## 5 Hotels That "Are The Vacation"

These extreme hotels & resorts are not just places to stay—but they are destinations in themselves, and just getting to some of these is a feat in itself. 

Some of these accommodations reach the "Extreme" category level due their location, others are due to what they are made out of, what you can experience while you sleep, or the guest you will have following you around during your stay. Lets dive into this short list of 5 of the most extreme hotels in the world. 

### **White Desert Whichaway**

**Location:** Queen Maud Land, Antarctica  
**Cost:** Approximately $60,000-$105,000 per person for an 8-night stay

![World's Most Extreme Resorts](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b2/5a/b25ae1cc-57ff-42d2-b189-680f1dd95ffc/content/images/2024/07/White-Desert-Antartica.jpg)

  
White Desert Whichaway Camp in Antarctica is a testament to human ingenuity, providing luxury in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth. Located on the desolate and beautiful Queen Maud Land, this camp offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort, making it the ultimate destination for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. This hotel is most certainly the most extreme based on price and location.   

**What Makes It Extreme:**

- **Setting:** Situated in the heart of Antarctica, guests experience the pristine and untouched beauty of the polar desert.
- **Getting There:** Guests fly from Cape Town, South Africa, to the camp on a private jet, making the journey as exclusive as the destination.
- **Activities:** Scenic flights, treks to nearby nunataks, ice climbing, and visits to Emperor Penguin colonies.
- **Major Attraction:** The highlight is a trip to the South Pole, where guests can stand at the bottom of the world.

What makes up the vast cost difference is if you want to take part in adventures and tours they offer once you are there, and lets be honest if you're going to Antarctica, you're not just going to be sitting in the room, even though that would be an option and save you $40,000\. Both prices due include your round trip flights from Cape Town, South Africa.
