Forbes magazine has put Iceland at the top of the list of the ten coolest placest to visit in 2015. Luxury travel manager Owen Gaddis selected the places on the list. As reasons to visit Iceland he cites Deplar Farm, a new luxury resort opening in north Iceland in 2016.
" Largely uninhabited, Iceland is a place where trolls and fairies are rumored to wander the painted hills, jump the ice crevices, bathe in the natural hot springs and scale the misty cliffs. Somehow, once there, he notes, this seems entirely possible. “Traveling to Iceland is like being transported to a parallel world where every waking moment is filled with adventure, incredible landscapes, folklore and understated pleasures. It will make you believe in the magical again,” says Gaddis, adding that the country offers river rafting, fishing, diving snorkeling, surfing, caving and hiking.
It seems that Beyoncé and Jay-Z agree with the Forbes selection as they are reported to be coming on an Iceland holiday in the next few days. News site Nútiminn reports that the couple will be celebrating Jay-Z's birthday in Iceland and will be staying for a week. Among the activities planned for the couple according to Nútiminn's sources are a flight over the Holuhraun eruption and a stay at the Trophy Lodge.
