Luxury Private Villa

A Luxury Private Villa in Southern Iceland

While ultra-luxury hotels remain scarce across much of southern Iceland, we go further by handpicking and vetting a curated selection of exceptional private villas across the most spectacular regions. Our three Golden Circle properties sit on tranquil lakeshores or amid rolling hills with views of volcanic mountains and black sand beaches, each featuring contemporary Scandinavian interiors, fully equipped kitchens, geothermal hot tubs, and expansive decks made for long summer evenings or northern lights viewing. All villas are fully staffed, with private chefs crafting bespoke menus from fresh Icelandic ingredients, and serve as an ideal base for glacier hikes, zodiac tours, and helicopter expeditions along Iceland's remote southern coast.

Hotel Rangá

One MICHELIN Keys Lodge In Southern Iceland

Set on the banks of the East Rangá River in the heart of southern Iceland, Hotel Rangá is a classic log-cabin lodge that combines rustic warmth with genuine luxury, just over an hour's drive from Reykjavik. The property's 52 rooms and suites include honey-toned standard and deluxe rooms adorned with hand-painted murals by local artists, alongside a collection of boldly themed continental suites, each inspired by a different region of the world, from a Japanese-style Asia suite to the dramatic Africa and Antarctica rooms. A private astronomical observatory, three outdoor hot tubs, and an exclusive aurora wake-up call service make the Rangá one of Iceland's finest places to experience the northern lights. Well positioned between the Golden Circle and the Glacier Lagoon, it serves as an exceptional base for a luxury journey through Iceland's south.

Deplar Farm

An Eleven Experience Lodge In Northern Iceland

Converted from a working sheep farm and set against the dramatic peaks of northern Iceland's Fljót valley, Deplar Farm is a strikingly designed off-the-grid retreat where black timber cladding and a living turf roof anchor the property firmly in its landscape. The 13 ensuite bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding mountains and, on clear nights, the northern lights dancing overhead. Wellness facilities go well beyond the expected, with a geothermal-heated indoor-outdoor pool, Isopod flotation tanks, and an outdoor Viking sauna rounding out one of Iceland's most considered retreat experiences. Remote, fully staffed, and deeply immersive, Deplar Farm is an exceptional base for heli-skiing, river fishing, and exploring the untouched wilderness of Iceland's far north.

The Retreat

Luxury Boutique Hotel At The Blue Lagoon

Built directly into an 800-year-old lava field on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland is the country's most celebrated luxury resort, where volcanic rock, mineral-rich waters, and refined Scandinavian design converge. The property's 60 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing either the private geothermal lagoon or sweeping views of moss-covered lava fields, while a subterranean spa and the Michelin-starred Moss Restaurant complete an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. This unique property makes a sublime first or final chapter to any luxury journey through Iceland.

Reykjavik EDITION

A Marriott Hotel In Reykjavik

Occupying a prime position on Reykjavík's Old Harbor, The Reykjavík EDITION brings a sophisticated new energy to Iceland's capital, with 253 rooms and suites designed as warm, considered retreats. Pale ash wood, local artwork, faux fur rugs, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the harbor, Mount Esja, and on clear days the Snæfellsjökull glacier give the interiors a distinctly Nordic character without sacrificing cosmopolitan polish. A seventh-floor rooftop, a social spa with its own bar, and a celebrated restaurant showcasing Iceland's culinary traditions round out one of the city's most dynamic addresses. Steps from Laugavegur and the landmark Harpa Concert Hall, the EDITION serves as an ideal base for exploring Reykjavík before venturing further into Iceland's extraordinary landscape.
