According to People Magazine, the “Sorry” hitmaker and his collaborators stayed at the Eleven Deplar Farm hotel in Ólafsfjörður, Iceland, and made sure to enjoy every bit of luxury the facility had to offer.

The small, luxury lodge is a restored sheep farm at the edge of the Arctic Circle and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it the ideal getaway destination for Bieber to avoid distractions as he aims for a career resurgence.

“He seemed at peace, and the Iceland setting seemed like it was the perfect retreat,” a source told the news outlet.

A rep for the hotel and spa said that Bieber and his colleagues “disappeared into the quiet brilliance of Flóki Studios, tapping into the inspiration born from seclusion and untamed beauty.”

The insider added that “they immersed themselves in everything the lodge has to offer—from invigorating cold plunges to fireside sauna sessions, heli-snowboarding, fat biking and more.”

News of his retreat comes barely a week after Bieber fuelled rumors suggesting he was using drugs after sharing a series of snaps where he can be seen smoking what appears to be a bong on his Instagram account.

The “Peaches” singer shared photos of himself recording music in a secluded studio surrounded by mountains.

In one of the photos, Bieber’s friend, Australian singer Eddie Benjamin, can be seen playing a guitar, but a closer look shows Bieber through an open doorway in the left corner, appearing to be smoking from what seemed to be a bong.

In another snap, he can be seen standing on a patio with a picturesque mountain view behind him and what appeared to be a bong on the floor with Benjamin next to him puffing on cigarettes.

If the reports are true, Bieber’s fans can rejoice as they’ll have the pop star’s new album to dig into soon enough.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source shared that he’s “very close” to finishing a new project and had picked a Nordic country to “vibe out” alongside several of his collaborators.

The insider said the father-of-one is in “great spirits” as he has been hosting “jam sessions” at his Los Angeles house in recent months. Some attendees to the sessions include his longtime DJ Tay James, musical director HARV, SZA collaborator Carter Lang, and Australian artist Eddie Benjamin.

Bieber has also tapped talents like U.K. singer and songwriter Sekou and producer Dylan Wiggins, among other lesser-known music makers that he discovered on social media and enlisted via DMs.

“He’s making music, he’s helping to run a fashion brand, he’s a new father — he’s got a lot of things going on in his life,” a source told Page Six.

As he works on his upcoming album, past members of Bieber’s close circle have expressed worries that the singer isn’t doing well financially following a series of distasteful events.

Bieber hasn’t released a new album since he dropped “Justice” in 2021, and was forced to cancel his Justice World Tour the following year after he was diagnosed with type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this made him lose out on an estimated $90 million in income he would have earned from the tour.

Although he saw his net worth jump to $300 million after selling his catalogue for $200 million in 2023, a source told the New York Post that “people are worried about him” and the heavy spending lifestyle he has adopted as he “hasn’t worked in a really long time.”

It has seemingly gotten so bad that his wife, Hailey, is said to have “become kind of the breadwinner” and is also a big spender.

“These two are traveling on vacations every two days on Instagram, they’re running around with full-time security, and there’s no money coming in for a long time,” the source noted.

“She’s keeping up with the Kardashians,” the insider shared, adding that her spending has made for clashes with Bieber’s staff.

“Rhode hasn’t made any money yet,” the first source said. “If they sell, she’ll make a lot of money. There’s no money that comes out of it. It’s all going back into marketing … If they sell Rhode, they’ll be exponentially wealthy, and I really hope they do.”
