The Guide to Iceland (the Thermal Spa, the Reykjavik Hotel, the Grindavik Hotel, the Northern Lights, the Icelandic Horses, the Food, the Buses and the Flight) from Pearl Escapes 2012

I used to get extremely burnt out in my old job and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel, flight or finding out what to do for a break. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did. I also realised, as I dipped my toe into spas, that there was so much confusing information about massages and treatments. I started writing my own guide, researching each experience personally, travelling around the world. This mini-guide gives you the Icelandic hotel, spa, restaurant and the rest, just the bullet, the escape in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes. (Only in this guide you get at least two hotels. This is Iceland, it likes to break the rules.) Iceland, whether or not you see the Northern Lights, is an incredible escape whatever the weather, (according to the Icelandic there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes).
