Six Unmissable Luxury Travel Posts

When travel is limited and work is hard, or perhaps the 60 litre backpack and overnight buses have just lost the rugged appeal they once had, then we naturally start to find more appreciation for the finer things in life. We start looking for thick, white duvets, heated swimming pools, champagne breakfast in the middle of the air and above all – relaxation!

 Last month, Two Monkeys Travel hunted through hundreds of different blogs and chose these 6 awesome luxury travel experiences you should try on your next journey..

Best Cruises Around the World

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when talking about luxury travel? – Cruising! Being greeted with bubbly champagne right when you step on board the cruise ship is the huge sign that this trip is nothing but luxury relaxation. Providing everything you need while on the cruise, all you have to do is lie back and enjoy every moment of your trip. Good thing that Two Monkeys Travel already compiled a list of the best cruise shows from all the corners of the world.

Castle Stay Experience in Europe

I’m a big fan of castles and monarchy histories and yes I would love to stay in one of the castles I could only read in books as a child. Who wouldn’t want to experience staying in a castle even if only for a day? Stop frowning, this experience is not beyond your reach, thanks to Melanie of Rover at Home and her great article about 8 places where you can rent a castle for less than the cost of a hotel! Take your partner for a romantic moment in these fairy tale accommodations, all over Europe.

Luxury Holiday in Los Angeles

Growing up in Asia, I always wanted to see what’s on the other side of the world; the west of the world. Throughout my school days, I always had my head in geography books to try to experience it, but it wasn’t enough. Thanks to the internet today, I can learn so much more about the differences between other cultures and my own, which only boosted my curiosity more. When I finally visit Los Angeles, I’m going to make sure it’s in full blown luxury. With the wealth of knowledge and honest opinions from Travels of Adam, I’m sure I’ll have no problems finding ways to spoil myself in LA, because I deserve it.

Horse Back Riding in Nevada

Horseback riding doesn’t have to be a simple, rural, dusty experience, this activity can be taken to the next level – with luxury. Yes it’s possible, because luxury travel doesn’t always have to be about sleeping in an en suite hotel room, a massive Jacuzzi or drinking expensive wine all week.  Inside the Travel Lab discussed another way to have a luxury trip by trying these awesome things you can do riding wild horses in Nevada. Options are attractive, with a stay in luxuriously simple accommodation, warming campfires, wild horse conservation activities, simulating battle grounds and more!

Luxurious South Africa Honeymoon

Is Hawaii too normal for you? Or is Bali too crowded? Freshen up your destination list by spending your romantic honeymoon in South Africa. Add some spice to the typical honeymoon of white, sandy beaches and cool, blue water. How about beautiful beaches in the morning and wild animals in the afternoon? Sounds amazing right? Victoria of Bridge and Balloons shared their extravagant romantic experience in South Africa and Mauritius. Your honeymoon won’t just be about wines and sunbathing, because this luxury experience will give more than a laid back holiday but also a full package of thrilling activities.

A Luxury Greek Holiday

The white hillside villas, mind blowing ruins and crystal clear beaches; Greece is the perfect place for a luxury trip in Europe. The Boho Chica just recently spent a luxury trip in Greece.  Waking up in a gorgeous white painted suite room is undeniably a great start to your day. Tasting mouth-watering Greek cuisine, having a chat while overlooking the beautiful beach of Mykonos and enjoying a glass of champagne whilst sitting beside the pool in the afternoon is definitely a touch of luxury. What else could you ask for?
