Sink into the most luxurious hot springs
Iceland is renowned for its geothermal waters, and the healing powers of its many pools have soothed Icelandic minds, souls and bodies for centuries. A stay at one of Iceland’s luxury hot springs is the ideal escape.
Sky Lagoon: The seven-step Skjól Ritual at Sky Lagoon is a world-renowned way to enjoy luxury wellness – and is only a short drive from the capital. The lagoon offers a transformative experience designed to rejuvenate both body and mind, as the site promises both sweeping ocean views and the warm embrace of bubbling hot springs.
Moving seamlessly from hot pools to sauna and steam room, the ritual unfolds in complete serenity. Every element is designed to emphasise relaxation, allowing you to fully switch off, slow down, and immerse yourself completely.
Blue Lagoon: Blue Lagoon, famous for its iconic milky-blue waters, offers an unparalleled escape. The exquisite Retreat Hotel and its Michelin-starred restaurant, Moss, are perfect complements to the hot springs, ensuring you are surrounded in luxury from morning to night.
Forest Lagoon: A secluded escape into a scene of green, Forest Lagoon is a hidden gem nestled amongst the trees. This spa offers a tranquil escape that is almost otherworldly – you’ll find fewer other spaces anywhere that you can enjoy the healing benefits of geothermal waters whilst surrounded by beautiful birch trees. It contributes to the feeling of calm, and enhances the feeling of relaxation.
Taste the finest cuisine
Since its first Michelin star in 2017, Iceland’s culinary reputation has continued to soar, with many world-class fine-dining establishments available. Here are a few of our favorites.
- Dill Restaurant: Chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason’s Dill was the first restaurant in Iceland to receive a Michelin star. The chef delves into the finest of Iceland’s flavours, as the culinary heritage of the country is explored through 15 courses of magnificent dishes. Expect fermented delicacies, Arctic char, and traditionally baked bread to delight your senses, both through thoughtful presentation and impeccable taste.
- ÓX: Step into this Michelin-recommended dining experience – a cocktail bar inspired by Chef Thrainn Freyr Vigfusson’s grandmother’s living room. ÓX offers a menu of rich and intense flavor, meticulously prepared and flawlessly presented. Fewer restaurants feel more intimate, with every aspect – from the decor to delicacies – celebrating tradition, building to a feeling of a family welcoming you home.
- Moss: On the second floor of the famed Blue Lagoon is Moss, a Michelin-starred dining experience that delivers the same luxury as its neighboring hot spring and hotel. Highlighting just a few elements is difficult due to the breathtaking views, impeccable service, and the variety of food options available, but the medium-rare lamb is particularly special – as are the desserts that are sure to linger long in your memories.
Embark on an exclusive adventure
Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes call to every adventurer, but an ultra-luxury trip is designed for those who crave a truly extraordinary experience. Here are some of the best activities to do in Iceland for the ultimate luxury experience.
- Private helicopter tour: This is the best way to experience all of Iceland at once, as you witness the wonderful contrasts of the country from above. In the same view, you can see mountains, ancient volcanoes, and rugged coastlines with the Atlantic ocean lapping at the rocks.
- Heli-skiing: Heli-skiing lets you step upon untouched slopes, exploring secluded terrains above and beyond what you’re used to. Ski with the Midnight Sun illuminating every hour above you, or the celestial beauty of the Northern Lights above your head, and feel safe to explore knowing our guides have everything you could need.
- Ice climbing: For those with good mobility and a taste for adventure, ice climbing on Sólheimajökull glacier is an exhilarating experience. With basic training provided and all precautions taken, you can enjoy scaling an ice wall to get to the top – the view of the glacier is even more rewarding after the climb. An unforgettable memory to be made.
There’s also ATV riding across the black sand, horse riding through historic lands, fishing in fresh waters and hikes across mountains. Iceland isn’t just about what you see, it’s how you see it.
Journey to the most magical areas
At every time of year, Iceland offers something special. From the winters where the long nights can unveil the stunning show of the Northern Lights to the Midnight Sun illuminating the summer evenings, there’s always a sight to behold.
- Northern Lights: unmatched in their beauty, but difficult to predict. Whilst you can never guarantee when and where the aurora borealis will be seen from, with a luxury Northern Lights tour, you have the best possible chance.
At Hidden Iceland we can create a bespoke private tour led by a local guide with extensive knowledge of Iceland. This ensures your visit is a fully immersive experience. Whether you want to sip champagne in hot springs as the lights dance above your head, or find a remote icy plain that feels otherworldly, we can give you the greatest luxury travel experience in Iceland.
- Ice caves: Step inside a glacier with your guide, and see the majesty of the everchanging ice formed around your head. Walking inside a glacier and seeing the beauty of the world from within provides key perspective – and many photographic opportunities.
- Volcanic adventure: Iceland’s geological wonders always draw visitors in, with sights like the Reykjanes Peninsula offering a rare glimpse into one of the world’s few active volcanoes. As with the ice caves, you can walk within these almost magical spaces and see the world beneath your feet, with lava cave tours letting you into the centre of the earth.
