Flân’ Club: Deplar farm, Iceland

The Flân’ Club celebrates hospitality locations that inspire us and hopefully will inspire you too. 

It doesn’t get more off-the-grid than the Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland.  The Deplar is owned by Eleven Experience, the Colorado-based high-end adventure-travel company. Located on a converted sheep farm, Deplar Farm blends into the natural landscape with its black timber cladding and living roof. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property embrace the surrounding peaks and allow for an optimal perspective on the colorful skies dancing outside. Days at the farm are packed with adventures year round: think whale watching in the surrounding fjords, heli-skiing, astro-touring, and fat biking groomed trails around the valley. Back at the lodge, guests can spend their entire days in the spa, hopping from the geothermal-heated indoor/outdoor pool to our Isopod flotation tanks and outdoor Viking sauna. In the winter, the pool provides front-row seats to view the magical Northern Lights. Totally down our Flaneur’s adventure trail.
