14 'Luxury' Travel Experiences That Cost Less Than a Domestic Flight

14. The Untouched Splendor of Iceland’s Nature Retreats

Iceland’s nature retreats offer a luxurious way to experience the country’s stunning landscapes. These retreats, often located in remote areas, provide an opportunity to connect with nature while enjoying modern comforts. Guests can explore the country’s glaciers, waterfalls, and geothermal springs, all while staying in well-appointed accommodations. The cost of a nature retreat in Iceland is often less than a domestic flight, making it an ideal choice for those seeking adventure and luxury. The combination of natural beauty, adventure, and luxury ensures that a stay in an Icelandic nature retreat is both exhilarating and rejuvenating. For luxury outside the busiest South Coast/Golden Circle, consider Hotel Husafell (West Iceland, unique nature access) or quality countryside hotels in the North (e.g., Siglo Hotel in Siglufjordur) or East. Hotel Rangá (South) is excellent but often pricier. Approx. Price: $250 - $500 USD per night (highly seasonal; winter can be cheaper but with less daylight/access).
