Echo

Echo

Inspired by astronauts, used by explorers. Perched atop a glacier overlooking the Drygalski Mountains, like being on another planet.

Echo Base

Echo is the closest you can come to leaving Earth without boarding a spacecraft — a frontier outpost inspired by astronauts, shaped by explorers, and set in one of the most surreal landscapes on the planet. Perched in quiet solitude on a vast, shimmering glacier, the camp is framed by towering nunataks and sculpted rock formations that rise like ancient monoliths from the ice. Arriving here feels like stepping into a future imagined in the golden age of space exploration: clean lines, gleaming surfaces, and views so expansive they blur the boundary between reality and the cosmic. Every direction reveals a world that feels profoundly remote, a place where silence becomes its own atmosphere.

As White Desert’s most avant-garde camp, Echo captures the thrill of exploration and the wonder of stepping into the unknown. Its refined, space-inspired interiors merge cutting-edge design with the warmth and comfort synonymous with White Desert luxury, creating a sanctuary that feels both transportive and deeply grounded. Inside each pod, floor-to-ceiling windows frame this vast, dreamlike wilderness, allowing guests to take in the immensity and quietude that define Antarctica.

Whether you’re sharing stories over cocktails in the communal area or watching the midnight sun spill across the glacier, Echo offers an experience that feels less like a stay on Earth and more like a glimpse into outer space — a rare moment where familiar perspectives fall away, leaving only awe.

...one of the world’s most audacious eco-luxury projects, featuring an otherworldly design set in an even more otherworldly landscape.
