This guide is an overview of the basic types of vacation there are, with some suggestions for destinations and activities to do once you get there. Whether you’re a thrill-seeking adventurer, a voracious culture vulture or a globetrotting gastronome, there’s something for everyone. Below is your travel list for 2024!
Action-Packed
If you’re a self-described adrenaline junkie traveling with someone who prefers a slower pace, the Maldives is a great option: have fun on a wakeboarding boat, snorkel beneath the azure sky and clear blue waters, or enjoy some TLC in one of the many plush hotels.
Peace and Tranquility
If you’re looking to destress, a trip away to Thailand, “the land of smiles” is certain to lift your spirits. Take time to wander the Buddhist temples before booking a massage in a beachfront hut. With hotels offering soothing activities like yoga and spa treatments, it’s the ideal place to unwind.
Resort Relaxation
Famous for the Monaco Grand Prix and the iconic Cannes Film Festival amongst other cultural delights, the Côte d’Azur (or to use its alternate name, the French Riviera) boast beautiful sandy beaches and luxury hotels with award-winning restaurants to return to after a long day of sight-seeing. The perfect location to build a personalized vacation.
Sun, Sea and Sand
With 118 islands to choose from, French Polynesia is the epitome of a tropical paradise. Steeped in Tahitian history and surrounded by sandy beaches and crystal clear water, there’s also no shortage of overwater bungalows, beach villas and hotels.
The Sounds of Music
Gilded opera houses and musical museums await in Austria’s capital, Vienna. Famed for classical composers like Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven (whose houses you can visit), this beautifully baroque city also offers luxury hotels ranging in style from modern minimalism to old-world extravagance.
Take The Scenic Route
The scenery in Italy’s top art destinations often appears as though it’s been painted in oils, with stunning architecture framed by distant Cypress trees and mountains. To fully immerse yourself in the home of Renaissance artists like Leonardo DaVinci, take a tour of all three: Venice, Florence and Rome.
Foodie Heaven
European foodie destinations come highly recommended, but if you’re ready for a taste of something new, Osaka is a fantastic choice. Known as Japan’s culinary capital, this exciting destination serves up a perfect blend of history, culture and dining experiences to delight the senses.
Wild Adventures
Glamping offers the best of both worlds: the majesty of the great outdoors, fresh air, beautiful scenery, with all the home comforts you could want. If you’re unsure as to whether you want to explore forests, mountains or take in ocean views, New Zealand has all three – and much more besides.
Go Your Own Way
The 5 C’s of luxury travel: community, culture, content (or activities), cuisine and customization, are originally a set of principles intending to optimize the experience of luxury travel from an industry standpoint. So use this guide and adapt it for your own use. Indeed, the best is to plan a personalized vacation around your authentic wants in order to create a vacation that feels personal and enjoyable.
