Buubble Hotel Iceland

An exterior view of a Buubble hotel room, a clear dome containing a queen-sized bed in the snowy forest, recommended by a JourneyWoman reader as a safe place for women to stay.

We visited Thingvellir, a UNESCO world heritage site; the Rift Valley; Geysir, a geothermal field of hot springs, boiling mud and exploding geyser; Gullfoss, a giant waterfall plunging down a curved three-step staircase with a 105-foot deep crevice; and Secret Lagoon, an intimate, secluded natural hot spring. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner (not included) before being whisked off to our private Buubbles, each far removed from the other but still close to the service house with a kitchen, showers, and washrooms. This is truly a remote destination with zero amenities, but there was a big, comfy bed covered in faux fur throws, a lamp, a heater, and absolutely nothing else.

She found the experience of being completely cut off from civilization but being so in touch with the natural environment – snow falling all around and over her in her bubble – extraordinary, serene, and quietly comforting. The Aurora Borealis may not have danced in the sky for her that night, but it still felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
