ION Adventure Hotel

This recipient of an acclaimed Boutique Hotel Award truly lives up to its name, offering the artful, sophisticated aesthetic of its design coupled with a luxurious spa amid breathtaking, expansive surroundings. Its centrepiece, a wooden-roofed pool framed by large pillars channeling the towering mountains of the terrain, nurtures privacy and a luxurious sensibility.

Highlighting comfort, sustainability, and a thoughtful design, ION Adventure prioritises guest experience at all corners. Its renovated building used to serve as the staff quarters for those working at the nearby power plant, but today, its organic bedrooms and artful accents, floor-to-ceiling windows, along with a natural spa and sauna with a prized outdoor heated pool breathe new life into this oasis, which is situated amid the sweeping, black-lava landscape of Iceland’s southern region.

The award-winning bar, with its myriad concoctions, lies adjacent to a restaurant specialising in new Nordic cuisine, locally-sourced materials and a slow food concept. Hues of the sea—turquoise and green—decorate the airy dining area, which overlooks a vast, stark landscape.

Venture outwards on an adventure tour organised by your exclusive travel specialist. A stone’s throw away from the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park, ION Adventure hotel is the ideal selection for the design-oriented guest with high standards for comfort and luxury.
