10 Luxury Destinations That Belong on Your Travel Bucket List

From France to the Seychelles, these luxe vacation spots are absolutely worth visiting.

After all the pandemic-related restrictions and isolation, many people are clamoring to book flights and make up for lost time. And since travel has been on the back burner these past few years, those with wanderlust are pouring thousands of hard-earned dollars into visiting the most luxurious destinations in the world. While luxury can be subjective—for example, "luxury" could mean staying at a boutique hotel in a quaint European village, taking a ski trip in the snowy mountains of Aspen, booking a wellness retreat in the desert, going on an action-packed African safari, or relaxing on turquoise beaches in the Caribbean —we think any trip is a luxury if you pack it with activities that speak to you. Here are 10 of the best luxury destinations around the world to consider for unrivaled natural beauty, exceptional hospitality, and over-the-top excursions and experiences. We’ve even provided hotel recommendations to make vacation-planning that much easier.

In this Persian Gulfside oasis, wealth runneth over in the form of flashy sports cars, modern architecture and man-made islands boasting panoramic views of the ocean and some of the world’s tallest buildings, including the 163-story Burj Khalifa. Start your trip with a business class flight on Emirates for the gold standard of in-flight luxury, including full three-course menus, twinkling star ceilings, and, yes, the famous bar featured in the second Sex and the City movie.

Where to Stay : Atlantis The Royal —which actually dubs itself as the “most ultra-luxury experiential resort in the world”—paid Beyoncé a reported $24 million for a one-hour concert as part of its opening weekend. Needless to say, it was symbolic of the lengths in which this brand-new hotel will take to provide an unforgettably extravagant vacation. The property is home to 17 world-class restaurants, 43 stories of modern suites, a holistic spa, as well as multiple pools with adjacent Bellagio-esque fountains. Cloud 22, a rooftop bar and club area with private cabanas and an oversized infinity pool, offers views of the entire Palm Island and is the building’s crown jewel.

The Bahamas

When it comes to Caribbean destinations, the Bahamas is having a major resurgance. Beyond its turquoise water that extends miles beyond its 700 coral islands, the famous vacation spot caters to a luxury clientele in many forms. Visitors can either enjoy the hustle and bustle of Nassau—which boasts five-star hotels, golf courses, and an abundance of ports to charter daily yacht trips—or they can venture to more remote islands like the Exumas, which harbor more private and secluded beachside experiences.

Where to Stay : Opt for an island that’s off the beaten path to really immerse yourself in the beauty of the Bahamas’ sand, sun, and palms. The Abaco Club on Winding Bay stuns with a world-renowned golf course, beautiful beaches, and members of this private club have the ability to rent entire waterside homes for intimate soirees.

Norway is certainly worth adding to your luxury travel bucket list. The Scandinavian country features a wonderful range of topography, so guests can visit pebble-lined beaches, majestic fjords, green-capped mountains, and even plush forests. Its commitment to sustainability and preservation puts nature at the forefront, making it one of the most breathtakingly scenic regions on this list, no matter the season.

Where to Stay : Consider a start in northern city Trondheim at the trendy Britannia Hotel (which also hosts Norway’s most famous Michelin-starred restaurant, Speilsalen ) before heading outwards to reside at waterside Naustet Stokkoy . This well-appointed modern lake house boasts a full chef’s kitchen and oversized wooden deck where you can dive for scallops. If the planning is overwhelming, Up Norway specializes in creating individualized itineraries for the luxury traveler and incorporating hidden gems, like the stunning Øyna Cultural Landscape Hotel , which is built into a mountain and camouflaged by surrounding foliage.

There is no shortage of places to explore in Italy. After all, its nickname, Bel Paese , translates to “beautiful country.” One can, of course, find splendor in its range of delicious food—especially when there's a table set among breathtaking backdrops like the sun-drenched valleys of Naples, the canals of Venice, and the cliffside towns of Amalfi Coast. Italy is proof that the notion of luxury can be simple and straightforward if the food and its surroundings are allowed to speak for themselves.

Where to Stay : Rome's Hotel Eden has well-appointed, palace-like interiors that are filled with plush velvet furniture, pleated sconces, and floor-to-ceiling Italian marble. The staff goes above and beyond to make guests feel extra special with monogrammed leather key holders and a Rolls Royce car service. Book a reservation at on-site La Terrazza for what will be, perhaps, the most memorable meal of your trip…and maybe even your life. If you're craving something more low-key, consider the ultra-chic Grand Universe Lucca , which is located in an adorable town square in Tuscany with cobblestone streets and a weekend antique market that puts stateside options to shame.

The Seychelles

anse source d'argent taken at sunset from a drone

Located 995 miles off the coast of Kenya, the Seychelles has quickly emerged as the world’s premiere honeymoon destination—and rightfully so. The cluster of islands is so removed from modern civilization that it takes over 18 hours to reach by plane from New York. Aside from the feeling of complete seclusion, guests can go SCUBA diving, snorkel, sail, relax on private beaches, and hike mountains with panoramic views, making it equal parts relaxing and full of vigor.

Where to Stay : The Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas provide unparalleled service with private accommodations, a personal butler, and infinity pools that stretch deep into the steep cliffs that welcome the ocean breeze. Here, you have everything you need to feel relaxed, detached, and then some.

No list of luxury travel destinations would be complete without the inclusion of the Maldives. This South Asian destination is practically synonymous with opulence, known for its overwater bungalows that have visitors become practically one with the emerald ocean beneath them. This is the spot to kick up your legs and enjoy the dazzling crystal-clear water, eat meals with locally foraged ingredients like coconut, tuna, and chilies; and experience world-class, in-room spa treatments.

Where to Stay : No detail has been overlooked at Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa . In fact, the brand-new, word-class resort has been recently been ranked as one of the best in the world with its jaw-dropping architectural beauty and host of amenities like a spa, fitness center, and even a tea lounge—all perched above water teeming with brightly colored tropical fish.

Buenos Aires may be regarded as the Europe of South America, but the country of Argentina, which is larger than Texas and Mexico combined, is chock-full of other appealing areas deserving of fanfare. Natural wonders from massive waterfalls to glaciers can be observed during the day, and you can reward yourself after all your adventures with an incredible steak dinner (an Argentine specialty).

Where to Stay : Wander to wine country and book a stay at SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites . Several rooms come equipped with fully integrated in-room spa features and services, including a steam room, sensations shower, dry sauna, and massage table, so guests can enjoy wine-themed treatments, sip the property’s vino, and take in the sights and sounds of peaceful rural living. You can even book a private seaplane for luxury day and overnight trips to see the aforementioned sights in the Andes Mountains, Esteros del Iberá, and Patagonia.

In our desperate attempt to escape the stresses of everyday life, we sometimes forget the magnificence that can be found in our own backyard. Sure, a flight to Hawaii isn’t quick (at least for East Coasters), but this taste of luxury doesn’t require a passport, making it an ideal option for those who’d rather not go through customs and immigration upon arrival. The benefit of traveling to the Aloha State is the range of exploration — every island is unique, from hip and cosmopolitan Honolulu to Jurassic Park-esque Kauai. You can create a diversified itinerary to see it all, while not skimping on the five-star accommodations that will provide comfort during the off-hours.

Where to Stay : Head to Maui and stay in one of the well-appointed suites or villas at the Fairmont Kea Lani . All are just steps from Polo Beach, where you can observe whales in the winter and sunbathe, snorkel and swim all spring and summer. Don't miss E Ala Ē, a traditional Hawaiian sunrise chant on the resort's beach that helps welcome each new day.

From the lavender fields of Provence to the beaches of Saint-Tropez, it’s no surprise why many Americans fall in love with this romantic country and never want to leave. In fact, the effortless luxury and blasé attitude exuded by locals can be so extreme that you may not even feel worthy at times during your trip.

Where to Stay : The Four Seasons Hotel George V embodies French wealth and prosperity with gold-adorned furniture, light fixtures, and framed paintings fit for, well, a king. Just off the historic Champs-Élysées, the famed hotel’s suites enjoy some of the most impressive views of the Eiffel Tower with shops like Chanel, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent just a stone’s throw away.

While it is typically billed as an active, nature-filled trip, there are opportunities to explore this otherworldly island in style and comfort. Iceland has quietly emerged as a premiere wellness destination, thanks to its low population, vast uninhabited land, and ability to allow guests to disconnect from the world around them.

Where to Stay : The Retreat sits adjacent to Reykjanes’s famed Blue Lagoon, offering guests private access to the geothermal pools and the spa treatments that can take place in them. Views from rooms provide panoramic views of the ice blue water below, along with the craggy rocks that cradle them. The decor is muted and minimalistic, but calm and inviting, featuring rainfall showers and standalone tubs so guests can pamper themselves in between all the pampering that the hotel does for them.

9 Ultra-Luxe Experiences Across the Globe, from Spain to Bahrain

Whether you’re seeking personal enrichment, a romantic interlude, total privacy or the chance to pamper yourself in stunning surroundings, choose to live your best life — and create unique memories — as you follow this guide to the most exclusive and indulgent experiences across the globe.

As always, check for travel restrictions and closures before planning your trip.

Find Next-Level Luxury in a Private Villa with Pool and Beach

Just a chauffeured ride away from the glittering splendor of Dubai, Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa is a dazzling desert oasis where 42 exclusive villas with temperature-controlled pools, beach access and private dining decks offer the perfect pampering haven.

Après cocooning, head out on one of the resort’s unique experiences: saddle up and set out on horseback to spot rare Arabian oryx, try your (safely gloved) hand at the traditional sport of falconry, or step back in time as you explore Dubai’s Desert Conservation Reserve on a sunset camel trek.

Spoil Yourself on a Private Island

ritz carlton bahrain

For a beach atoll retreat with oodles of chic shopping, you can’t do better than The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain . Built around several lagoon pools and overlooking an endless swath of silk-sand beach, this tropical island hideaway with breathtaking views over the Arabian Gulf has its own upscale shopping arcade with six luxury boutiques.

Find respite in the property’s beachfront villas — ideal for family vacations, and book a pampering treatment in the spa. Cap off your day with a Champagne-pairing dinner at La Table Krug by Y , the property’s Champagne-themed gourmet restaurant — one of the property’s 11 dining venues.

Sleep in Exclusive Signature Suites

Prince De Galles Lalique Suite

Sleep is the ultimate indulgence, and there’s nothing like a signature suite to stimulate the sweetest dreams.

If you’re seeking a posh place to be pampered in Paris, make a beeline for the Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel’s ninth-floor Lalique Suite, where highlights include wraparound views of the Eiffel Tower and sleek, minimalist art deco decor inspired by France’s celebrated 19th-century crystal glass manufacturer.

Further east, find breathtaking Bosphorus views and Bentley-inspired decor — including curvaceous veneer-shined walls, secret Champagne bars and the luxury auto brand’s signature white-leather seating — in The St. Regis Istanbul’s utterly unique Bentley Suite.

Treat yourself to Michelin-Starred Meals

bayview restaurant lake geneva

Feasting your palate is the ultimate luxury. At Hotel President Wilson, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Geneva , fine-food lovers flock to Bayview by Michel Roth to feast on the chef’s creative twists on seasonally inspired French fare. Diners overlook dramatic Alpine peaks and the sparkling waters of Lake Geneva while they savor favorites like blue lobster salad and sea bass with shellfish.

In Spain, the Michelin-starred Enoteca Paco Pérez at Hotel Arts Barcelona is one of the Catalan capital’s culinary gems. Prime-quality seasonal ingredients are on the menu, and must-try dishes include the sublime porcini mushrooms with truffle-studded egg yolk.

At The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Aqua, panoramic views over Volkswagen’s magical Autostadt theme park are the prefect complement to chef Sven Elverfeld’s simple yet sophisticated menus. Innovative dishes here include Elverfeld’s mouthwatering, cloud-light Champagne cream sorbet.

Elevate Your Cocktail Experience

champagne bar

Whether you prefer yours shaken or stirred, you’re guaranteed to reach the pinnacle of cocktail sipping at these two venues.

You’ll need a password to enter Warsaw’s most secret Champagne bar, but it’s worth doing some detective work to sip succulent bubbly-based cocktails on the rooftop terrace of the Hotel Bristol, a Luxury Collection Hotel’s best-hidden drinking venue.

If you’re seeking more aromatic adventures, make a beeline for The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin’s legendary Fragrances bar, where one-of-a-kind, perfume-inspired concoctions include the Vaara, a heady blend of Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey, pear purée and premium cilantro brandy.

And for a sundowner you’re not soon to forget, head to SoBe at W Dubai – The Palm , the only rooftop bar on the Palm to boast 360-degree views that let you take in the Arabian Sea and the glittering Dubai skyline as you sip cocktails.

Indulge in a Personalized Wellness Weekend

falisia spa pool

If you believe health is wealth, you’ll love this bespoke wellness weekend at Falisia, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Portopiccolo on the blindingly blue Adriatic Sea.

Lap up divinely relaxing treatments in the spa as you gaze out over the glittering Gulf of Trieste, and then sup on super health-boosting treats prepared by top chef Matteo Bettega before spending a blissful night serenaded by the sound of waves in your ocean-view suite.

Steal Away to a Luxury Countryside Retreat

langley resort in the countryside

For laid-back living far from the madding crowds, you can’t do better than The Langley, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Buckinghamshire .

Just 20 minutes outside of London, this Palladian-style mansion in Buckinghamshire’s bucolic countryside is a slice of rural paradise. At The Langley, you can linger in landscaped gardens designed by the revered 18th-century landscape artist Capability Brown, indulge in Sisley treatments in a state-of-the-art spa or fill up on fine food in the hotel’s gourmet restaurant.

Spark Romance with a Private Cabana Dinner

st. regis doha cabana

Whether you and your partner have been together for many blissful years or you’re looking to pop the big question, you’ll find a special place to celebrate your love at The St. Regis Doha .

This elite hotel in the heart of Qatar’s tranquil capital has an exclusive range of private cabanas — with Jacuzzis — overlooking views of the shimmering Arabian Gulf and glittering Doha skyline. Lounge with your loved one in the hot tub while your personal chef designs a personalized dining experience for you in your cabana, creating and serving you a bespoke barbecue dinner.

Start the Day with a One-of-a-Kind, Floating Breakfast

floating breakfast al bustan palace

If you desire a twist on a standard room service breakfast, the divine Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Oman will more than satisfy your morning cravings with its Floating Breakfast.

An emerald-green oasis nestled among the Al Hajar Mountains, the hotel offers guests the chance to book a Lagoon Room, which features a private terrace and direct access to the property’s sparkling lagoon pools.

Guests staying in these rooms can wake up to an exclusive floating breakfast served on a buoyant tray in the lagoon pool just off of your deck. If the freshly brewed coffee doesn’t open your eyes, a dip in the lagoon while sipping your cuppa certainly will.

5 ultra-luxe travel ideas that deserve to be on your bucket list.

June 7, 2022 by Travel Maestro Leave a Comment

ultra-luxe travel

Travelers are stepping up their vacation game after a long pandemic pause. We’re talking private planes, resort buyouts, and private yacht charters. As travel resumes, people are planning more bucket-list trips and life-changing adventures. At the same time, enjoying distinctive experiences and spending quality time with loved ones became more important. For these reasons, ultra-luxe travel is on the rise.

What is ultra-luxe travel?

Ultra-luxe vacations are usually comprised of “exclusive use” travel components such as private transportation, accommodations, and experiences. The pandemic made us all reevaluate many areas. Travelers reprioritized vacations as a “need” rather than a “want,” and now they are making up for lost time. Although ultra-luxe travel carries a higher price tag than standard travel, many people view it as an investment in happiness and wellbeing.

The scarcity of exclusive experiences requires planning farther in advance, so they are often booked up one to two years or even more in advance. Travel Maestro tip: Develop a relationship with your vacation advisor and let them know what is on your ultra-luxe travel wish list so they can help you plan.

For inspiration, here are five ultra-luxe travel ideas to consider adding to your bucket list.

Embark on a thrilling polar adventure.

ultra luxe travel

Polar expeditions are a hot ticket right now, although a very small percentage of the world’s population has explored beyond the Arctic or Antarctic Circle.

  • Antarctica – Several luxury expedition companies cruise to Antarctica during the polar summer, November – February. You can go ashore to hike up a glacier, walk among penguin colonies, and do a Polar Plunge. For ultra-luxe adventure, take a private jet from Cape Town to White Desert, the most remote luxury camp on Earth, and visit the geographic South Pole.
  • Polar Bears – Churchill, Manitoba, on the western shore of Hudson Bay is the “Polar Bear Capital of the World.” During the thaw from June to October, 900-pound beasts spend time there before moving out on the ice. You can also try dogsledding, meet the local Inuit peoples, and maybe catch the Northern Lights.
  • Norway – Zoom through the rugged wilderness on a snowmobile and then set off in search of the northern lights. Venture to the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard to experience the lifestyle of the world’s northernmost community.

Reconnect with family-friendly luxury.

ultra luxe travel

Luxury resorts are at the top of every family’s bucket list. Here are some splurge-worthy retreats that go all out for the whole family.

  • Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, Florida – This resort is perfect for a classic family beach vacation with a little education thrown in. One of the best Ritz Kids programs in the country has daily activities like shark tooth hunts and Pirate Treasure Hunts.   
  • Moskito Island, BVI – Sir Richard Branson’s newest private island family experience is an idyllic playground for adults and kids. Sail, snorkel, hike, or take a beach picnic, all coordinated by the Island’s concierge.
  • Private villas – Villas are a top choice for multigenerational family get-togethers: hole up in  Costa Rica  for days spent surfing and swimming with nightly meals provided by a private chef, or stake your claim on an expansive, ultra-luxe villa overlooking Lake Garda in  I t aly  for cycling, sailing, and wine-tasting. 

Get on ultra-luxe island time.

ultra-luxe travel

Who doesn’t enjoy the warm sun, a sparkling sea, and easy-does-it island vibes? Add a magical sunset and a private beachfront dinner for ultra-luxe vacation relaxation.

  • The Maldives – with 1,200 private islands and some of the world’s best diving, a vacation to this remote, Indian Ocean destination is an exotic playground . Ultra-luxe resorts each inhabit their own private island where you stay in surreal, over-the-water villas, tranquil beachfront villas, or even the world’s first undersea residence.  
  • Greece – Charter a private yacht in Greece for an ultra-luxe island-hopping adventure in the Cyclades Islands. Let an attentive captain and crew take care of all your needs as you swim at deserted beaches, dine on world-class Greek cuisine, partake of the famous Mykonos nightlife, and watch the sublime Santorini sunsets.
  • Tahiti – The Brando is the ultimate private island resort located on French Polynesia’s breathtakingly beautiful atoll of Tetiaroa. Pristine small islands (motu) surround the three-mile-wide lagoon. Single and multi-room villa rates are all-inclusive and activities on land and sea abound.

Set sail on an ultra-luxe voyage.

ultra luxe travel

Cruising comes in many flavors – river cruising, ocean cruising, and expedition journeys. Travel Maestro recommends two ways to upgrade your cruise to an ultra-luxe vacation.

  • World Cruises – Many cruise-lovers would like nothing more than living aboard full-time in fine style. After all, cruising includes the ultra-luxe lifestyle of having a chef, dining server, housekeeper, pool attendant, concierge, and more at your service. World cruises up to 270 days in length are incredibly popular and the most luxurious voyages sell out in a matter of hours, up to two years before sailing.  
  • Suite Upgrade – All of the luxury cruise ships offer a top category ultra-luxe Penthouse or Owners Suite that is often larger than a spacious New York City apartment. They have multiple bedrooms, extra bathrooms, separate living and dining rooms, balconies with private hot tubs, and most include private butlers. Again, exclusivity sells fast, so book early to get the top category suites.

Get in touch with nature on an Africa safari.

ultra-luxe travel

From feeling the spray from thundering Victoria Falls to drifting silently above the Maasai Mara in a hot air balloon, Africa’s wilderness never disappoints.

  • Capture the Big 5 – Take your trophy shots (with a camera, not a gun) of lions, elephants, leopards, African buffalo, and black rhinoceros on an ultra-luxe Africa safari. Enjoy privately guided game drives by open vehicle, bush walks, and canoe. Stay in luxury tented camps and superb resorts overlooking watering holes. Be sure not to miss out on sundowners!
  • Gorilla Trekking – For a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, track Africa’s most famous residents, the endangered mountain gorillas, through dense jungles and misty rainforests. Wildlife enthusiasts will find the quest challenging and the prize thrilling.

Ultra-luxe travel is only limited by imagination.

By definition, ultra-luxe travel is distinctive, exclusive, and personal, so it can be any adventure you dream of. Covington vacation advisors excel at customizing travel with special experiences and are ready to assist you in upgrading your travel to ultra-luxe.

Roar Africa Safari

Travel specialists have never been more essential than they are right now, with their invaluable ability to pivot, re-book and offer advice. We picked 10 standouts in the luxury field from across the world, a directory of those who embody that above-and-beyond spirit essential in the past year.

Christoper Sitwell, Cazenove + Loyd

ultra luxe travel

Wilmot-Sitwell has been working in travel for more than three decades. The co-owner of a 16-person London-based agency specializes in long-haul luxury, often to far-flung sites in rural Africa and Asia. The team there spent much of 2020 canceling or postponing trips—most recently, unpicking rescheduled itineraries to the Tokyo Olympics when a ban on foreign spectators was announced.

The firm anticipated today’s conscious-travel concerns from the outset, always focusing on owner-run and locally staffed independent operations, such as preservation outfit Campfire in Zimbabwe. Cazenove + Loyd also offsets the entire carbon cost of its research recces via a partnership with CommuniTree , a 12-square-mile tropical reforestation project in Nicaragua. Clients can easily opt into this, too; anyone whose itinerary swoops through the country can visit the project and personally plant the trees.

Tanya Dalton, Managing Director UK, Greaves

ultra luxe travel

Dalton leads the UK office of this India specialist outfitter, which was founded by her Mumbai-born grandfather in 1978 and later run by her mother. With generations’ worth of in-depth experience and exclusive connections at her fingertips, she arranges custom trips as luxe as they are immersive. Depending on their interests, travelers may find themselves granted entrée to private palaces, sacred religious sites and landmarked government buildings; meeting with celebrated curators, authors, artisans, jewelers, chefs or astrologers; or exploring desert wilds while staying at plush mobile camps.

Dalton’s team—45 in Delhi and Mumbai, and 15 in the UK—helped extract some 40 clients from India at the start of the pandemic, as borders closed. Now she’s helping guests plan their return. On her radar currently are safaris to spot India’s rising tiger population, top-end hotel openings in Rajasthan and a new single-suite wooden boat that’s perfect for privately cruising the Ganges, Bhagirathi and Hooghly Rivers.

Jules Maury, Scott Dunn Private

ultra luxe travel

Maury runs this offshoot of the UK-based travel firm, focused entirely on bespoke itineraries. Much of her work during the pandemic involved extended stays for home-schooling families who were looking to live and work in a new locale, whether spending two and a half months at Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives or a month in residence at Antigua’s Jumby Bay. Another guest commandeered the five-room Sheldon Chalet in Denali National Park, an ultra-secluded property accessible only by a 45-minute helicopter ride.

The SDP team follows multiple pro-social protocols when it travels and encourages clients to follow suit, including the Pack for a Purpose program, in which visitors pack requested supplies in their luggage for distribution at the destination. It’s laser-focused on ethical practices, too. Animal welfare is a priority, so providers that offer bullfighting or elephant riding are not used, and there’s a pledge that 90 percent of all operators will not provide single-use plastics to guests by the end of 2023.

Deborah Calmeyer, Roar Africa

ultra luxe travel

The Zimbabwe-born Calmeyer has carved out a discrete niche as the ultimate elite safari planner, with the ability to pull off near-impossible requests, even during the pandemic. Rwanda’s government requires a negative PCR Covid-19 test for visitors, but offers only the throat-swab version at Kigali airport—a problem for one Roar Africa client, desperate to go gorilla-trekking but phobic about anything touching his throat. Calmeyer set up a protocol change, arranging for a nose swab to be administered instead.

She has offices in Nairobi, Johannesburg and Cape Town, with the HQ in New York, and Roar Africa continued to pay drivers, freelance guides and its staff even during lockdown, as governmental support in situ was scant. Roar Africa supports several social programs, including an all-women anti-poaching academy in Kenya, which has so far graduated almost 30 fully trained rangers, and underwrites a scholarship at a college of tourism in South Africa that trains women to work at local hotels and lodges.

Catherine Heald, Remote Lands

ultra luxe travel

Remote Lands’ expertise centers entirely on planning ultra-luxury trips for Americans to Asia, with offices in New York and Bangkok, plus country managers in every locale.

Heald and business partner Jay Tindall try to ensure a positive impression both for their guests and by them, encouraging clients, for example, to fund the digging of a water well for a local family whenever Siem Reap in Cambodia forms part of the itinerary. Conscious of the higher carbon footprint of itineraries that span the continent, the pair deliberately minimize the number of flights, private or commercial.

Last year, a Texas couple who were planning to go solo to Asia to celebrate both his 70th birthday and their 40th wedding anniversary had to postpone, and instead Heald helped them turn their three-week, four-country trip into a reunion with their grandchildren, whom they plan to take along this November.

Beks Ndlovu, Founder of African Bush Camps

ultra luxe travel

Ndlovu has maintained momentum, despite the safari industry’s devastating year. The operator and hotelier kept his entire 600-person staff employed while also unveiling Khwai Leadwood, a new high-design lodge in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. It’s the latest in his eco-conscious properties; he has rolled out 16 of them in 15 years across three countries, a remarkable achievement. Each has a light footprint, via solar farms and water recycling, while also offering direct support to surrounding communities via the company’s ABC Foundation.

Even amid the logistical and medical constraints of the past year, Ndlovu seamlessly pulled off a recent journey for 14 people to Zimbabwe via private plane. “There was a lot of juggling, but it was well worth it,” says Ndlovu, who advocates for guests to spend their tourism dollars with brands that preserve wilderness areas and empower minorities and locals. “We continue to make the effort in identifying key talent that we can support and help rise to the surface.”

Cedric Reversade, Unique Properties & Events

ultra luxe travel

Luxury travel was already tilting toward villa rentals before the pandemic made the idea of privacy, and self-containment, even more appealing. The London- and Paris-based Reversade and business partner Koskas offer discreet access to the world’s best rental homes in hot spots like Saint-Tropez, Ibiza and Capri while also acting as a travel concierge.

Take the California client who had bought a piano nobile on the Grand Canal in Venice, just before the first lockdown—and for whom they managed to secure a visa even when borders were shut. They also arranged excursions in the city, like a day on Burano with the glassblowers and a night visit to San Marco. Or the polo-loving English client who ditched her Chelsea townhouse for a seafront estate in Ibiza they’d wrangled on her behalf as lockdowns loomed; she then took trips around Spain, including lunching with a retired rejoneador from whom she bought two horses to ride at her country estate.

Cari Gray, Gray & Co.

ultra luxe travel

Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Canadian expat Gray runs a lean team of about 10 with a particular expertise in active luxury. Take the trip to Argentina and Uruguay which shuttled her guests between cycling spots by private jet. It was due to start just as Argentina shuttered its borders last March, so Gray’s team pivoted, re-booking the group on a similar itinerary in California within 24 hours.

She’s determined that the lavish sums spent by clients truly uplift every destination, especially in developing areas. One pair of travelers sponsored GPS collars on a research project for rescued elephants at a local animal reserve in Namibia and witnessed the process firsthand. And an always recommended pit stop in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco is one of the late Eve Branson’s projects, which employs local women making crafts. It isn’t all do-gooding, though: Gray is renowned for arranging Michelin-caliber chefs to cater alfresco at the end of a day’s hiking.

James Jayasundera, Ampersand Travel

ultra luxe travel

Sri Lanka is one of the rare destinations in Asia that have managed to create a program that allows visitors to experience the country during the pandemic, and no one is a better expert to help navigate an itinerary in that new normal than Rome-raised Jayasundera and his five-person, almost two-decade-old firm. Visitors can stay in designated hotels, he explains, and even go sightseeing, as long as they remain in “bio bubbles” to protect the local populace from imported infection.

Jayasundera started early, noting the preferences of each of his 12-strong family as they traveled constantly in his childhood, and has made such attention to detail a hallmark of his commercial operation. Inclusivity is a longtime passion, with a strong presence in the LGBTQ community among both staff and clients, and efforts to use female guides where possible to offset challenges around equality.

Mark Duguid, Carrier

ultra luxe travel

The 60-person, Manchester-based Carrier plans less than 5,000 trips per year, allowing it to retain a reputation for flexibility. It’s willing to change itineraries within hours of departure and never charging amending fees. Duguid and his team were well placed, then, for the challenges of last year: See the couple from the UK who seized the chance to travel when permitted during a break in lockdowns, heading impromptu to the Maldives as an add-on to a last-minute visit to Dubai. Carrier recognized the appeal of the outdoors for travelers in the last year, too, and created an exclusive trip to Octola in Finland’s Arctic Circle, a five-star private wilderness reserve where local guides hosted open-fire lunches and ran excursions on husky sleds and snowmobiles.

Duguid reports a surge in so-called revenge spending, noting that the average booking value for 2021 has risen 90 percent year over year, with clients indulging in once-in-a-lifetime trips after lockdown restrictions loosen.

Laura stern.

Tara provided us with the best advice for a dream come true vacation for our family. We traveled to Four Seasons Maui based on her recommendation and it is a vacation we will cherish forever. From the family pool to the kids club, every aspect of her recommendations was so spot on to what we were looking for. I can't wait to book our next family vacation with her directly and receive all of the exciting benefits she now offers. Thank you Tara!

I travel every year with a small group of friends and we wanted to visit Costa Rica and make a few stops while there. Tara gave us the best advice for hitting all of the top spots and we ended off with what's now become our favorite hotel stay. Tara's expertise is top notch and I've recently enjoyed watching all of her travels now with her little ones

My go-to Four Seasons Advisor! No one I know has visited more FS properties than Tara. I've visited 2 properties based on Tara's recommendations and they did not disappoint. She is always super friendly and thoughtful when giving us recommendations. I look forward to booking with her and I highly recommend others to do so as well

Katie McCaul

Tara gives the best and most detailed travel advice of anyone I follow. I have been following her on @luxe.tourista for several years now and I am always inspired by her travel choices. She recommended we visit the Six Senses in Seychelles for our Honeymoon and we cannot stop raving about how incredible it was. We're expecting a baby in a few months and we will definitely look to her for our next booking!

I truly appreciated all advice and extra pointers in regards to choosing Four Seasons Costa Rica for my wedding. I was tore between both properties in Bahamas and in Costa Rica and you were so on point with the advantages and disadvantages for each property. So I would like to say THANK YOU for being such a big part in helping us make the best decision for our special day!

Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

You are here, about nizhny novgorod.

If you are still wondering, whether Nizhny Novgorod travel would be something you'd like to experience, let us help you - it would. This colorful Russian city full of cultural heritage might exceed your expectations since it has something to offer for everyone.

Reasons to Travel to Nizhny Novgorod

Art enthusiasts will surely enjoy the State Gorky Literature Museum which was named after the great Russian author Maxim Gorky. Bet you didn't know that Nizhny Novgorod was his birthplace? Do not worry, now you do.

There are also multiple art galleries and installations such as The Blogger's Bench which provides free Wi-Fi access if you are in the mood of blogging about your experience.

The musician community will not be disappointed as well, as the city has multiple live music bars and cafes open for the public and is often the place where great concerts are staged. If you are not that into art, there are plenty of other places worth putting on your Nizhny Novgorod itinerary, f.e., the grand red-brick Kremlin.

The Cathedral of Archangel Michael, which is actually the only church that has stood the test of time in Kremlin, along with multiple ancient towers is what makes this site a must-see. By the way, the magnificent church of St. Elijah is right around the corner, so make sure to make a little detour during your Nizhny Novgorod tour after seeing the Kremlin.

Another thing you should not miss during your Nizhny Novgorod sightseeing is the panorama of Strelka, overlooking the amazing view of the confluence of the rivers Oka and Volga and also the Fedorovsky Embankment, a perfect place for a stroll in the evening.

If you want to take a look at the scene from a different angle, hop on a boat trip along the two rivers! Nowadays Nizhny Novgorod is the fifth-largest city in the Russian Federation, somehow managing to maintain the unique heritage alongside its cultural versatility, thus looking at pictures is not enough, feel like exploring it yourself?

Best Things to Do in Nizhny Novgorod

  • Witness the ancient Novgorod Kremlin
  • Get inspired by the scenic panoramas of the Volga River
  • Explore diverse museums of Nizhny Novgorod
