"Set deep in Iceland’s rugged interior, this property offers a rare combination of remote adventure and comfort: rooms centered on dramatic views, guide-led hikes into the steaming Hveradalir valley, e-mountain-bike rides, a waffle bar, and a hot spring where I’ve watched the Northern Lights in winter; the interiors and staff honor the site’s history with archival photos on the wall." - Erika Owen, James Taylor
"It doesn’t get more off-the-grid than this: hours from Reykjavik amidst the snowy peaks and untouched glaciers of central Iceland’s wilderness, you’ll find Highland Base, the sister property of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon. Spend your days soaking in the geothermal hot springs onsite, and your nights stargazing and for maximum seclusion opt for one of the freestanding pod-shaped “lodge” rooms." - Fiorella Valdesolo
"Set in remote Kerlingarfjöll, this One-Key property offers a chance to be at one with the wilderness, presenting remote luxury that centres the surrounding highland landscape as the primary experience." - The MICHELIN Guide
