Sustainable luxury
So you want to indulge yourself with the best possible accommodation, service, transportation, dining, and shopping experience out there. We hear you! But, why not do it in a way that makes planet Earth proud?
Eco-friendly luxury hotels and resorts are high in demand, and high-end travelers are looking for options like farm-to-table dining with locally sourced ingredients, or choosing carbon-neutral hotels, treehouse villas, or solar-powered resorts for a perfect vacay.
When it comes to outdoor activities—the latest buzzing trends for the Y2024—proclaim eco-conscious outdoor activities to be the supreme choice. Exploring coral reefs with a marine biologist aside can become a very unique and revealing experience.
Private island resorts
Don’t let anything cast a shadow on your deluxe travel experience. Choose (wisely!) a private island resort for a dreamy journey that will make you feel stress-free and blissfully rested.
There are plenty of options to consider indeed, and some of the most extravagant include a stay in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, indulging yourself in a celebrity-owned villa in the Caribbean, or renting the entire Necker Island for absolute privacy and pleasure.
Adventure expeditions
Say 'Hooray' to the adventurous vacation in high style, because this deluxe traveling trend is here to stay! Learning survival skills, multi-activity adventures that include climbing and yoga in Italy, hiking, kayaking, and fine dining in Iceland, or witnessing and exploring the wonders of wildlife—like whale watching are the best ways to max out your travel experience.
Wellness retreats

The latest trends update for 2024 is very specific when it comes to prioritizing your well-being. Nourishing your “Om…” personality in a spiritual quest, restoring your health with the help of world-class doctors, and all the other activities you might need for a physical, mental, and emotional reboot are absolutely recommended.
Consider spa treatments, healing sessions, purification rituals, yoga, meditation, anything that whips you into shape, and helps you ultimately relax body and soul.
Cultural immersion
Cultural immersion is that fabulous *OMG moment* of high-end journeys that lives forever in your soul. Opening your mind to different cultures and extraordinary places that go beyond top-tourist attractions is a rewarding experience.
Local immersion is like a gigantic Pu-pu platter with endless choices. So don’t stop with attending local festivals and traditional activities—like playing the national sport, or crafting artisanal products. Choose a local family homestay experience to get the sensation of a true domestic atmosphere.
Digital detox
You are on vacation—and YES—it’s time to go offline! Pinky swear it’s not as dramatic as it might sound. So hear us out. A new trend in premium traveling is telling you to get unplugged and recharge while doing the things you enjoy—100% moment present. Try spa treatments, Latin dance classes, or guided hikes in a tranquil desert surrounding for a change.
Going underwater
Time to take a big breath jet-setters! Because you are going to be amazed by all the options out there. You can charter a private submarine or go cage diving with sharks in South Africa, snorkeling with stingrays in the Caribbean, or try underwater volcano diving in Indonesia. Consider dining at an underwater restaurant in the Maldives for an astonishing experience. The choice is yours!
Luxury glamping
Reconnecting with nature without giving up on posh perks is something you don’t want to miss. Forget about sleeping bags on the ground, and say welcome to tents with cozy beds and lavish linens, private ensuite bathrooms, chef-created cuisine, and flora-identifying walks. High-end wilderness experiences are so versatile and comfy—just give them a go!

And with custom-built luxury expeditions—everything is possible! Go and see the polar regions and spectacular Northern Lights, or cruise the Galapagos Islands if you please!
Remote destinations
Forget about revisiting the magnificent places you have already seen! It is time to pack your things and go far, far away without sacrificing an ounce of luxury!
Try exploring some beautiful landscapes in Thailand, the new Cambodia deluxe hot-spot resorts, or the dramatically luxurious Costa Rica hotels.
Luxe digital nomadism
Jump on the lavishness bandwagon as a digital nomad working and traveling in opulence. Because…why not? Being location-independent is a great opportunity to switch off from your daily routine and explore some extravagance abroad.
This trend is becoming so popular among affluent travelers because it delivers a wonderful balance between self-care and work.
