Luxurious Vacation Ideas Around the World

We all want a vacation because it's an opportunity to get away from the busy world, and a great way to spend quality time with friends or family. It is also a chance to unwind. Different individuals, however, have various ideas about what makes  for an unforgettable vacation. Most people would prefer to stay in their respective countries and drive through the countryside in a motorhome or a cool sports car. Others find the attraction of modern and adventurous places more thrilling and are willing to travel long distances to get there.

Although the average individual can visit numerous vacation destinations, there are some that seem to appeal to those with an eye for luxury. Below are some vacation ideas that are ideal for those who desire luxury and enjoyment.

Relax in Indonesia

Indonesia, particularly Bali, has everything that luxury vacationers are looking for since it has been referred to as the "Island of the Gods." With mountains and hills as well as a sandy and rugged coastline, it draws the attention of people who want to get away from the limelight for a while. Indonesia is the ideal destination for rest and luxury. Its verdant volcanic mountains provide an attraction for adventurous travelers. On the other hand, its multitude of meditation retreats welcome those who need to relax and regroup in a peaceful setting. Aside from forests and yoga, Bali boasts several resort towns that are well-known for their nightlife, which most of the rich and popular people of Hollywood enjoy. Resorts such as Sanur and Nusa Dua are famous retreats, where visitors can enjoy Indonesia's coral reefs and beaches.

Go for a safari in Kenya

Home to the classic safari, Kenya incorporates some of the Earth's richest Big Five regions with truly grand and recognizable landscapes. The Kenyan safari experience is top-notch, with a broad range of transport companies, lodges, and tour operators welcoming thousands of tourists annually. For luxury's sake, Kenya boasts numerous camps that compete with the world's leading boutique hotels in terms of dining, location, and service. It offers experiences customized to their high-end clientele's tastes and standards. Guests can visit some of the world's most rugged and isolated areas. These are normally guided by tribesmen for whom these historic sites are an ancestral home. Helicopter flights that hit the remote shores of Mount Kenya's lakes, which are high in altitude, carry trout anglers to places that most people seldom visit.

Hike in the mountains of Colorado

Because of the incredible array of lavish rental properties, Colorado provides some of the world's finest natural views to the luxurious vacationer. You can choose from a selection of six-star, luxurious log cabins that have beautiful living spaces indoors and out. They also have splendid views of the surrounding rivers and mountains of Colorado. All luxury cabins boast elegant interior and exterior architecture, with facilities like a private chauffeur, chef, and masseuse home visits. It’s truly everything you need after a long day in the mountains. Besides being noted for its skiing, downtown Aspen in Colorado also features several unique designer stores, offering the luxury-loving tourist something to do when not exploring the scenic delights of the alpine surroundings.

Go wakeboarding and sailing in the Carribean

Everyone loves the serene, calming, and therapeutic vibes of the sea. The same goes for A-listers, celebrities, music makers, and more. Their love for the water goes beyond swimming, sunbathing, and watching the Carribean sunset. Visitors to these tropical waters engage in yachting, sailing, jet-skiing, and other water sports. Those who want to lounge while in the middle of the sea prefer yachting. However, it comes with a hefty price. Renting a yacht costs $5,000 at a minimum. Other water gear and services offered by established providers like Aerial Wakeboarding cost similarly, which makes this a hobby for the rich. For the millionaires and the billionaires that can afford these magnificent yachts, it costs them around $800 million.

Vacation planning is never an easy task especially if it involves luxury. But luxury doesn't always mean expensive madness. Next time you’re planning a getaway and you’re focused on a luxury experience, consider some of the recommendations above. Bon voyage!
