The Ultimate Reset at Deplar Farm, Iceland

Iceland is regarded as the ultimate getaway for travellers seeking the purest elements and space. The tiny island nation of 360,000 has one of the lowest population densities in the world and its barely explored northern peninsulas are the ideal places to go-off-grid and explore the raw and beautiful outdoors. Deplar Farm, one of Eleven Experience’s most unique properties, is located in the remote Fljót Valley of northern Iceland with just a handful of resident farmers, where sheep outnumber humans in Iceland by more than 2:1. The free-standing Nordic-inspired lodge sleeps up to 26 guests and is located on the stunning Troll Peninsula. Come winter, it is surrounded by 3,000 ft snow-dusted mountains, allowing guests to have unrivalled access to over 1,500 square miles of untouched mountain terrain to explore. Due to limited light-pollution in Iceland, guests can also stargaze out across the clear Icelandic night sky from the impressive geo-thermally heated outdoor pool, and from late September to March, even catch a glimpse of the extraordinary Northern Lights dancing across the sky. Guests can enjoy an exhilarating menu of outdoor pursuits, including heli-skiing, sea kayaking, whale watching in the surrounding fjords, astro-touring and fat biking special trails around the valley. To truly enhance the remote experience, guests can embark on an Eleven Life wellness retreat – a four-day programme that will push guests to their limits by combining a thrilling menu of outdoor adventures with physical and mental tasks and key lifestyle practices to take away from it. The key principles include stimulating challenges, outdoor adventure, spa therapies, fitness and nutrition, and where better to experience this than in some of the purest air and water in the world. Activities and challenges include laser tag in the wilderness, axe-throwing and sensory deprivation night walks, whilst spa treatments include The Viking Sauna, an incredible experience that combines drumming, breathing techniques, and hot and cold plunges to stimulate the immune system and test endurance.
