"For travelers looking to escape the Ring Road into Iceland’s remote regions, the Tröllaskagi Peninsula is a splendid choice. One of the most mountainous places in the country, a single road traces the rugged coastline, taking in views of the dramatic Northern Atlantic Ocean and connecting several fishing towns dwarfed by the gargantuan surroundings. Inland, the fog-kissed mountains are cut with several valleys, one of which is home to Deplar Farm. Sitting in a grassy meadow surrounded by imposing peaks, this turf-covered farmhouse is so quiet and unassuming that the odd traveler who does pass by wouldn’t have a clue that it is in fact one of Europe’s most isolated and luxurious mountain lodges. Run by the high-end and exclusive Eleven Experience, Deplar Farm offers adventurous travelers the whole experience. From heli-skiing in the winter to mountain biking and salmon fishing in the summer, there’s a gamut of adventures to enjoy with the hotel’s team of expert guides. Waiting for you when you return is world-class food prepared by a team of star Icelandic chefs, a heated pool with a swim-up bar, and cozy, elegant rooms that overlook the peaceful meadow."
"Housed in a 15th-century sheep farm tucked into a remote valley on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula, this intimate 13-suite lodge blends contemporary Nordic design with off-the-grid exclusivity and four-season adventure access—hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, kayaking, fly-fishing, and skiing. Guests can relax in a sprawling spa, geothermal indoor/outdoor pool, hot tubs, and sauna, enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of rolling hills and peaks, and dine on locally sourced meats in a guest-exclusive Icelandic restaurant; the property operates largely on renewable geothermal energy and emphasizes sustainability." - Nicholas DeRenzo, Elissa Garay

"This remote converted sheep farm curates complimentary minibars that can include Icelandic favorites such as Omnom chocolate bars, Nóa-Kropp chocolate balls, local beers like Sjarmör Lager and Naggur IPA, and house-made items like herbal hummus, sesame crackers and trail mix, all tailored to guests' dietary restrictions provided before arrival." - Nora Zelevansky
"Deplar is an achingly gorgeous, exquisitely appointed 13-room manor house in the Fljót Valley on the Troll Peninsula. My room abutted the spa, a refuge of palpable silence and lavender-scented tranquility. I slipped right into the indoor geothermal tub, and then swam underwater to the connected outdoor pool as the storm raged and wind stung my face." - Travel + Leisure Editors
