About Eleven Experience Deplar Farm

There’s no wrong time to visit Deplar Farm—summer brings endless daylight, while winter transforms the valley into a snowy playground with heli-skiing and Northern Lights.

In the hotel’s own words

The Lodge

Read moreShow less

Nestled in the breathtaking Fljót Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland, Deplar Farm embodies an adventurous spirit fueled by deep connections to extraordinary landscapes. Named one of 2023’s “Best Hotels in the World” on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, this reimagined 15th-century sheep farm features a turf roof and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase otherworldly views.

Summer at Deplar Farm brings long days under the midnight sun, offering endless opportunities for mountain biking, sea kayaking, world-class fly fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. Eleven® guests have exclusive access to Iceland’s premier rivers, including the Fljótaá, known for Atlantic salmon and Arctic char.

When winter arrives, the valley transforms into a snowy paradise, perfect for cross-country skiing, fat biking, whale watching, and astro-touring under vibrant Aurora Borealis displays. The region’s maritime snowpack and abundant snowfall make it a dream destination for heli-skiing, with rolling descents and ocean-to-peak terrain accessible via two on-site helipads. If flight conditions don’t cooperate, our guides lead ski touring and other winter adventures to ensure no down days.

Back at the lodge, guests can unwind in the geothermal-heated indoor/outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, Viking sauna, cold plunge, and luxurious spa facilities with flotation tanks and massage treatments. Freestanding and intimate, Deplar Farm’s design naturally encourages exploration, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring landscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $200 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
