ION Luxury Adventure Hotel
Located on the slope of the Heingidl volcano, just 18 km from the UNESCO-protected Thingvellir National Park, the hotel seems to grow out of the mountain and hover in the air, resting on clouds of geothermal steam. The abundance of thermal springs nearby not only supplies the rooms with hot water, but also serves as a constant source of steam, which envelops the base of the structure and creates the illusion of a floating building.
The cost of accommodation starts from € 496 per night for a 2-bed room.

To maintain confidentiality, the company does not provide the exact address of the bubbles until they have been booked and confirmed with an advance payment. The price starts from 28900 ISK for one night in the room.
At the moment, only 5 bubble rooms are available for booking. Each of them has its own name: Una, Asta, Thorunn, Valdis and Maria. The room has a bed, a bedside table and a safe.
