Hotel Rangá | Iceland
Icelanders love New Year’s Eve. The darkest time of year calls for dazzling firework displays and singing and dancing around community bonfires. But to truly experience the best light show the winter season has to offer, visitors should head to Southern Iceland, where the unobstructed dark skies serve as a regular and optimal canvas for viewing the colorful Northern Lights (plus, wake up calls to ensure no missed opportunity). Hotel Ranga is one of the best places to not only catch the Aurora in her full glory, but to also easily access a myriad of winter adventures through the land of fire and ice. Think snowmobiling on a glacier, exploring ice caves, fat biking down a volcano, taking a Super Jeep to soak in snow covered hot springs, or climbing frozen waterfalls. Pro tip: book a stay in one of Ranga’s continent-themed suites and don’t forget to tour the nearby caves of Hella complete with a local whiskey tasting. Bonus: rates are cheaper in the winter months.
