A former sheep farm under a living turf roof, alone in the Fljót Valley of Iceland's Troll Peninsula, where helicopters ski you from summit to sea and a geothermal pool steams in the snow.
Deplar Farm sits alone in the Fljót Valley on the Troll Peninsula, one of the snowiest corners of north Iceland: thirteen rooms under a living turf roof, a valley to itself, and nothing beyond the windows but mountains and weather.
In winter and spring the helicopters ski you from the summits to the sea; in summer the valley turns to salmon rivers, sea kayaks and whales under the midnight sun. The geothermal pool steams year round, and the northern lights come with the dark.
Every experience begins with a single click. Tell us when and with who and we'll design a world around you.
The lodge keeps the shape of the old sheep farm: black timber, a turf roof that runs into the hillside, and thirteen warm rooms behind thick walls, with the valley white or green beyond every window.
Held together the rooms sleep up to thirty-two; the whole farm is taken exclusively with ease.
The kitchen cooks what the coast and the valley give: langoustine and cod from the fjords, lamb from the hills, salmon from the rivers, served at the long table after the day outside.
Dinner bends to the day you have had; your designer arranges the private dining.
From late winter into June the helicopters lift from the lawn to ski the Troll Peninsula's summits, long descents that can end on the beach. Snowmobiles, fat bikes and ski touring fill the quieter days.
Summer turns the valley over to salmon rivers, sea kayaking, riding and whale watching; from autumn the northern lights take the sky.
The outdoor pool is geothermally heated and swims out from the lodge, steam rising into the cold; sauna, treatment rooms and a gym sit behind it.
A cold plunge, a long soak and the lights overhead is the local ritual.
The farm runs with its own guides and pilots, people who read the valley's weather daily and shape each day to it, alongside a warm house team.
Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the rooms, times the helicopter and stays one call away throughout.
The Fljót Valley is one of the snowiest places in Iceland, a fold of the Troll Peninsula where the mountains run straight into the Greenland Sea and the nearest neighbours are a valley away.
Midnight sun in June; northern lights from September to April. The remoteness is the luxury.
Everything here is to help you picture it. Your travel designer handles the arranging: the flights, the cars, the guides, the rooms held for you alone.
Heli-skiing from the lawn, long descents that can end on the beach.
Thirteen rooms and a valley to yourselves for a milestone.
Snowmobiles, rivers, riding and whales, from one warm base.
September to April, the sky performs over the geothermal pool.

The Satopia Advantage™
We hold the relationship with Deplar Farm, so we can hold your rooms together on your dates, or take the farm exclusively. From there a single travel designer composes every day around you. You simply arrive.
The right rooms, in the right season, matched to your party. The access a direct booking rarely reaches.
Every day composed by one travel designer: the heli-skiing and the guides, the flights and the transfers, present when wanted, unseen when not.
A few words from guests who have stayed at the farm, lightly shortened from their own reviews.
Skied from a summit to the black-sand beach before lunch, then watched the lights from the steaming pool. The guides read the valley like a book. Nowhere else compares.
We took the whole farm for a family week. The team outnumbered us, the food was remarkable, and the valley was entirely ours. Remote in the very best sense.
Iceland rewards a wider loop. A few we would pair the farm with, each arranged as one seamless experience.
The capital on the way in or out: harbours, pools and good tables.
