The New Way of Luxury Travel
It’s all about creating memorable moments and enriched experiences.
Luxury travel has different meanings to each of us.
Having access to a private beach or enjoying a week in an all-inclusive resort.
Island hopping with your own luxury yacht. Relaxing at the French Riviera or shopping in one of the high end shopping malls in Asia. It’s all possible and for sure, you can’t wait to go back out there, now the world is opening up again.
We fully understand the psychological effect of “The time is Now”, and many of us are ready for new exciting and extravagant trips. And while booking an all-inclusive resort can be fun, how about creating life-long memory trips and once-in-a-life-time adventures instead?
Time to reflect
2020 / 2021 gave us time to reflect on what is important; we became more aware of our personal wellbeing. We realized that life means more, and with traveling, we are focussing more on the experience and culture aspects, immersing ourselves into special chosen destinations, and above all, stay away of the well known tourist traps!
This means visiting new places, actively seeking out and engage in things that makes it an empowering trip. This includes, going local, eat their food, learn about the history of a place, speak to the people who live there and so on. It’s all about experiences to enrich yourself and engaging in a more intimate way. That’s what we call “Experiential Traveling”.
Exploring unfamiliar destinations, unique discoveries, memorable moments, and enriched experiences with no limits, to expand your horizons.
Ways of Experiential Traveling
If you want to know how you can create wonderful memories, that are new and exciting to you, I hereby point out several options.
Having unique and memorable eating and drinking experiences. Immerse yourself in the local cuisine. Eat in a local restaurant once or twice. And while it might not be about the scenery perse, it’s more about having a feast of flavors that will explode in your mouth cooked with love by a local chef. Or if you like to cook yourself, why not sign up for a cooking experience where you learn the tricks to produce a local recipe, to wow your friends next time they come over to your residence.
Spending your money on your wellbeing through wellness summits, spirituality retreats, and resorts that focus on self-care which includes energy treatments, yoga, healthy snacks, and guided meditation. For those looking for a true getaway to relax, recharge and rejuvenate, there are serene oases all over the world that offer specific treatments with a regional character, local traditions, and so much more.
Feeling like an astronaut. Experience the weightlessness, and enjoy breathtaking views of Earth. With several providers for space tourism, you will have a truly “out-of-this-world” experience in these special private commercial spacecrafts.
Stay-over events, these are the new way of experiencing a brand and/or event to the fullest. Think of intimate events where you are gathered with a small group of like-minded people in a boutique resort or private villa with a main program on event-day and a specially catered program around it on the other days of your stay. A great way to get to know other people, yet also experiencing the exclusivity and special vibe for several days in a new and inspiring environment.
Being one with nature and animals in the most caring way to preserve their habitat, and being able to experience the luxury of simplicity. When staying in a private getaway in nature, you will enjoy the atmospheric quality: the way light enters your room. You will see how the interior is connected to the landscape. And most of all, how the doors will open up a new world where your feelings and senses of smell and hearing will be rejuvenated.
There are many more ways to create an experiential traveling program. However, it’s these kinds of experiences, where your feelings and excitement matters, rather than just going places. These are exactly the kinds of experiences that we crave, and need in times like today.
Sustainability
An important factor nowadays is taking an interest in local businesses, by stimulating the local economy, or by exchanging a dialog and thoughts with the indigenous populations. You will contribute to the creation in a way of green tourism in line with eco-responsible ideas. Moreover, thanks to its sensory dimension, experiential tourism gives the traveler a role as an active and involved actor.
Where would you go?
Choosing experiential traveling has its advantages: it can be done close from home or on the other side of the world. So where would you go on your next trip?
