Experience Iceland in luxury with Jacada Travel. We’ll create a tailor-made Iceland tour just for you. With some of the most dramatic landscapes on the planet, Iceland sits on the rim of the Arctic Circle.

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice, it’s these two elements that have shaped the island, giving it its unique topography and astonishing natural landmarks. This is a country where ice fields stretch out towards the horizon; mighty glaciers carve their way through mountains, thundering waterfalls crash to the ground and geysers spew hot water and steam into the crisp, Arctic air.

It’s safe to say, when it comes to natural splendour, Iceland is hard to beat. This is a country made for exploring, where one will be spending most of their time in the great outdoors. From racing across lava fields in a Super Jeep and kayaking through the glistening waters of a glacial lagoon, to hiking up mountains and quad biking across black sand beaches, Iceland is one big adventure playground. And, of course, after a day of activity, there’s nothing better than sinking into the thermal waters of its naturally occurring hot springs.

Iceland is a country for all seasons. In the winter, you have frozen waterfalls and, if you’re lucky, the Northern Lights. During the summer you can experience three days of constant sun and the thawed interior tundra. Situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, it’s the perfect stop-over between the US and Europe.

Your luxury Iceland tour can include as little or as much as you like. We’ll help you explore this beautiful, dramatic and varied country, alongside our excellent local guides, whether you’re looking for adventure tours or Northern Lights experiences. From accommodation to activities to transport, we’ll take care of everything so you can fully enjoy your exploration of Iceland.

Dan Rhodes

Travel Designer

The volcanic activity of Iceland is humbling. The natural energy that both sustains and threatens the islanders’ way of life makes its inhabitants and visitors connected, acutely aware of the power of our earth in a way that most are not. The lunar landscape of lava fields and towering glaciers make this an unforgettable island to explore.

Luxury accommodation in Iceland

There are many incredible places to stay in Iceland. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Reykjavik

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

Located in the heart of an 800-year-old, moss-covered lava flow, the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland brings a new level of immersion and luxury to the iconic landmark. 62 suites are wonderful architectural creations, with cool, modern interiors and vast glass walls revealing the dramatic volcanic landscape outside and terraces surrounded by the steaming waters. An astonishing underground spa journey mixes dry heat, steam heat, massage, fire and a cold air well, culminating with the Blue Lagoon Ritual where you experience the geothermal seawater’s revitalizing mineral salt, silica and algae. Rounding out the wellness experience, Moss Restaurant has a menu that moves between Iceland’s mountains, farmlands and sea to show of the best of the island’s cuisine. The restaurant also features a chef’s table, a lounge, and a wine cellar deep in the centuries-old lava.

Golden Circle

Torfhús Retreat

The remoteness of this snug hideaway is a most attractive feature to those looking to flee from the flurry of city life. Set in close proximity to Iceland’s Golden Circle, within driving distance of the Great Gullfoss waterfall and the Great Geysir, Torfhús Retreat encompasses 25 inky-black cabins, lined with turf. Interiors are accentuated by alpine wooden ceilings, panels and furniture, merged with leather seating, soft rugs and warm lighting. A cosy lounge area allows guests to unwind in the comfort of their cabin, or if they’re wanting to relax while taking in the rugged scenery, they can make use of the basalt hot tub outside. A homely communal area calls for board games in between sips of mulled wine, and the on-site restaurant offers an ever-changing menu, inspired by local produce and the catch of the day. A classic Icelandic breakfast is served every morning, and hearty soups and fresh bread are available during the day, ensuring ample sustenance for adventuring in the wilderness. If guests can pull themselves away from the salubrious waters of the tub, various day excursions are available, such as horse riding, helicopter sightseeing, fishing, mountain hikes and glacier tours.

Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Found beside the Snæfellsjökull glacier and a vast, windswept beach, within a lava field on the dramatic peninsula, Hotel Budir is surrounded by an array of surreal scenery and indeed, a true wilderness retreat. Settle into your room here and look out to these incredible views of mountains and inlets from your room’s cushioned window-seat. Then, relax from your day of glacier hiking with a soak in your rolltop bath. Further cosy, scenic spots can be found throughout the property. The common room is filled with leather sofas sitting by roaring fires and large picture windows, while the bar offers a telescope and floor-to-ceiling views of seals playing in the bay. There is also a sense of both tradition and romance here, from the sepia photos to the framed memorabilia that adorn the walls and the restaurant’s candle-lit tables which create a lovely gourmet setting.

Northern Iceland

In a remote valley in the middle of the Troll Peninsula, Deplar Farm is perhaps the most unique place to stay in Iceland. Once a working sheep farm, this sprawling property with its grass roof may look traditionally Icelandic on first glimpse, but its luxurious transformation into an opulent lodge soon becomes apparent. There are 13 en suite rooms that accommodate up to 28 guests, including cosy family options. The rest of the farm is home to a fabulous indoor-outdoor salt water pool and bar, a sauna, gym, dining area, spa, lounge area and more. How you experience this incredible landscape depends on the time of year you visit. During the winter, opt for the heli-ski package to fly up onto the surrounding peaks then slalom down virgin runs to the ocean accompanied by expert guides. You can also go cat skiing, hot spring hopping, snowmobiling, whale watching and even surfing (for the brave). End the day back at the lodge, under the glow of the Northern Lights with a little luck. Long summer days bring fabulous fly fishing on exclusive beats and the chance to join a local captain at sea, returning to Deplar to eat your catch. Hiking guides can lead you on trails along endless valleys and dramatic cliffs dotted with waterfalls or perhaps kayak down dramatic rivers and out at sea. Other activities include horse riding, mountain biking and day trips out to nearby islands.

Southern Iceland

Found in the perfect spot of Southern Iceland for outdoor lovers, the log-cabin Ranga Hotel is a cocoon of warmth, ideal for relaxing after Northern Lights viewing and glacier touring. This cosy hideaway boasts uninterrupted panoramas from all parts of the property. Guestrooms look out to the East Ranga River or Mount Helka which are best enjoyed with a soak in your private jacuzzi – drink in hand. If you fancy something a little quirkier, opt for one of the lavish suites. Themed on the seven continents, they are filled with weird and wonderful touches such as Aztec wall-hangings, a didgeridoo, bearskin and bison head. Facing the salmon-filled river, the reputable restaurant features a farmer’s market concept. Local produce and freshly-caught seafood is prepared here to create delicious Nordic dishes with a Mediterranean twist. Venturing outside to the barely polluted rural skies, the luxury amenities continue. Three outdoor hot tubs heated with geothermal water provide an unforgettable place to watch the aurora borealis dance across the sky, while the astronomical observatory with its roll-off roof and telescopes offers superb stargazing.

Southern Iceland

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is a brand new hotel in Hnappavellir, a popular climbing area. The location is perfect for nature lovers, as it is right between Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, two of Iceland’s most spectacular natural attractions; a hiker’s paradise. Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon offers 104 rooms with all necessary amenities as well as a restaurant and bar.

Icelandic Highlands

Black lava fields and cinematic panoramas dominate Iceland's stark and volcanic interior. A no-mans-land of raw beauty without towns or villages. An exciting place to explore in 4x4 jeeps or snowmobiles, on the unmade roads and tracks.

Northern Iceland

Captivating, with a character all of its own and home to Iceland's second city, the energetic town of Akureyri. Visit charming hamlets of traditional turf houses and wonder at bizarre rock formations and crashing waterfalls.

Reykjavik

A region of wonderful variation and brimming with exciting excursions and natural highlights. Great for outdoor pursuits, fascinating viking history and a delicious dining experience for foodies.

Westfjords

Remote, breathtaking and well and truly off the beaten track. Stretching out towards Greenland into icy waters, this corner of northwest Iceland is a land dominated by deep fjords and mountains that plunge into the sea.

When to visit

Iceland is a fantastic place to visit year-round. The winter months’ long nights are the best time to witness the Northern Lights, whereas long summer days are great for hiking and adventure activities. Snowmelt in the spring makes Iceland’s waterfalls even more spectacular, while autumn is quieter and the first snow’s contrast with the reddening mosses is particularly photogenic.
