Eleven Deplar Farm

Ólafsfjörður, Iceland

Iceland’s wild terrain has met its match with Eleven, an adventure travel group offering awe-inspiring excursions. Their northern Icelandic property, a 15th-century sheep farm in the remote Fljót Valley on the Troll Peninsula, is just 45 minutes from Reykjavik. The striking black timber lodge blends with the snow-swathed landscape, and floor-to-ceiling windows offer prime views of the Northern Lights, with minimal light pollution boosting your chances. Inside, 13 cosy rooms are decked out in local driftwood, stone, sheepskin, and taxidermy, while guided excursions, with all gear provided, range from snowshoe treks to whale watching in the fjords. Thrill-seekers can heli-ski from a choice of two helipads on offer, while Viking-inspired relaxation includes a sauna and cold plunge pool. Chef-prepared meals fuel activities, and an open-air geothermal pool, isopod flotation tanks and spa treatments aid muscle recovery. For the perfect soundtrack to this epic escape, the property even has its own recording studio.
