When you know Iceland a little, you tell yourself that Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel It could hardly blend in better with its surroundings than it already does. Less than an hour's drive from the capital, Reykjavik, the establishment seems to have sprung out of nowhere, built right in the heart of a lunar landscape. And because its geographical location (near Thingvellir National Park) makes it the ideal place to rest and relax after a trek in nature, Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel does everything it can to pamper its guests.

Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel offers two types of rooms: Deluxe Rooms and Standard Rooms. Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy organic cotton sheets, an eco-friendly shower bathroom, and Soley Organics amenities. The decor emphasizes white and wood for an ultra-comfortable atmosphere, but the real highlight remains the floor-to-ceiling windows, so you don't miss any of the view.

There's no doubt you'll enjoy being able to dine at your hotel's restaurant every evening: even though you're not that far from Reykjavik, there's a good chance you won't want to go out after a day of exploring the area: Silfra restaurant and bar welcomes you for a lunch or dinner focused on «slow food,» regional products, and culinary experimentation.

And if you need a little rest to better set off again to discover the island, the Spa, the outdoor pool, and the sauna are there for you. Finally, if you are not the king or queen of organization, entrust your stay to Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel: earth, fire, ice, or water, you choose your activities according to your favorite themes.

In a nutshell

  • A stay with the feeling of being at the end of the world.
  • An outdoor pool and a sauna for your relaxation.
  • A clean decor that perfectly matches the spirit of the place.

Restoring: Fish Market

Located in one of the oldest buildings in downtown Reykjavik, the Fish Market restaurant welcomes lovers of fish and meat dishes. The establishment is said to use the freshest ingredients in all of Iceland. The products are indeed purchased directly from farmers and fishermen. We particularly like the open kitchen and the option to eat at the bar. The dishes presented are elegant and flavorful, with Asian influences in many of the offerings.
