Deluxe winter travel comes in all shapes and forms

Now let’s get to know some of the most-talked-about places among the elite travelers, we KNOW you will adore. 

Hint: Snowmobiles, ice hotels, eco-lodges, and perfect sun-glazed beach days—included!

Swedish Lapland - the very top of travelers’ bucket list

Are you feeling the Arctic trills? You should be! Because your winter wonderland accommodation in the Swedish Lapland is a hit! Yes, you are swapping cold for cold, but with a (good!) reason. 

Here you can enjoy a private wood-fired sauna, unique spa rituals with Arctic herbs and minerals, an outdoor hot tub, and taste some of the traditional Lappish cuisine delights prepared by a private chef. Savor an Arctic winter night—free from light and air pollution, and gaze at the ethereal Northern Lights dance across the Arctic sky, which is a 100% indulging experience!

Swedish Lapland is Europe's precious wilderness in a masterpiece style! A must-try list includes taking a dip in a floating spa hotel of natural remedies, sleeping in a one-of-a-kind ice-sculptured hotel—reinvented each December with the help of prestigious world-renewed artists, exploring the rapids of Storforsen firsthand, dog sledding and snowmobiling.

However, no affluent travel experience is complete without keeping up with the local traditions, so learning about the Sami indigenous community in Sweden, and meeting with local Sami reindeer herders is a vacay home run. 

Costa Rica - natural lushness heaven

Costa Rica is the undisputed champion of affluent eco-tourism. The hype is very much real, in case you were wondering.

Soak up lush rainforests head-to-toe without ever leaving your hot springs pool. This is your chance to be one with nature, and simply enjoy the moment. Bespoke deluxe private tours are your first-hand tickets to witness the true miracle of a majestic tropical landscape filled with exotic creatures like beloved sloths, howler monkeys whose nocturnal roars Steven Spielberg used as the dinosaur calls in Jurassic Park, butterflies the size of your hand, hummingbirds, toucans…

Luxury eco-resorts like Nayara Springs are the prime places for adventures—offering opulent accommodations within the jaw-dropping Arenal Volcano National Park perfect for trekking the old lava fields, bird watching, canopy tours, or horseback riding. 

If you seek ultimate relaxation, consider booking a private villa at the Four Seasons Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, where you can bask in panoramic ocean views, indulge in infinity pools, and enjoy personalized butler service that caters to your every whim.

Saint Barthelemy: Sophisticated Caribbean beauty

Luxury beach holiday goals—Checked! If you imagine a temple of sophisticated beauty with heavenly white-sand beaches that stretch along tropical coves just to meet the cosmopolitan atmosphere underlined in “art de vivre”—St. Barts in the Caribbean works like magic! 

This French-speaking island is the destination of choice for elite hedonists. This Caribbean wonder offers pristine beaches overwhelming you with their natural beauty, world-class dining options, chic boutiques, and a heady mix of relaxation and island glamour.

You can anchor in one of the bays on an ultraluxe private yacht or explore the luxurious accommodation options in this nirvana-invoking vacation paradise. There are some fantastic properties along the coastline overlooking the turquoise abyss, as well as contemporarily designed villas with poolside ocean views for immense pleasure.

Winter out of sight out of mind!

Let’s talk about timeless glamour! Located in the Engadin Valley of Switzerland, this alpine jewel has been a favorite destination of the global elite for more than a century.

Say hello to a shot of adrenaline, luxury, and winter excellence all in one, and with 322 sunny days a year, sun literary lives in the birthplace of Switzerland tourism. Corviglia, the local mountain, provides an extensive network of trails with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. Seasoned skiers can conquer the famous "White Thrill" downhill racecourse, while the well-groomed nursery slopes await the beginners. For more outdoor activities, have fun playing ice cricket and horse racing on ice.

Hotels like Badrutt's Palace Hotel and Kulm Hotel offer impeccable service, lavish rooms, world-class amenities, and a private butler service we know you will be delighted with. 

It is fiercely competitive on the affluent winter vacation scene, but all of the above options will keep you miles away from a mundane wintry season.

It’s a promise!
