Tucked into the remote Fljót Valley in northern Iceland, Deplar Farm is a former sheep farm turned extraordinary wilderness retreat. It’s designed for those who seek both adventure and stillness — a rare balance of high-octane activity and deep, soul-level reset.
Set against a backdrop of snowy peaks, black-sand coastlines and endless skies, this is a place where nature is raw and powerful, yet every comfort is thoughtfully considered. Whether you come for the heli-skiing and snowmobiling, or the geothermal soaking and silence, Deplar offers space to reconnect — with yourself, your group or the great wide world beyond.
This property is particularly suited to leadership retreats, team resets, creative residencies or seasonal restoration for those used to giving everything to others.
The Experience
At Deplar, no two stays are the same — itineraries are tailored daily by expert guides and wellness practitioners to meet the needs of each guest or group.
Winter brings deep snow and dramatic skies, ideal for:
• Heli-skiing (private or group)
• Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing
• Northern Lights watching from outdoor hot tubs
• Cold water plunges, sauna rituals and breathwork
In summer, long days and green valleys open up:
• Hiking, kayaking and e-biking
• Fly fishing and sea kayaking
• Horseback riding and coastal foraging
• Wellness days with yoga, sound healing and spa therapy
