The Northern Lights at Deplar Farm
Lodge Destinations
Guided Adventures
No Towns. No Lights. Just Aurora.
Troll Peninsula, Iceland
On the Troll Peninsula, darkness works in your favor. Deplar Farm sits in a remote valley with famously dark skies, where snow-covered peaks block any stray light and amplify the colors overhead. Our coastal microclimate brings clearer winter nights than most of Iceland—so instead of chasing the aurora, you simply look up and let the sky come to life

Guided Adventures
Explore by Day, Watch the Lights by Night
Spend your day exploring the Troll Peninsula—whale watching, snowshoeing, or touring remote fjords. As dusk falls, we’ll set up fireside après with hot drinks and winter-ready suits so you can watch the aurora roll in, warm and unhurried. Or, you can paddle out for an Icelandic rarity: surfing beneath the Northern Lights. Few places on Earth offer the chance to catch waves as the sky lights up overhead.
Wellness Under a Cosmic Sky
At Deplar Farm, the Northern Lights aren’t just a spectacle—they’re a backdrop to deep relaxation. Soak in our geothermal pool, unwind in the spa, or stretch out with yoga as the sky comes alive. It’s a rare chance to reconnect—with yourself, with loved ones, and with the energy of something far bigger. Few moments remind you of your place in the universe quite like this.

Big Lines. Bright Skies.
March at Deplar Farm delivers the ultimate Icelandic double feature: heli-ski untouched peaks by day, then watch the Northern Lights ignite the sky by night. With long daylight hours and deep snowpack, you’ll get maximum runs, followed by spring nights still dark enough for vivid aurora displays—all from one extraordinary home base.
*Please note: the Northern Lights are a natural wonder, and while we’ll do everything we can to maximize your chances, sightings can’t be guaranteed.
