ULTIMA GSTAAD PROMENADE
Gstaad, Switzerland / Suites: 9
Newly reimagined from a historic chalet once owned by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, this contemporary residence sits directly on Gstaad’ s iconic promenade. Blending refined Swiss charm with modern design, it sleeps up to 20 guests across eight ensuite bedrooms and offers the full Ultima wellness and privatechef experience in an ultra-central, design-led setting.

( Heli-Ski Ready), Norway, Iceland & high-latitude ski-touring regions / Cabins: 5
A next-generation explorer yacht built for remote, cold-climate adventure. Solace offers exclusive heli-skiing, ski-touring access and off-grid exploration in regions such as the Lofoten Islands, Iceland’ s Westfjords and, depending on conditions, Greenland. With a spa, cinema, and modular deck spaces, it is one of the most flexible and luxurious expedition platforms available for private charter in 2025 – 26.
HÖFÐI LODGE
North Iceland / Suites: 40
A little further afield, but firmly on our radar, Höfði Lodge in North Iceland is one to watch. Scheduled for a soft opening in 2026, this exclusive retreat will offer just 40 rooms, including generous suites with views across the dramatic Eyjafjörður fjord.
Designed as both a luxurious hideaway and a base for year-round exploration, the lodge will feature ski-in access, a full spa and wellness centre, rooftop bar, gourmet restaurant, and a curated menu of outdoor pursuits— think heli-skiing, hiking, horse riding, and fly fishing. Blending Icelandic wilderness with alpine-inspired elegance, Höfði Lodge promises a new standard of privacy and adventure in the Arctic North.
