It was only in 2017 that Deplar Farm opened in the far north of Iceland on the remote Troll Peninsula, a lodge as grandiose and unique as the wild island itself. Before that, Deplar Farm was actually a farm.
Today, together with several dozen hectares of land, it is an upscale estate of an outdoor-enthusiastic American millionaire and offers just 13 skilfully styled suites with grassy roofs. The use of natural materials such as local stone and wood is impressive and has been skilfully combined with exposed concrete and metal.
In the dining room, guests eat together at the long wooden table after their tours. The atmosphere is almost informal given the small number of guests. The trendy Nordic cuisine impresses with lamb and fish, while the homemade bread served on warmed plates is a real treat.
Iceland is the perfect place for a wellness experience, outdoor activities and heli-skiing. Iceland is one of the happiest countries in the world, with the purest air and freshest water in the world. In summer, you can pick wild blueberries, bursting with antioxidants, from the bushes that cover the landscape around Deplar. In winter, the long, dark nights will ensure you experience the deepest sleep you've ever known. Spend your days adventurously with revitalising, health-oriented activities. Watch the Northern Lights at night from the hot outdoor pool filled with pure and natural spring water. At Deplar Farm, a dip is not only relaxing but also healing.
Deplar Farm combines activity-based physical pursuits with intense sensory experiences that allow you to fully awaken all your senses, resulting in an exhilarating feeling of complete revitalisation. Activities include wilderness walks and hikes, cycling and sea kayaking excursions in summer. In winter, enjoy the tranquillity of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing or try snowmobiling to get your adrenaline pumping. All activities are individually tailored to your needs.
The farm is located near the Fljót Valley on the isolated and mountainous Troll Peninsula, in the very north of Iceland. This remote area has some of the highest average snowfall in the world, making it a dream destination for skiers.
On the converted sheep farm, the Deplar farm with its black wood panelling, overgrown roof and floor-to-ceiling windows blends harmoniously into the natural landscape.
With two helipads on the property, guests have immediate access to all the runs and steep hills and piste corridors that take you all the way to the sea. Iceland's maritime snowpack offers stable conditions, on smooth slopes with fresh powder or firm snow cover. In contrast to many other heli-ski areas, there are virtually no cancelled days in Deplar. If the conditions are not good enough for flying, the guides can take guests cat-skiing or on the piste. Don't worry about sore muscles. Deplar's geothermally heated outdoor swimming pool, Isopod flotation tanks and talented massage therapists alleviate any ski fatigue so you never have to miss a day of skiing.
