If your private island beaches are getting boring by April, here's an idea: Try the North Pole Igloos.
The luxury Igloos are made up of 10 heated (and moveable) glass domes situated on the North Pole's arctic glacier. According to Janne Honkanen, founder of the North Pole Igloos and other extreme hotels, the igloos are regularly moved around the glacier to take advantage of the best weather possible.
For a cool hundred grand per person, guests can spend one night on the North Pole glacier viewing the northern lights and becoming one with the wilderness. Only a thousand guests per year can take advantage of the experience, which is available only in the month of April. The excursion includes helicopter transportation to the igloos, security, food, and all the gear you will need. Plus, you get two nights in Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The locals claim Svalbard has more polar bears than people and there are 2,642 people.
Just visit Svalbard
If $200,000 per couple is too much to shell out, there are lots of hotels in Svalbard, and cruises around the archipelago. It may not be on the North Pole glacier, but it is high arctic with plenty of night light shows and snow. Hotels go for about $150 to $200 per night. Norwegian Air is one, among others, that flies into Svalbard regularly. You can also get there by cruise ship.
You'll find plenty of arctic adventures year round in Svalbard: Dog sledding, kayaking, snowmobiles, challenging arctic camping, tours on snowcats (big vans), ice cave tours, boat trips and sightseeing. Polar summer, May to September, is the warmest season when temperatures hit about 45 degrees F, which makes it possible to hike.
