Paris, Rome, and Barcelona are just a few of the destinations that come to mind when thinking of luxury vacations. While these are stunning tourist destinations, just about every continent on the planet has some pretty impressive sights. If traveling the world is on your bucket list, here are some of the most luxurious travel destinations to add to it.
Australia is probably best known for the city of Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, and you can get up close and personal to the reef when staying at the Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort. The resort itself features tennis courts, golf courses, a fitness center, and a luxurious spa for you to enjoy when you’re not on the beach.
You can also partake in sailing, snorkeling, diving, and even a helicopter ride over the island. The end to a perfect day will be completed by having dinner at one of the many restaurants with delicious food.
There are several beautiful places to visit across the entire continent of Asia, but Thailand is definitely one of the most beautiful places to visit. One of the biggest things that stands out about Thailand is its culture and traditions.
Thailand is also well-known for its cuisine, attractions, and luxurious spas, and resorts. The capital city of Bangkok is located near many beaches for those looking for a tropical vacation experience.
There’s hardly any other country that can compare to Kenya when it comes to safaris, and Ol Jogi is one of the best. This upscale and luxurious destination is a privately owned family ranch with cottage suites for lodging.
On your safari, you can expect to see baboons, black rhinos, and elephants. You can also enjoy other activities, such as horseback riding.
If the city life or tropical beaches aren’t for you, consider adding a trip to the Swiss Alps in Switzerland to your bucket list. This popular tourist destination normally attracts skiers, snowboarders, and other winter sports enthusiasts, but there’s much more to do if winter sports aren’t your thing.
There’s the Gornergrat Bahn railway that takes you over 10,000 feet in the air to get a scenic view of the Alps. You can also take a walk through Glacier Canyon to see gushing waterfalls and flowing streams, or take a train ride on the Bernina Express where you can visit both the North and South Alps.
The city of Cartagena in Colombia is a beautiful seaside city with so much beauty. The scenery boasts some of the most brightly colored architecture, lining the cobblestone streets. You can also take a day trip by boat to Islas del Rosario, which has some of the most gorgeous sandy white beaches in the world.
Cartagena has much to offer too— you can enjoy the cuisine along with a mojito. The city also has lively nightlife where you can enjoy salsa dancing.
Most of California’s wineries are located in the northern part of the state, just above the San Francisco Bay Area. Of all of the wineries in this area, Napa Valley is probably the most popular one— it’s one of the smaller wine regions, but it still boasts over 400 wineries for you to enjoy wine tastings.
You can also enjoy some delicious cuisine, take a hot air balloon ride, and relax in one of their spa resorts. Another good thing about California’s Wine Country is that all of the wine regions are within driving distance, just remember that car insurance is required in 48 of 50 states, and California is one of them. You might want to shop for a new insurance policy beforehand to make sure you get the best possible deal.
Whether you’re looking for a tropical getaway, a quiet cabin in the mountains, or a vibrant city with an even more vibrant nightlife, you can find any of these places on just about every continent. The world is a huge place, and there’s so much out there to experience.
