Caribbean luxury resorts.

START YOUR JOURNEY

EXPERIENCE MATTERS. WE’VE BEEN PLANNING CARIBBEAN TRAVEL FOR OVER 24 YEARS.

We are  Caribbean Travel Specialists with a focus on luxury hotels. Since the day Caribbean Journey opened for business over 24 years ago, we’ve spent countless hours researching and visiting the top  Caribbean luxury resorts.  Our unmatched first-hand knowledge of the region means your itinerary will include unique and authentic experiences to enhance your vacation. 

Deciding which island to visit is the hardest part of planning any Caribbean vacation. Our travel advisors don’t expect you to know where you want to go. After an initial consultation to gather the necessary details, we help you decide which  Caribbean destination  is right for you. 

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

We bring your travel vision to life, puerto rico.

Many  resorts in the Caribbean are very similar . While the internet is great for research, it’s plagued with inaccurate information. We help you decipher the information overload. Sometimes, the only differentiator is the vibe, which can only be determined once you’ve visited. Our in-depth knowledge of Caribbean hotels gives us the ability to translate this for you.

DISCOVER UNLIMITED BEAUTY

THERE IS A REASON THE CARIBBEAN IS ONE OF THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED REGIONS IN THE WORLD.

Artists have tried to capture her beauty in paintings; writers have attempted to describe it in words, but nothing can recreate the soul-stirring feeling that overtakes you when you travel to the Caribbean.

From soft sandy beaches and transparent turquoise water to bright green rainforest peaks that disappear in the mist, colorful architecture, and broad welcoming smiles, these scenes and the feelings they conjure up keep travelers returning to the Caribbean Islands  time and time again.

If you’ve visited the Caribbean before, we’ll show you a different side. Let us reintroduce you to the islands and help you step off the beaten path and explore as you never have before. If this is your first visit, we’ll guide you through one of the most relaxing vacations you’ve ever taken.

Travel Inspiration

As Caribbean Travel Specialists, we love every island for different reasons, and our list of favorite hotels is always evolving. Our passion goes beyond the Caribbean Islands and includes the sunny coastline of Mexico and the diverse landscape of Central America .

Use our website to draw inspiration for your next journey . When you’re ready to start planning, contact us . We’d love to introduce you to somewhere new and help you find your favorite Caribbean luxury resort, or if you decide to return to a place you love, we will enhance your Caribbean travel with new experiences.

TURKS + CAICOS

Caribbean travel destinations.

Not all Caribbean luxury resorts are created equal. The hotels listed on each island page of our website have our stamp of approval. Our Caribbean travel specialists invest significantly in experiencing every property we propose to our clients. The resorts listed on our website touched our hearts and exceeded our expectations. We use our insider knowledge to help clients decide on the best destination for their Caribbean vacation. Peruse the island pages linked below, our travel blog , and our Caribbean Journey Instagram account, and if the places we explore align with your travel vision, we are your people. Let’s start planning together!

TESTIMONIALS

Birthday trip to Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba

” Bucuti was absolutely amazing, fun, trip of a lifetime…perfect size resort for us. The staff were incredible as well as our room and food, of course, the beach! Thank you so much for your time and recommendation! “

Honeymoon to Le Toiny in St. Barths.

” Absolute perfection! It took us forever to decide on a hotel, but thankfully we listened and went with Le Toiny. I’m certain any place we had booked on our own would not have been as wonderful as this. Thank you so very much! “

Girlfriends Weekend to Nizuc in Cancun, Mexico

” We ate, drank, and floated all weekend! It was just what we needed. The hotel is an architectural gem and was so pretty to look at. The brunch was insane – I’ve never seen anything like it. We prefer to try new places, but I think we will be returning to Nizuc! “

Sunset Villa at Tryall in Montego Bay, Jamaica

” We loved Sunset and the staff at Sunset (Melva and Sonia were the best!). The villa was just what we wanted (to relax in our private pool or on our own beach). The villa was beautiful and we loved the open layout. We loved that we were on the beach (versus up on the hillside) and able to walk to the water sports center. Everyone was really nice and we would definitely return to Sunset. The food/drinks worked out fine and everything was yummy! Thank you again for all of your help. “

Family Vacation to Sugar Beach by Viceroy in St. Lucia

Sugar Beach was probably the nicest place I have ever been, both in service and scenery. We were upgraded to a Luxury Villa, with a terrace and plunge pool. The beach is incredible, and I couldn’t believe the snorkeling was that good right from the beach. We ate at Mango Tree at Stonefield Estate one night based on our taxi driver’s recommendation and it was very good. Thanks again for all of your help. Everything went very well! “

Travel with Kids

The benefit of making your child a citizen of the world is one that will significantly boost their development at a staggering rate.

While traveling with a child at any age may seem like a daunting prospect, experts claim that it can significantly boost development. They say travel can expand a kid's world, making them more empathetic toward cultural differences and helping them adapt to changing situations. It can even shape their linguistic development as babies.

Travelling essentially rewires the brain with brand new experiences that are inherently more valuable to our happiness than tangible goods. In fact, according to various neuroscientific studies, the experiences that we acquire during our travels, are actually key to building brand new neural pathways in our brain. This leads to us becoming more creative, adaptable, and accepting of new ideas, which in return, makes us happy!

Russia - Private Travel

Packed with Imperial palaces, domed cathedrals and superb museum collections, the historic cities of Russia cast a seductive spell.

East Russia offers the perfect off-the-beaten-path escape, particularly for nature-lovers hoping to catch sight of the famous black bears.

The pull of its fascinating history is what draws visitors to Russia, lured by the grand architecture, modern cities, luxury hotels, bucolic countryside and the stoic pride of its people. Moscow is the economic, cultural and political powerhouse, and the capital city since the 15th century. Beginning with the famous Red Square, you run the gamut of incredible architecture masterpieces and iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Kremlin and its cathedrals have come to be the visual cue of the nation’s image, as has Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Private luxury tours will take you down pedestrianized Arbat Street with its shops, restaurants and street performers and along Tverskaya Street for some upmarket shopping. The Tretyakov Gallery – the most visited in Moscow – is the supreme spot for absorbing classical Russian art. Many visitors to Moscow also manage the Golden Ring, a route through nine ancient towns in the northeast that have managed to hold onto their 14th-century flavour. Sites here are mainly religious – UNESCO-listed cathedrals and monuments. The cities include Ivanovo, Kostroma, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy, Rostov, Sergiev Posad, Suzdal, Uglich, Yaroslavl and Vladimir. St. Petersburg – founded by Peter the Great and commemorated by countless artists and writers – is a seaside paradise. It was only founded in the early 1700s – fairly young compared to some of Eurasia’s other significant cities. Thrillingly, it is Russia’s cultural heart, filled with art museums, opera houses and ballet stages. The State Hermitage Museum is the largest in the world at more than 700,000 square feet, its 120 rooms visited by one million people every year. A visit to Russia isn’t complete without a taste of the fresh air. The Russian countryside is primarily made up of rolling, treeless plains called Steppes. Four climates zones make for an interesting melange of plant and animal species, not to mention the various sporting activities: skiing in Rosa Khutor, mountain climbing in Caucasus, white-water rafting Altai Republic and hiking around Lake Baikal.

The Rise of Luxury Travel: Discovering the World in Style

• April 5, 2023

Luxury travel has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people seek to experience the world in the most lavish way possible. With an abundance of high-end accommodations, fine dining, and unique experiences tailored to meet the needs of discerning travelers, luxury travel offers an unparalleled level of comfort and sophistication. Avia.ge offers all this at lower prices than other companies. This article will explore the various aspects of luxury travel, including its history, the growth of this industry, and the experiences that define it. We will also look at some of the world's most exclusive destinations and provide tips on how to plan the perfect luxury getaway.

The History of Luxury Travel

The concept of luxury travel has evolved significantly over the years. In the past, only the elite and wealthy could afford to travel in style, with grand ocean liners and opulent train journeys reserved for the upper class. With the advent of commercial air travel in the 20th century, luxury travel became more accessible to a wider audience, allowing affluent individuals to explore the world in comfort.

Today, luxury travel has become a booming industry, with a myriad of options catering to the unique tastes and desires of high-end travelers. From private jet charters and five-star hotels to exclusive cultural experiences and personalized itineraries, luxury travel offers an exceptional level of service and attention to detail that is hard to find elsewhere.

The Growth of Luxury Travel Industry

Over the past two decades, the luxury travel industry has experienced significant growth. As the global economy has expanded, more people have the disposable income to spend on extravagant vacations. Additionally, the rise of social media has played a significant role in promoting luxury travel, with influencers and celebrities showcasing their opulent adventures for the world to see.

Another factor contributing to the growth of the luxury travel market is the desire for unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Wealthy travelers are increasingly prioritizing memorable and exclusive activities, such as staying in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives or taking a private helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. As a result, the industry has seen a surge in bespoke travel companies offering tailor-made itineraries and personalized experiences.

Defining Luxury Travel Experiences

Luxury travel is characterized by several elements that set it apart from standard travel experiences. These include:

Premium Accommodations: Luxury travelers expect to stay in the finest hotels, resorts, or private villas, often featuring opulent amenities such as private pools, butler service, and exquisite interior design.

Fine Dining: Gastronomy plays a significant role in luxury travel, with top-rated restaurants and exclusive dining experiences being a high priority for many high-end travelers.

Exclusive Experiences: Luxury travelers seek out unique and memorable experiences that are often inaccessible to the general public. This can include private tours of cultural sites, bespoke adventure activities, or exclusive access to events and venues.

Personalized Service: Luxury travel providers are known for their impeccable attention to detail and personalized service, ensuring that each traveler's needs and preferences are catered to throughout their trip.

Top Luxury Travel Destinations

Some of the most sought-after luxury travel destinations around the world include:

Maldives: This tropical paradise is renowned for its overwater bungalows, crystal-clear waters, and exclusive resorts, making it the perfect destination for a luxurious beach getaway.

Santorini, Greece: With its stunning sunsets, cliffside accommodations, and romantic atmosphere, Santorini is a popular choice for luxury travelers seeking a blend of relaxation and culture.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia: This idyllic island offers a range of luxurious accommodations, from overwater bungalows to exclusive private villas, as well as pristine beaches and incredible marine life.

Paris, France: Known for its elegant architecture, world-class cuisine, and upscale shopping, Paris is a must-visit destination for luxury travelers seeking a sophisticated urban experience.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Dubai is synonymous with luxury, featuring opulent hotels, designer shopping malls, and extravagant attractions like the Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah.

Venice, Italy: With its winding canals, historic palaces, and intimate gondola rides, Venice offers an enchanting backdrop for a luxurious European getaway.

Kyoto, Japan: Famed for its traditional ryokans, serene temples, and exquisite cuisine, Kyoto is the perfect destination for luxury travelers seeking an authentic Japanese experience.

Tips for Planning the Perfect Luxury Getaway

Work with a luxury travel advisor or agency: A knowledgeable advisor can help you craft a bespoke itinerary, secure exclusive experiences, and recommend the best accommodations and services to meet your needs.

Prioritize your interests: Focus on what matters most to you, whether that's exploring local culture, indulging in fine dining, or simply relaxing in a luxurious setting.

Book well in advance: Many luxury travel experiences and accommodations have limited availability, so it's crucial to book early to secure your preferred dates and options.

Be flexible: While you may have specific preferences, being open to new experiences and suggestions can lead to unexpected and memorable moments during your trip.

Consider off-peak travel: Visiting a destination during the shoulder or off-peak season can result in a more exclusive and peaceful experience, as well as potential savings on accommodations and activities.

Final Thoughts

Luxury travel is all about indulging in the finer things in life, from opulent accommodations and fine dining to unique and exclusive experiences. As the industry continues to grow and evolve, it offers more opportunities for discerning travelers to explore the world in unparalleled comfort and style. By working with a luxury travel advisor, prioritizing your interests, and being open to new experiences, you can ensure that your next luxury getaway is truly unforgettable.

Find the best cruise for you

Featured cruise deals, cruising guide, why take a cruise vacation.

If you have a place on your bucket list, chances are, a cruise will get you there – provided the destination is along a coastline or inland waterway. Cruises cover the world, taking millions of passengers each year to regions such as the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Alaska, Europe, the Mediterranean and even Antarctica. Cruising offers a tremendous value, with trips that include your lodging, meals and entertainment – all rolled into one. Some luxury cruise lines even offer fully inclusive vacations, which cover drinks and tours ashore. And best of all, cruising means seeing the world conveniently after unpacking only once.

Cruises also provide a wonderful option for families, with many ships offering things like waterslides, mini-golf courses and fun clubs for kids, tweens and teens. While most are free, nursery programs can cost extra. Planning is easy: Pick your destination and the right ship (and line) for your travel style. The cruise line makes it simple, offering packages to help you save on extras like alcohol, shore tours or even airfare.

Travelers say they choose to cruise because cruising often costs less per night when compared with land vacations at a hotel, where they'll have to book -- and pay for -- every extra.

What are Tips for Finding Cheap Cruises?

If you're a flexible traveler, you'll have a better chance of finding cheap cruises. Take a cruise that doesn't sail over the summer or holidays, when prices are highest. Book an inside cabin, or take your chances with a "guarantee cabin," ideal for passengers who aren't picky about their stateroom location but really want the lowest price available. Book cabins on lower decks, which often come with lower prices than those rooms on higher floors – that is staterooms over suites.

Cruise brands such as Carnival Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean International offer rates that might drop as low as $75 per person per night -- and sometimes even lower.

If you want a real bargain, consider a transatlantic or repositioning cruise. These cruises are one-way or open-jaw trips, that start in one port and finish at another. You can score a deal sailing from Florida to Europe, for example, or even from New York to Florida. Just be aware, you'll probably have to pay a bit more for airfare to return.

What are Tips to Finding Last-Minute Cruise Deals?

While being flexible date wise will always get you the best last-minute cruise deals, it's particularly helpful if you live near a cruise port and can quickly drive there. That way you'll probably be able to jump on those deals that might pop up just a week or two before the ship is scheduled to sail.

Or if you don't have flexibility with either departure dates or embarkation locations, be willing to compromise on exact destinations. This will allow you to find a wider range of last-minute deals traveling to locations in their off-season or so-called shoulder season.

Do plenty of research and know what your ideal cruise is and costs on average, so both are already on your radar. When you see it drop, pounce! (Many cruise lines update pricing several times per day, so preparation is crucial.)

Best cruises in 2024

There's truly a cruise style and ship for everyone, and that has never been more the case than in 2024, as vessels continue to come in an array of sizes – from riverboats and expedition vessels to the largest-ever mega ships. And it's not an exaggeration to say some are loaded with so many activities that you couldn't possibly enjoy them all in a single sailing.

Families will find plenty of options and activities onboard big ships, which have transformed cruising, making the vessels as exciting as the destinations themselves. The Caribbean is always a great option for families, offering lots of sunshine, great beaches and culture. Alaska, famous for its incredible vistas and abundant wildlife, is also a solid family cruise option. Consider cruise brands such as Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, MSC Cruises and even Celebrity Cruises and Holland America Line for a great multi-generational voyage.

Or on the smaller side, by comparison, river cruising remains a hot ticket item this year, with exciting routes that send eager guests down the Danube or Rhine rivers in Europe or to lesser-frequented locations, like the Mekong River in Cambodia or Vietnam, or soon the Magdalena River in Colombia. Popular river cruises embark in timeless cities like Amsterdam, Budapest and Lisbon. River cruise lines to consider encompass Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Cruises, Tauck, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Riverside Luxury Cruises, as well as American Cruise Lines for a domestic alternative.

If you're an adventurer at heart, an expedition cruise might be best for you. These voyages, often onboard small ships (only a few hundred passengers tops), offer an intimate experience that brings passengers right up next to glaciers, whales, penguins and iguanas. Ships visit tiny spots all over the world – from pole to pole – including the Arctic, Alaska, Australia, Greenland, the Galapagos and, of course, Antarctica. Passengers will spend their time zodiacing, kayaking, hiking, biking and exploring with expert guides and knowledgeable naturalists. Expedition travelers love cruise lines such as Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic, UnCruise Adventures, Silversea, HX (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions), Ponant and Quark Expeditions, as well as an ever-expanding list that now even extends to Seabourn and Viking.

But for the most decadent form of travel, luxury cruises offer all-inclusive experiences onboard small to median-sized ships (usually under a thousand passengers) with perks like butlers, high-end amenities and personalized, intuitive service, not to mention the finest dining at sea. Ships often feature luxury touches like marble and crystal decor, intimate spaces and beautiful spas. Because luxury ships tend to be on the smaller size, they can often reach off-the-beaten-path destinations bigger ships simply cannot access -- ports like St. Tropez or Guadeloupe. If you're looking for a luxury cruise, consider Crystal, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea, Explora Journeys, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and upcoming Four Seasons Yachts.

Luxury private travel offers an unparalleled experience for a premium.

Luxury private travel allows you to experience and view the world from a different perspective. While still exclusive, it’s becoming easier and more attainable, as several companies offer luxury private travel options. With these services, you can build personalized vacation packages and enjoy curated trips that include charter flights, private transfers and world-class hotels in nearly any country.

What is Luxury Private Travel?

Luxury private travel is leisure tourism at its finest, which consists of hands-on travel benefits for solo, couples and family trips to just about any destination in the world. You can work with an agent to make a customized itinerary or partake in experience packages that may cater to a travel party.

This travel practice usually includes some or all of the following:

● Private jet travel

● Staying at five-star properties or all-inclusive resorts

● Private tours and luxury experiences (i.e., racing, safaris, wilderness expeditions and beach trips)

Booking the perfect trip can be time-consuming and stressful as you attempt to secure jet seats, luxury accommodations, transportation and destination excursions. Instead of doing all the research yourself, many luxury-focused agencies cater to requests for just about any travel style.

Until recently, bespoke travel packages were an exclusive privilege for those with a near-limitless travel budget. However, these innovative experiences are now attainable by many through small group journeys and curated itineraries as Jets100 offers at a fraction of the cost of traditional charter travel or boutique travel agencies.

Afshin Sajedi, the CEO of Jets 100, said his goal is to “pioneer sustainable luxury in high-end travel.” He helped drive Jets 100's global expansion, offering journeys to Formula 1 destinations mentioned above and beyond. From Jet 100's website their focus is on their “commitment to customer-centricity and cutting-edge technology ensures Jets100 remains at the forefront of private aviation, shaping the future of luxury travel with unparalleled sophistication and environmental stewardship.”

Sajedi’s vision of affordable private jet experiences stems from his journey of being born in Iran, overcoming various challenges, and is now a successful entrepreneur based out of the United States. He also shares his passion by writing the chapter, “Beyond First Class: Redefining Luxury Travel in the 21st Century” in Brian Tracy’s book, Winning Strategies for Success .

Examples of Luxury Travel

Travelers wanting to build an ongoing relationship with a particular agency can benefit from working with a solo organization or a dedicated luxury travel agent. Customizable packages vary by agency.

Small Group Journeys

Jets100 specializes in small group journeys on a private jet for example to Ambergris Cay in Turks and Caicos. They offer a variety of trips including Caribbean experiences (such as private islands, and other tropical destinations), sporting experiences (skiing, golfing, tennis opens and other non-F1 sports), Olympics Experiences, and Entertainment Experiences (film festivals, award shows, fashion weeks etc). They can also tailor-make group trips for clients according to their needs and interests.

Ambergris Cay is a unique destination because it has its own private airport with the longest runway in the Caribbean, and can accommodate jets as big as the Gulfstream G500, so they land right on the island, a few feet away from their bungalow or villa at the 5-star resort.

Everything is taken care of on the island as well, all gourmet food and cocktails, activities, boat trips, etc and when the trip is over you can just walk a few feet to the private jet. Completely seamless and convenient.

Jets 100 strives to provide an above-average VIP experience from start to finish with convenient worldwide access to private jet travel, invite-only red carpet events, and exclusive pricing. Monthly and yearly membership packages are available allowing up to eight members and eight partners or guests to travel.

Members can jet from seven departure points (Dubai, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Miami, Monaco, and New York) and choose from over 40 packages. Each itinerary departs from private airports, allows for networking with other luxury travelers, and comes with white glove service.

The on-flight private jet experience includes select wines, champagnes, craft cocktails, and a personalized menu. Each jet can hold parties of at least 13 guests, making it an excellent option for large groups and for achieving luxury travel at a fraction of the standard rates for empty leg or charter flights.

Upon landing, private transfers pre-load your luggage and transport you directly to your accommodations of choice. Each package lists several five-star hotels to stay at offering luxury suites. For additional flexibility, alternative accommodations such as presidential suites and penthouses are available upon request. The concierge can attend to other tailored requests too.

Along with curated itineraries, the customer-centric brand allows travelers to customize trips by proposing a domestic or international destination of choice for the ultimate private travel

experience. Trip organizers help plan an itinerary, book accommodations, and charter aircraft at a reasonable cost.

Other luxury travel agencies also offer small group journeys throughout the world. These are excellent ways to intimately enjoy the marvels of the world that can be challenging as a family trip or too stressful in a traditional travel group, as these outings usually cap out at 20 people.

Popular expeditions include:

● Australia and New Zealand

● Galapagos and Machi Picchu

● Greece and Turkey

● Indochina and Angkor Wat

● Machu Picchu and Peru's Sacred Valley

● Patagonia

● Petra to the Pyramids and a Nile yacht cruise

● Spain and Morocco

● Taj Mahal and India

Depending on the itinerary, it's possible to fly private jets between multiple cities to cover a lot of ground during the destination to hit all the sights.

Luxury Cruises

Instead of booking the finest stateroom on a cruise ship, luxury sea and river voyages and private yachts are an excellent option for land and sea itineraries.

Voyages continually steam in European rivers, the Mediterranean, and Antarctica. For optimal pre- and post-cruise experiences, you can add private shore excursions to the itinerary with the assistance of local guides.

Chartering luxury private yachts through many reputable agencies worldwide is also possible. Destinations with private charters can include:

● Antarctica

● Caribbean

● Indian Ocean

● Middle East

● Northern Europe

● South Pacific

Yacht charters are a superb way to access remote islands, fishing villages, and maritime landmarks that are challenging to visit by land or air. They are also an excellent way to spend time on or in the water while easily partaking in private shore excursions.

Formula 1 Experiences

Jets 100 also specializes in Grand Prix experiences, which include private jet flights and enjoying time on the racetrack while emphasizing sustainability. The destination options depend on the travel time as it depends on where the next race is.

Some of the Grand Prix destinations in 2024 include:

● Sakhir, Bahrain (February 27 to March 5)

● Melbourne, Australia (March 19 to March 30)

● Shanghai, China (April 16 to April 27)

● Miami (May 1 to May 8)

● Monaco (May 22 to May 29)

● Montreal (June 4 to June 15)

● Barcelona (June 19 to June 26)

● Budapest (July 17 to July 24)

● Singapore (September 18 to September 28)

● Mexico City (October 23 to November 1)

● Las Vegas (November 19 to November 30)

● Abu Dhabi (December 5 to December 9)

Three-tier packages are available for each racing experience, including different seating areas and exclusive experiences. For example, the mid-tier and upper-tier packages typically include driver photo opportunities, guided track tours, and paddock access. All track experiences earn F1® Experiences Rewards to enjoy discounted ticket packages and hotel prices for future trips.

Along with year-round F1 experience packages that follow the racing circuit, Jets 100 can make luxury leisure and business travel easier and more affordable. The platform offers a shared flights feature where passengers can propose a destination and other travelers within the Jets 100 network can reserve a seat to split the costs. This customization minimizes travel inconveniences and presents more opportunities to network with business leaders and like- minded travelers.

Luxury Travel Subscriptions

The on-demand subscription model is available for luxury travelers through month-to-month memberships like the Inspirato Pass. This flexible membership provides access to approximately one million itineraries at five-star hotels, resorts, and vacation homes in over 100 destinations.

Unlike the traditional model of paying a monthly agency fee and paying extra for trip reservations, this pass is an all-inclusive option. Therefore, it’s possible to find luxury sweet spots at preferred pricing lower than the public rate.

The Inspirato Pass is currently $2,550 per month, and it can be worth it when your accommodations typically cost this much or more. You can cancel at any time when the membership exceeds your break-even point.

Personalized Vacation Packages

Luxury travel agencies such as Scott Dunn can build a personalized itinerary with the help of a local specialist based on the travel party’s size, age, and interests. You can experience private tours and curated accommodation in over 110 countries.

Since 1986, the agency has been creating journeys for adults, families with children of any age, and multi-generational households. Unlike some luxury travel organizations, it doesn’t require a monthly or annual membership fee plus extra fees for planning trips. Removing these barriers of entry can make this travel strategy substantially less frustrating.

Vacation options can include:

● African safaris

● Asian wildlife expeditions

● Cruise vacations

● Historical Europe

● Luxury beaches and private islands

● Private yachts

● Rail journeys

● Ski hotels

Guests with children between the ages of four months and 11 years may enjoy staying at all- inclusive resorts with exclusive Explorers Kids Clubs. Safe and premier childcare is available at destinations across the French Alps, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean, and United Arab Emirates.

Frequent travelers can work with a relationship manager to schedule various trips throughout the year with the invitation-only Scott Dunn Private program.

Premium Credit Cards

Bespoke packages may only be feasible for some trips. You can still enjoy a taste of luxury travel with a premium credit card that offers travel credits, concierge services, and exclusive access to events.

For many, The Platinum Card® from American Express is one of the most luxurious credit cards. It offers several flight and resort perks, and the Amex concierge can build a travel package. Cardholder benefits, including private jet credits, make these itineraries more enticing.

Also, premium cards usually provide exclusive cardholder experiences when the issuer sponsors a culinary, cultural, entertainment, or sporting event.

One such example is that cardholders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® at Miami Race Week from May 2 to 5, 2025. Sapphire members can purchase VIP grandstand packages, VIP boathouse packages, and access to the trackside Chase Sapphire Lounge.

In addition to seasonal luxury travel packages, premium travel cards offer many ongoing benefits, such as complimentary airport lounge access, elite travel status perks, and trip cancellation or interruption insurance, which can improve the quality of many run-of-the-mill itineraries.

There are plenty of luxury private travel possibilities to choose from whether it's F1 racing, exploring historical landmarks, or exotic getaways. There are many travel dates, and the best packages tend to focus on notable events to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience in addition to being a tourist.

11 signs of 'over-the-top' wealth and luxury I spotted in Arizona's millionaire enclave

Posted: June 8, 2024 | Last updated: June 8, 2024

• Scottsdale and Paradise Valley make up Arizona's wealth enclave, where homes cost up to $75 million.
• The area has been known for its luxury market for decades, and millionaires continue to move there.
• I visited both Phoenix suburbs and saw signs of extreme luxury, from lavish hotels to mega-mansions.

Millionaires are flocking to side-by-side suburbs on the outskirts of Phoenix in a picturesque desert surrounded by mountains.

Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have been known for their luxury markets for as long as real-estate agent Shawn Shackelton can remember. She's been selling homes in both towns since 2001.

Scottsdale now has nearly 15,000 millionaire residents, AZ Central reported earlier this year. According to and USA Wealth Report by Henley & Partners , it's one of the fastest-growing US cities in terms of affluence.

Paradise Valley, an area between Scottsdale and Phoenix, is also known as the " Beverley Hills of Arizona ," the state's richest municipality.

Shackelton told BI that most of her clients are C-suite executives , tech entrepreneurs, medical doctors, or young retirees .

I recently visited the two wealthy suburbs and learned that the luxury lifestyle goes beyond desert mountain views. Extrtavegant properties, upscale amenities, and lavish details may make residents and travelers alike feel wrapped in riches.

I spotted 11 signs of over-the-top luxury during a 48-hour whirlwind trip to the millionaire desert oasis.

I spotted the first sign of luxury while booking hotel stays. The wealthy enclave has some of the best resorts in Arizona.

People often travel to Arizona for luxurious vacations. Many resorts are centered on wellness, from world-class spas to mountainous hikes and upscale golf clubs, Condé Nast Traveler reported in 2023 . 

According to Scottsdale's Tourism and Events department , tourists spent $3.2 billion on travel in 2022.

While scanning the internet for top-tier accommodations for my trip, I found that two of the best resorts in the state are in Arizona's wealth enclave — the Phoenician in Scottsdale and the Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley .

The former was dubbed "Arizona's Leading Resort," according to the 2023 World Travel Awards, and Forbes Travel Guide has given the hotel its Four-Star Award for 22 years running, according to the hotel's website .

Meanwhile, the latter is the "best hotel in Arizona," according to Travel + Leisure 's 2023 "World's Best Awards," a ranking based on reader surveys.

I spent one night in each and experienced different VIP lifestyles in the desert oasis. 

At the Hermosa Inn, I was in awe of the extravagant landscaping.

The Hermosa Inn is a historic place where luxury and the Wild West collide. The main building is roughly 80 years old, and the rooms — all stand-alone — were built in the same traditional Mexican and Spanish architectural style, according to the company's website .

The property was just six acres, but my accommodation was larger than any hotel room I've ever stayed in. It felt more like an Airbnb — but with guest services.

Inside, I had a king-sized bed that made me feel like royalty. It had tall, wooden posts that nearly touched the ceiling with wooden beams and a skylight.

But I thought the most luxurious part of the Hermosa Inn was the sprawling, vibrant garden lining the pathways from the lobby to each casita.

Cacti, succulents, palm trees, and colorful flower beds next to stone fountains were planted on pebble islands perfectly curved in the middle of trimmed, rich green grass.

It looked like a scene from a fairytale.

The Phoenician was an exclusive mega-resort with top-tier amenities, including a five-star spa and a golf club surrounded by mountain views.

My stay at the Phoenician screamed luxury from the start.

As my cab entered the 600-acre property's winding road, I spotted giant fountains, sculptures, and an 18-hole golf course. I had to confirm my reservation with a security guard before we got to the main building, which made the resort feel exclusive.

In addition to the 645 rooms, the mega-resort had every amenity to make tourists feel like VIPs, from a five-star spa to luxury car rentals.

The luxury Marriott Hotel also had five pools — one for adults only — and an athletic club with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.

There were so many high-end activities and experiences that I thought affluent tourists could spend an entire vacation just at the resort and have a lavish time.

Both had award-winning restaurants on site.

The Phoenician has eight bars and restaurants. Three of them, J&G Steakhouse, Mowry & Cotton, and the lobby bar Thirsty Camel, have won multiple awards from sources like Open Table, Forbes Travel Guide, and Trip Advisor, according to the hotel's website .

Meanwhile, the Hermosa Inn has just one restaurant and bar, LON's. Food & Wine Magazine named it 2022's most romantic restaurant in Arizona. It has also made Open Table's list of the best brunch menus in the US for four years.

From the Phoenician, I spotted Paradise Valley's mountain-side estates.

From the edge of the hotel's golf course, I spotted multimillion-dollar estates situated on Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley.

BI previously reported that Arizona's wealthiest residents live in Paradise Valley, from celebrities to billionaires. The median home listing price is $5.5 million, according to Realtor.com . The most expensive home on the market is also the highest-priced in the state — listed at $75 million .

Shackelton says Paradise Valley is more expensive than Scottsdale due to property size and location.

"Paradise Valley's closer to Phoenix, and the lot sizes are bigger," she told BI. "Some people that live in that area need to be close to the Biltmore in Phoenix, which is considered the financial district here."

Business travelers move to Paradise Valley for easy access to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which is just 20 minutes away, she added. Others move there for privacy.

"When you get up into the higher price points, many of the houses in Paradise Valley are individually gated," Shackeltoon said. "Some like the feeling of being their own private estate."

There were more mega-mansions in North Scottsdale. Some looked like castles.

The most expensive neighborhood in Scottsdale is DC Ranch. And I got an exclusive tour of the 4,400-acre community that has an average listing price of $3.5 million, according to Realtor.com .

It felt like a private small town with four villages, including Silverleaf , the most exclusive in the neighborhood where the priciest listing in Scottsdale is located — a $54 million estate.

In Silverleaf, I spotted some of the swankiest homes I've ever seen, with estates comprised of multiple buildings, extravagant gardens, and private, walled driveways. They reminded me of European castles.

Senior communications manager Elizabeth Dankert, who gave me the tour, said many of these mansions are custom homes.

Here, streets were gated with 24-hour guards.

In all four villages, many of the streets were gated. And according to the DC Ranch website , they have 24-hour guards.

Many other North Scottsdale neighborhoods have the same high level of privacy and security, including Desert Mountain and WR Estates .

The same neighborhood had fancy street signs.

While driving through each village, I noticed that the style of the street signs varied. Dankert said that each village boasts a unique look for its signage.

Unsurprisingly, the signage in the most expensive village looked fancier than the others, with metal swirls and a serif font.

Residential amenities were similar to what you'd at a luxury hotel.

DC Ranch has three clubs with high-end amenities that reminded me of my stay at the Phoenician.

DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa has a gym, group fitness classes, multiple pools, a day spa with a salon, and massage and facial services.

The other two are private golf clubs — the Country Club and the Silverleaf Club. In addition to 18-hole courses surrounded by mountains and desert terrain, these communities have tennis, pools, fitness centers, and restaurants, according to the neighborhood's website .

The Silverleaf Club, home to a championship golf course, also has a world-class spa.

I got an inside look at the Country Club and spotted a sign that said "dress code enforced" — a golf club tradition phased out in many areas to appeal to millennials on a budget .

But the tradition remains in several Scottsdale golf clubs. At the Country Club, adults and children aren't allowed to wear t-shirts, short shorts or skirts, athletic wear, or tank tops (unless they're tailored and specifically designed for tennis or golf), according to the club's website .

I spotted members in collared shirts, golf shorts, and tennis skirts during my visit.

From the top of the most expensive neighborhood in Scottsdale, I spotted one of the most popular airports in the US where the ultra-wealthy park their private jets.

I had a view of the city at the top of DC Ranch in Silverleaf.

Dankert pointed out that the large tarmac in the distance was Scottsdale Airport, one of the most popular places in the US for the ultrawealthy to park their private jets .

Shackelton said many of her clients move to DC Ranch to be close to their personal aircraft, which is only 20 minutes away.

While sampling Scottsdale's fine dining scene, I went to a steakhouse with a pool purely for ambiance.

I wanted to see how the wealthy dine in Scottsdale, so I went to Dominick's, a world-class steakhouse with a wide variety of menu items, from dry-aged steaks to fresh seafood flown in from around the world daily, according to the restaurant's website .

When I made a reservation, I selected the rooftop dining room. It epitomized luxury. Tables with white cloths and cushy leather chairs lined the edges of a pool with a retractable glass roof above. The pool was a dramatic centerpiece I'd never seen in a restaurant.

Owner Jeff Mastro told BI that the pool is not for swimming — it's only decorative.

"It was built as an amenity to the dining experience, something special that you don't see every day," he said. "This is the most requested dining room at Dominick's."

I thought it looked big enough to swim from my seat, but Mastro said it was only 12 inches deep.

"The pool was designed for a beautiful aesthetic and the allure of poolside dining," he added.

As a solo traveler , I typically dine alone with a book to pass the time between courses. But at Dominnick's, I was amazed by the room itself. It certainly made the upscale restaurant feel like a unique dining experience.

In just 48 hours, I got a taste of the lavish desert lifestyle outside of Phoenix.

From private, stylized neighborhoods to renowned hotels and private jet parking, it was easy for me to see why the ultra-wealthy live and vacation here.
