A Guide to the Perfect Luxury Vacation

Luxury means so many different things to different people, and its definition is constantly evolving. To some, luxury experiences will be incredibly personalized to the individual, to others, they will be sustainable. Luxury can be mountaineering just as it can be enjoying a relaxing day at a spa. The only thing you need to remember is to enjoy yourself completely, regardless of what kind of trip you are on.

Book a Luxury Accommodation

Hotels are the first place people think of when choosing a luxury accommodation, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Not only are hotels and resort destinations a step away from the local culture that makes every destination so great, they can actually be hurting the environment, as in the case of many tropical destinations including Boracay that are suffering from erosions caused by the development on its beaches. Hotels and resorts are great if you want to experience the weather, but not the destination itself, which is why anyone who wants more adventure, or anyone who is conscientious about the impact they leave on the world, a vacation home is a much better fit.

Not only can you enjoy absolute luxury, you can enjoy a personal, unique experience that is all your own. Enjoy a romantic getaway with your partner, or have a fun family experience in a home all your own. The only difference between booking this incredible accommodation is that, rather than visiting a hotel booking site, you visit VacationRenter.com.

Getting Around

One of the first things to know that where and how you get around your destination will depend entirely on where you are. In some places, renting a luxury vehicle will be your best bet, in others, it is to hire a taxi or even a personal driver. Know what is available and what is safest and most convenient for you so that you can get around in style.

Experience Luxury as the Locals See It

When you travel abroad, there is no reason to bring your own notions of luxury with you. You are going to experience new things, after all. So rather than try to recreate a luxury vacation you would have at home, be open to experience new definitions of luxury. This could be to visit a bathhouse instead of a spa, or it might even be to wake up before dawn to see the sun peak over the ridges of some of the most ancient sites in the world. You have to be up for adventure in order to truly enjoy a destination.

Luxury is about being able to choose. Your choices are your own, and while yes you are more than welcome to have the traditional luxury experience, you won’t learn about the world or how incredible it can be unless you get out there and try new things. If you don’t like it, that’s okay! What is important is that you challenge yourself and force yourself to be open to change, because at the end of the day we are only a small part of the world, and the world has a lot to teach.
