Luxury Holidays in Greenland

It might be argued that there are no hidden corners of the world remaining. All is mapped; all is known.

Greenland, the globe’s biggest island, with its vast ice sheet and small, hardy population, might be the rebuttal of this argument. There may be no other location that looms so large in the imagination, yet about which so little is widely known. Those who wish to discover more must make a journey into a realm that is North American in geography, Danish politically and Inuit in culture, notably in the west-coast capital, Nuuk. Here, as in other frontier settlements, colourful houses with steep roofs overlook leaden waters and family-run diners serve platters of smoked reindeer, musk ox and fresh cod. Everything beyond is vast, unspoiled – a symphony of fjords and glaciers that play host to some of the planet’s best whale watching and northern lights tours. All just waiting for those with the will to discover it.
