Slated to open this July, Highland Base sits deep in Iceland’s central highlands of Kerlingarfjöll. Here, you’ll find glacial rivers, steaming geothermal valleys, snow fields and panoramic vistas. Comprised of a hotel, lodges, hostel and camping accommodations, Highland Base will also include an on-site restaurant and new geothermal baths opening this October. While staying at the property, guests can enjoy direct access to hiking, biking and off-road adventures. Book the Highlands and Lowlands itinerary with Discover the World to see popular spots on Iceland’s Ring Road and stay at this new hotel.

Discover the World recently added an electric option on self-driving trip for this summer. With zero-emission car rentals, these trips use the country’s smart infrastructure of fast-charging points. With practically all of Iceland’s electricity generated from renewable sources, travelers can embark on a seven-night self-driving tour this summer.

New Icelandic Geothermal Trail
A wide range of new bathing experiences officially opened across Iceland over the last few years, adding even more options to enjoy geothermal bathing. Discover the World’s new Icelandic Geothermal Trail shows travelers how to create a road trip centered around 12 geothermal hot spots. The trail begins in Reykjavik and ends in Egilsstaðir in the east. Stops include a part of hot spring pools at Canyon Baths at Husafell, a soak in beer at Bjorbodin Beer Spa in Siglufjordur, a trip to Geosea at Husavik and time in Nature Baths by Lake Mývatn.

May 30, 2025By-the-cabin Yachting Redefines the Cruise Experience
I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.
