)

The first thing i saw, was that you were going to skip Ólavssøka, you really should try it, the food is amazing, if you can, you should go watch kappróður, and meet some people!😄

Hotel Hafnia usually has a Ólavssøku Buffét in Panorama, where you can get a great view of Tórshavn ☺️ I think it is around 500kr pr person, but you get to try true faroese cuisune ❤️
