@ Panorama Glass Lodge
Panorama Glass Lodge is set within Iceland’s remote landscapes, where open sky, volcanic terrain and untouched nature surround you in every direction. Located in secluded countryside settings, these private glass lodges are designed to immerse you completely in the elements while maintaining warmth, comfort and refined simplicity.
Each lodge is built around a striking concept: floor to ceiling glass walls and ceilings that allow you to experience Iceland’s ever-changing skies from the comfort of your bed. Inspired by Nordic and Viking design, the interiors combine natural materials with carefully crafted details, creating a space that feels both modern and deeply connected to the landscape.
With only a handful of lodges spread across wide open land, privacy is central to the experience. Outside, a private hot tub and terrace invite you to soak in the scenery, whether beneath the northern lights in winter or the endless glow of the midnight sun in summer.
Your Wilderness Retreat, Your Way
Here, luxury is defined by simplicity, silence and the vastness of the sky. Wake to soft light over mountains and lava fields, spend your day exploring Iceland’s raw landscapes, and return to a space where nature surrounds you completely. Whether you are seeking romance, adventure or stillness, your stay unfolds entirely at your own pace.
Why stay at Panorama Glass Lodge?
Panorama Glass Lodge offers a rare opportunity to experience Iceland’s skies in complete solitude. Designed for those seeking something truly different, it combines architectural simplicity with raw natural beauty.
Here, the landscape becomes part of your stay. With minimal light pollution and uninterrupted views, it is one of the most immersive ways to experience the northern lights, while also offering a peaceful retreat for rest, reflection and connection to nature.
Tailor Made Experiences may include
- Northern lights viewing directly from your lodge or outdoor hot tub
- Exploring nearby waterfalls, volcanic landscapes and scenic hiking routes
- Visits to geothermal areas and natural hot springs
- Horse riding or guided nature excursions through the Icelandic countryside

The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
Andrew
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
Faith
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
Tori
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.
George
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
