Luxury Experiences In Iceland
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Icelands rugged landscape
Far away from the crowds of tourists lies Deplar Farm, a remote retreat in the Fljot Valley where a variety of thrilling adventures await.
Deplar Farm
Despite the rapid growth of tourism in Iceland, large areas of the country remain completely uncrowded. This includes the Troll Peninsula, a hidden gem in the north of the country which is increasing in popularity as an outdoor recreational area. In winter you can go heli-skiing in the mountains and in summer hike through the many vales or fjords, admiring the serene and beautiful scenery. Located on the Peninsula is Deplar Farm, a former working sheep farm which has been converted into an off-the-grid retreat, surrounded by astounding scenery. This 13-room Nordic escape is the ideal destination for those who want to experience a side of Iceland that few tourists have ever seen.

Experiences to enjoy all year round
Come rain or shine, Iceland is a wonderful destination to experience all year round.

During no-fly weather days, it is possible to go cat skiing or even hot-spring hopping if the slopes aren’t for you. Whale watching and even surfing (in extra thick wetsuits) are possible in this rugged and diverse region. Adventure aside, restorative yoga and spa sessions, meditative workshops are all on offer if you would rather not leave the extreme comfort of the cosy lodge.
