January 17thIceland
Whether heli-skiing near the Arctic Circle in Iceland, casting for bonefish on a remote island in the Bahamas, exploring the canals of Amsterdam or making the most of the mountains in Colorado or the French Alps, world-class food and lodging are combined with highly knowledgeable guides exploring places only known to native insiders. Eleven Experience’s unofficial mission statement is to hear the words, “That was the best day of my life.” Going over and above to make sure they deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience is at the heart of their ethos. Deplar Farm opened at the end of April 2016 after being transformed from a working sheep farm into the ultimate retreat. Located in a remote valley surrounded by 3,000 ft peaks, guests can heli ski from mountain tops all the way to the ocean’s shores or fly fish some of the world’s most exclusive Salmon beats. Deplar Farm has 12 King Rooms and a bunk room with a maximum capacity of 28 guests. There is a bar, library, steam room, indoor and outdoor saunas and hot tubs, gym, heli pad, private theatre, saltwater indoor and outdoor pool. In the Winter Deplar Farm is available in private or semi-private helicopter load and activities include heli-skiing, ski touring, surfing, snowmobiling, sea kayaking and whale watching. In Summer it is available for exclusive use and activities include fly fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, surfing, whale watching and stand up paddle boarding.

The price includes private concierge, full guide service, all gear for activities with the exception of ski boots, in-house meals, all house alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, daily housekeeping and airport transfers to/from Akureyri.
