Wellness, working holidays and off-grid wilderness. What are the most significant trends in luxury travel this year?
Luxury as a term has so many interpretations — especially when it comes to travel. Holidays are about more than spending time somewhere that looks nice on a postcard. We don’t merely want flashy places to show off in — our appetite is growing for taking trips that are a force for good through meaningful, transformational, socially and environmentally responsible experiences, and in terms of our time away boosting our health. Also, our nomadic lifestyles mean we want flexible forays where we can work, rest and play.
WORKATIONS RULE
All hail ‘workations’ for letting us mix business with pleasure. Why sit in light-starved offices when our laptops work just as well under coconut palms where we can feel the sea breeze on our faces and sand under our toes? Digital nomads on extended trips are plotting up and plugging in at exotic co-working spaces the world over.
