The pinnacle of polar luxury and adventure in Antarctica

In the heart of Antarctica, on the shores of the ice-free Schirmacher Oasis, Whichaway Camp offers a luxury retreat in one of the most remote places on Earth. With six state-of-the-art "Polar Pods", all heated and with interiors designed to evoke an old-world feeling, you get to experience the stark beauty of the White Continent without sacrificing comfort. But the real lure of Whichaway Camp lies in the adventures that await.

Explore the mesmerising ice tunnels, challenge yourself to climb the Nunatak mountain, or feel the adrenaline surging as you abseil down a 100-metre cliff with breathtaking views of blue ice. For deeper immersion, explore ice caves, scale icy cliffs, or join enlightening polar talks to uncover the secrets of this remote and mysterious wilderness. You'll have the opportunity to picnic atop a summit with ice that’s over 1,000 years old, join an excursion to meet a colony of 14,000 emperor penguins or embark on a rare journey to the Geographic South Pole.

The communal area of Whichaway Camp is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring a cosy lounge and library where you can unwind after a day of adventure. Adjacent to the lounge, a newly added sauna and ice plunge bath offer the perfect way to warm up or invigorate your senses, while the Wellness Pod, set serenely on the edge of the lake, provides a tranquil space to rejuvenate.

Dining at Whichaway is a highlight in itself, with gourmet meals served against the impressive backdrop of glacial landscapes. Here, you can indulge in hearty breakfasts, refined dinners, and carefully curated lunches, all prepared by the camp’s expert chef. On select occasions, when time and adventure allow, you may also be treated to an exclusive multi-course tasting experience, complete with award-winning wines from Cape vineyards – an unforgettable surprise to elevate the journey.

If you want to escape the world as you know it and delve deep into the wild unknown, then Whichaway Camp is your ultimate destination, inviting you to explore, relax, and connect with one of the planet's last true frontiers.
