Deplar Farm | 13 BRs

Deplar Farm is a spectacular estate, perfectly positioned in the remote Fljót Valley on the Troll Peninsula. Set on a converted 15th-century sheep farm, this lodge seamlessly integrates into the dramatic Icelandic landscape. Deplar Farm is a true escape from the ordinary, where guests can immerse themselves in Iceland’s rugged beauty and partake in a variety of year-round outdoor activities.

Deplar Farm’s architecture is designed to embrace the wilderness, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and the vivid hues of the Aurora Borealis during the winter months. The interiors are a warm, luxurious contrast to the harsh exterior, with thirteen lavish bedrooms, each decked in sumptuous sheepskin, Moroccan wools, and rich textures. The master bedroom, Grettir, even boasts a mezzanine loft, while other suites offer queen sleeping lofts and private balconies. For larger groups, there’s a bunkroom with four double beds—perfect for families or friends traveling together.

The outdoor features of Deplar Farm are simply spectacular. Here you can lounge by the geothermal-heated indoor/outdoor pool, unwind in the Viking sauna, or cool off in the plunge pool, the wellness amenities are designed to restore both body and soul. A swim-up bar provides a touch of indulgence, while the pool offers a front-row seat to the dazzling Northern Lights. For those seeking adventure, the surrounding valley is a playground for activities like heli-skiing, whale watching, sea kayaking, and fat biking.

Back at the lodge, wellness is a priority. The exclusive spa is the ultimate retreat, featuring Isopod flotation tanks, a steam room, sauna, and a yoga studio. Whether soaking in the hot tub under the stars or indulging in a locally inspired treatment, the spa experience is nothing short of sublime. Guests can also maintain their fitness routines in the fully equipped gym, complete with Peloton bikes.

The dining experience at Deplar Farm reflects Iceland’s unique culinary heritage. Menus change daily, based on the freshest ingredients sourced from nearby farmers and fishermen. The meals are paired with fine spirits, craft beers, and wines from the extensive cellar.

With two helipads, Deplar Farm is perfectly situated for guests seeking adventure. From heli-skiing the pristine slopes of the Troll Peninsula to cross-country skiing the Fljót Valley, the opportunities are endless. In summer, guests can explore the fjords by kayak, embark on epic hiking trails, or bike through the rugged terrain. For something truly extraordinary, hop on a helicopter for a sightseeing tour or a private expedition.
