Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel by Minarc

View all 9 Photos

Hovering above meadows of moss covered rock in the solitude of Iceland stands the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel by Minarc. The landscape tumbles naturally all round, as if it had been waiting for the build to fit seamlessly. Welcome to a rejuvenating place where recycled and reused materials coexist with a gratifying getaway experience.  Great measures have been taken to ensure responsible care for the environment; for example the plenty of waters nearby are converted into geothermal energy for heat and hot water sources throughout. Likewise, the design of many windows eliminates the need for using lights during the day, conserving energy….preserving serene views of Lake Thingvallavatn and its surrounding mountains for visitors.
