WPANORAMICPERFECTION

hile most hotels pride themselves on their views during the day, you’ll want to make the most of this spectacular setting when it becomes dark. Located in Hella, the heart of southern Iceland, and available through Off the Map Travel, Panorama Glass Lodge consists of a clutch of four glass-encased igloo style houses, each of which offers truly spectacular views of the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun. Each house (named for Nordic gods) is constructed with wood, steel and glass in a design inspired by traditional Scandinavian homes, and is located in a surreal, remote landscape ensuring plenty of privacy. Interiors include sustainable custom furnishings, intimate kitchenettes, separate glass saunas, outdoor hot tubs, and local Sóley Organics in the bathrooms. The property will open a smaller West Iceland location later this year. Of course, the most important spot is the bed, which is dressed in locally-sourced blankets and which offers the best Aurora spotting on the island. panoramaglasslodge.com
