Iceland
6 nights · Reykjavík, the South Coast & Vatnajökull · Private driver-guide throughout
Glacier and lava, ocean and moss, adrenaline and stillness. This journey traces Iceland's southern edge to the great Vatnajökull ice cap, then returns west to soak in the mineral-blue waters of the Blue Lagoon.
Day 1 · Reykjavík & Inside a Volcano Fast-track assistance and your private guide greet you at Keflavík. Coffee and pastries in Reykjavík, then a private RIB out on Faxaflói Bay for whales and, in season, puffins. In the afternoon, descend by cable lift into the dormant magma chamber of Þríhnúkagígur volcano before settling into the a lovely room at Skálakot Manor.
Day 2 · Þórsmörk & the Black Sands A private Super Jeep heads into Þórsmörk, a glacier-guarded valley of birch, black sand and braided rivers. Walk behind Seljalandsfoss, then lunch privately: a linen-laid table in a cave behind a waterfall veil, or a chef's table by the river. Race buggies across black-sand beaches, then return for a 120-minute signature massage.
Day 3 · East to the Glaciers Basalt columns at Reynisfjara, the cliffs of Dyrhólaey, the mossy canyon of Fjaðrárgljúfur. Hike Skaftafell with your guide, then check into a suite at Hotel Glacier Lagoon, with its hot tubs and panoramic sauna.
Day 4 · On Ice & Among Icebergs Your private Zodiac weaves between icebergs on Fjallsárlón lagoon to the glacier's face. Strap on crampons for a private glacier hike and an introductory ice climb, then stroll Diamond Beach, where ice glitters on black sand.
Day 5 · Vestrahorn to the Blue Lagoon Vestrahorn's jagged peaks mirrored in the tidal flats, lunch in Höfn, then a short domestic flight to Reykjavík. A private transfer brings you to The Retreat at Blue Lagoon and your Lagoon Suite, which opens onto its own private stretch of geothermal water.
Day 6 · The Retreat Morning yoga, an unhurried breakfast, the Blue Lagoon Ritual, and a private tasting in the hotel's wine cellar.
Day 7 · Departure A last soak, with a private changing suite held after check-out, then your driver and VIP departure service at Keflavík.
