MASTER THE<br />
NORDIC BATHING<br />
RITUAL: SAUNA, COLD<br />
PLUNGE, THERMAL<br />
POOL, REPEAT.<br />
DEPLAR FARM<br />
TROLL PENINSULA, ICELAND<br />
WHY This remote, 13-room lodge is part of<br />
the Eleven Experience portfolio, a collection<br />
of hotels that excels at both adventure and the<br />
finer things in life. <strong>The</strong> surrounding landscape<br />
looks arctic, but inside, fireplaces, sheepskin<br />
rugs and woolly throws keep guests cozy.<br />
BEST TIME TO VISIT Heli-ski season (March<br />
through June) promises untracked summit-tosea<br />
runs, or if you travel between September<br />
and mid-April, you could catch the northern<br />
lights. In summer months, you’ll have your own<br />
playground to hike, fat bike, fish and sea kayak.<br />
NOT-TO-MISS EXPERIENCE Spa time should be<br />
savored at Deplar Farm. An indoor-outdoor<br />
saltwater pool, steam room, two hot tubs and<br />
skilled masseuses are the antidote to sore<br />
muscles. By the time you leave, you’ll have<br />
mastered the Nordic bathing ritual: Get sweaty<br />
in the in-ground sauna, cool off with a cold<br />
plunge, relax in the thermal pool, repeat.<br />
PRICE $2,600 per night based on double<br />
occupancy in summer, $5,050 per night<br />
based on double occupancy in heli-ski<br />
season, ElevenExperience.<strong>com</strong> ››<br />
