Description

Nestled in Iceland’s remote Fljót Valley on the rugged Troll Peninsula, Eleven Deplar Farm is a former sheep farm turned luxury lodge, offering a rare balance of wilderness and refined comfort. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and untouched nature, the lodge feels deeply connected to the landscape while providing a warm, welcoming refuge.

The building blends seamlessly into its surroundings with black timber cladding, a grass-covered roof, and sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the valley and sky. Inside, the design is cozy and Nordic-rustic: rooms feature natural textures, sheepskin throws, warm woods, and modern comforts such as geothermal-powered steam showers. Some suites include lofts or balconies for even more space and mountain views.

Adventure is at the core of the Deplar Farm experience. Guests are matched with private guides to create personalised itineraries that can include heli-skiing on the Troll Peninsula, fly-fishing in pristine rivers, horseback riding, sea kayaking, whale watching, hiking, or fat biking under the midnight sun. Whether you seek high-energy days or something more contemplative, everything is tailored to your pace. The wellness facilities offer a serene counterpoint to the adventure. A geothermally heated indoor/outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, a sauna, steam room, hot tubs, treatment rooms, and flotation tanks make it easy to unwind. A gym, yoga room, media lounge, and two helipads add to the impression of a lodge designed for both comfort and exploration.

Dining focuses on fresh, local ingredients — from Icelandic lamb to Arctic char and salmon — prepared with care and served in a warm, communal atmosphere. Meals often feel like relaxed gatherings, with excellent wine and conversation flowing naturally.
