Condé Nast Traveller: The Faroe Islands among the 25 Best Places to Go in 2025
The Faroe Islands: Furrowed brows and quizzical looks usually follow any mention of the Faroe Islands. A tiny island nation between Iceland and Norway, and home to more sheep than people, it’s precisely the far-flung, cold-weather locale that in-the-know travellers crave. But go quick; people are starting to catch on. Icelandair has begun direct flights from Reykjavik to Vágar five to six times weekly.
Once you do touch down, visiting one of the country’s more remote 18 islands via a new subsea tunnel is more straightforward than pronouncing its name. Sandoyartunnilin connects the main island with Sandoy through a six-and-a-half-mile stretch decorated with Viking-inspired art by local artist Edward Fuglø and a soundtrack you can dial into on your car radio. Other new openings include the BISK Hotel, an upcoming waterside hotel in the northern town of Klaksvik. The island’s airport hotel, Hotel Vágar, has also just reopened – ideal for situating yourself before those early-morning flights. When you need a massage after chasing waterfalls and hiking cliffs, new wellness offerings range from the outdoor spa and café, Ress, at four-star Hotel Føroyar, to Havdypp, a beachside sauna and spa in nearby Leynar that also offers multiday wellness retreats.
