White Desert prides itself on being the titleholder of the most remote luxury camp on the planet and proves that exclusivity and comfort can shine even in the most inhospitable places. Although it may not seem possible, camping at forty degrees below zero in the depths of the frozen desert is not only feasible but also desirable.

The resort makes the dreams of the most adventurous travelers come true: relax in a sauna with views of the glacier, hike through ice tunnels, or interact with emperor penguins. It is also a proposal for sustainable accommodation, as it has achieved carbon neutrality since 2007. A luxury adventure!

Rates start from €62,500 per person, including flight from Cape Town to Antarctica, six-night stay, meals, activities, etc.

What is the most tranquil hotel in each country? This world map tells you.

Fogo Island Inn (Canada)

Fogo Island Inn, located in Newfoundland, has only 29 rooms and suites with stunning ocean views. The destination features no less than seven seasons, including the berry-picking season and ice season, allowing guests to discover the island from completely different perspectives.

Set against the rugged subarctic landscape, the surroundings of the accommodation offer dozens of ideal trails to delve into the incomparable beauty of the area. During their stay, travelers can partake in activities ranging from whale watching and cod fishing to embroidery and pottery workshops or boat-making classes. Here, the call of nature has never been clearer. Rates start from €950 per person per night.

Three Camel Lodge (Mongolia)

Only certain places have the power to awaken the wildest side of the traveler, and that is the case with Three Camel Lodge, located in the Mongolian slice of the Gobi Desert, one of the largest in the world. The complex consists of 40 traditional yurts (gers) used by nomadic Mongolian families, allowing access to unique experiences such as riding a camel along the winding dunes of Moltsog Els, getting to know the culture of nomadic peoples firsthand, or enjoying regional dishes in a gourmet picnic under the starry desert sky. Rates start from €800 per person per night.

Amankora Bumthang (Bhutan)

There is a place where culture and tradition blend in unique harmony. This is the Bhutanese district of Bumthang, which literally means "beautiful field" and is home to 29 temples and monasteries. There, next to the Wandichholing Palace, lies the Amankora Bumthang Lodge, where travelers can embark on experiences marked by culture and spirituality, such as participating in the unforgettable butter lamp offering at the Taktsang Monastery, learning to master the ancient art of archery, or white-water rafting in the rapids of the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers.

Bhutan has traditionally been known as one of the happiest countries in the world, and this recognition is not by chance. In the five spas of the hotel, guests can undergo treatments using Himalayan plants and herbs to rejuvenate body and soul. Rates start from €900 per person per night.

Sheldon Chalet (Denali, Alaska, USA)

Situated in a privileged location, practically at the top of a nunatak on the Ruth Glacier, Sheldon Chalet is more than a mountain refuge: it is a genuine oasis among the peaks of the Alaska range, overlooking the frozen nature of Denali National Park.

Only accessible by helicopter and without coverage or Wi-Fi, it is the perfect place for those seeking to disconnect from the world without giving up the homey warmth or the comfort of having a private chef. While flying over the glaciers of the Susitna Valley, travelers may catch sight of local wildlife: moose, bears, caribou, or coyotes among others. The hexagon-shaped space offers five luxurious rooms with exceptional panoramic views to witness the northern lights. Rates start from €2,300 per person for a minimum of 3 nights.
