Emerging from a dramatic landscape of lava rocks and illuminated by the radiant Northern Lights, the ION Adventure Hotel is the last word on five-star adventure travel in Iceland. Around an hour’s drive from Reykjavik, the hotel is the perfect place to explore the country’s interior after a stay in the quirky capital.
The ION Adventure Hotel began life as an abandoned inn, that in the decades prior had served as a shelter for the workers of the nearby Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant. Since then, the imposing concrete structure has been radically transformed into a chic retreat that looks more like a crash-landed spaceship than a former watering hole for tired geothermal workers. Throughout the property, guests will find interiors comprised of driftwood and recycled materials, and an overall approach to design that seeks to amplify the gorgeous Icelandic surroundings. The main allure of the ION Adventure Hotel is its offerings of truly unforgettable adventure experiences, which range from cave exploring to kayaking and horse riding.

Iceland is celebrated as one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly countries in the world, consistently ranking among the top nations for equality and inclusivity. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2010, reflecting Iceland’s progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights. The country has also made history by electing Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir as the world’s first openly gay head of government in 2009, highlighting its commitment to diversity at the highest levels.
Iceland’s legal framework strongly supports LGBTQ+ individuals. Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited by law, ensuring protections in employment, education, and public services. Additionally, transgender individuals have access to legal gender recognition and healthcare without requiring invasive procedures, further solidifying Iceland’s reputation as a leader in LGBTQ+ rights.
The country’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community is centered in Reykjavik, which hosts the annual Reykjavik Pride festival—a major event that attracts locals and international visitors to celebrate equality and visibility. The city also offers a range of LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, and cultural spaces, providing a welcoming atmosphere for residents and travelers alike.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Iceland is not only a safe and inclusive destination but also a place of breathtaking natural beauty.
