The Best Luxury Destinations in the World
Content and CRM Executive
Everyone deserves a little luxury in their life. Whether you have the cash to splash or simply want to be somewhere that exudes grandeur, these are the destinations we think you should visit to experience a taste of the high life.
Our Culture Trips are all about immersing you in a destination, but that doesn’t stop us from treating you to some opulence here and there. From luxury wilderness lodges to the most sophisticated spots on the Med, these trips are designed to make you feel special.
Croatia, for oysters, fine wine and island-hopping adventures
Something about the crystal waters, glowing sunshine and remote islands of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast exudes opulence – it’s no wonder that the Roy’s, Succession‘s disjointed billionaire family, spend the climax of season two sailing around the island of Korcula. You’ll get to experience the region, albeit via a slightly smaller boat, on our eight-day trip as we hop from the mainland to Vis and later Korcula, where you’ll get to explore the densely forested island’s vineyards, olive groves and medieval towns. You’ll also sample excellent indigenous wines in Lumbarda, before returning to the mainland for oysters in Ston – renowned the world over for its slurpy seafood delights.

Santorini, for living the Greek high life
The beauty of Greece is that you can pick an island depending on your taste and your budget. If you’re looking to really treat yourself, then the only real option is Santorini. There’s something so pristine about those whitewashed walls and pretty little blue-domed churches, while top class restaurants and famously incredible sunsets set the scene for an indulgent Mediterranean retreat. Our eight-day island-hopping odyssey around the Greek Cyclades finishes here, having started off with a whistle-stop tour of Athens, followed by relaxing retreats in the lesser-known islands of Milos and Naxos. After relishing in undiscovered beaches, quaint fishing villages and the very best of Greek cuisine, there’s no better place than Santorini to watch the sun go down over your holiday.

Southern Italy, to discover the true meaning of la dolce vita
For as long as people have had money to lavishly spend, Italy has been a favourite destination for the partying princes, the flashy businessmen, and the glamorous film stars. It’s not hard to see why, either, with those glorious summers, glistening coastlines and world-renowned gastronomic delights. Nowhere exudes glamour quite like the winding wonder of the Amalfi Coast, which is the starting point of our 10-day Seductive Southern Italy trip. Experience la dolce vita as Fellini defined it by cruising on the Tyrrhenian Sea before crossing over the eastern coastlines of Puglia. There you’ll discover the olive groves and vineyards of the Itria Valley, the stunning beaches of Polignano a Mare and the extravagant architecture of Lecce, the Florence of the South. If the fashion capital of Milan and bougie background of Lake Como are more to your taste, then check out our Classic Northern Italy Rail Trip, while the island of Sicily has recently staked its claim as the go-to luxury destination thanks to season two of The White Lotus.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
