Why Choose Iceland for Your Next Luxury Escape?

 

Few places in the world combine raw natural beauty with refined luxury quite like Iceland. The country’s pristine wilderness offers a dramatic backdrop to indulgent experiences designed just for you.


You can:

  • Soak in secluded geothermal lagoons surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
  • Sleep under the Northern Lights in a glass-walled suite.
  • Dine on fresh Arctic char prepared by award-winning chefs.
  • Explore glaciers and black sand beaches in a private super jeep.

These moments are more than just memorable — they’re designed to feel extraordinary.

For those who value privacy, bespoke service, and breathtaking scenery, Iceland sets a new standard. Isn’t it time you discovered what luxury travel Iceland really feels like?

The Best Time to Visit Iceland in Style

 

Timing can transform your Iceland experience. Each season offers its own unique luxury highlights.


Summer: Midnight Sun Magic


From late May to early August, Iceland enjoys nearly 24 hours of daylight. Imagine sipping champagne at midnight while the sun still glows softly over a mossy lava field. Long days mean more time for exclusive tours and private picnics in remote locations.


Winter: Northern Lights and Snowy Serenity

 

For a cosier luxury experience, visit between October and March. This is prime season for aurora hunting. Picture yourself in a heated luxury cabin, watching green and purple lights dance across the sky.

Whichever season you choose, we’ll tailor your itinerary to match the natural wonders on display.


Exclusive Experiences Worth Booking

 

With luxury travel Iceland, it’s not just where you go — it’s how you experience it. Here are some stand-out highlights.

 

Private Super Jeep Tour of the South Coast

 

Explore waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glacial lagoons from the comfort of your own chauffeur-driven super jeep. Your expert guide will adapt the route to your interests, stopping at hidden spots few visitors ever see.

 

Helicopter Ride Over Volcanic Craters

 

For a truly show-stopping perspective, take to the skies in a private helicopter. You’ll hover over steaming fissures, ancient craters, and sprawling ice caps. A stop for a champagne toast on a mountaintop adds the perfect touch.

 

Relaxing in a Secluded Lagoon


While the Blue Lagoon is world-famous, we can arrange for access to smaller, more exclusive geothermal pools where you’ll have the place almost to yourself. Sink into warm, mineral-rich water and let the world slip away.


Stay in Style: Iceland’s Finest Hotels


Your accommodation is just as important as your itinerary. Iceland has a growing collection of luxury hotels that showcase its natural beauty while providing supreme comfort.


The Retreat at Blue Lagoon


Arguably the crown jewel of Iceland’s luxury hotels, The Retreat offers suites with floor-to-ceiling views over the lagoon and lava fields. The spa here is exceptional, with private lagoons reserved just for guests. Every detail feels designed to soothe and impress in equal measure.

We have access to the best rates and packages here, so do ask us about current offers when planning your trip.

 

Deplar Farm

 

For a truly secluded escape, Deplar Farm in northern Iceland is set in a remote valley surrounded by snowy peaks. This converted sheep farm is now a luxury lodge with an emphasis on outdoor adventures — think heli-skiing in winter or fly fishing in summer — all balanced with gourmet meals and an indoor/outdoor geothermal pool.

Our connections mean we can secure you exclusive perks or seasonal offers at Deplar Farm, so feel free to enquire about the latest options when you’re ready to book.

 

Hotel Ranga

 

If seeing the Northern Lights is on your list, Hotel Ranga is an ideal choice. Located in southern Iceland’s countryside, this boutique property combines rustic charm with modern luxury. Rooms are individually decorated, and the staff even wake guests when the lights appear overhead.

Ask us about our current selection of offers at Hotel Ranga — we often have some truly tempting inclusions available.
