subject: Family Luxury Vacation [print this page] When you go on a luxurious vacation, be prepared to shell out premium price. Here is how you can go about planning for your trip.
First, be clear about why you are traveling. Are you going there for business? Or do you want to go sight seeing? Remember, different strokes for different people. Spare a thought for your travel companions, and think about what they want. Always communicate with your travel companions to avoid misunderstandings. Come to a common understanding early.
Everything else becomes easier to plan for when you are clear about what you want. For example, if you are traveling to relax, focus more on that. Who will you be traveling with? Make a list of the equipment that you will need. How many days do you intend to spend golfing? It is sometimes good to have variety.
Variety actually helps to keep your entertained throughout the entire trip. For example, on top of golfing, you can also plan for a leisure day at the beach, or a massage at the SPA. When one enjoyable moment follows another, there is nothing that could possibly spoil your mood!
In sum, make sure that your plan works in your favor. Don't set yourself up for more stress. Distractions are abundant, so you must be careful not to let them spoil your vacation. Just focus on enjoying the trip. Having some peaceful moments to yourself is rare and precious. Your travel plan will help you achieve that.
Once you have made up your mind to go on a luxury vacation, you will now have to pick a destination. Destinations differ in terms of facilities, scenery, and price. But there will be a place that will appeal to your own personal preferences.
When we talk about luxury vacations, we are referring to villas. We are not talking about resorts here. Villas are private dwellings with their very own facilities. They are highly exclusive and very peaceful. Of course, given such exclusivity, they cost a lot more. But in return, you get more space.
The most expensive destinations are those from developed countries. This is because real estate prices are high in such countries. Therefore, you can expect the prices of such villas to be two or three times more than villas in other destinations.
If price is a concern, then perhaps villas in the eastern part of the world such as Indonesia or the Philippines. You can expect prices to be very reasonable.
On top of that, you will also see sights that are more exotic and unusual. For instance, the people in Asian villas dress in traditional costumes that you may have never seen before. Luxury villas in destinations such as Bali are renowned for their exotic feel. Even the surroundings may be a breath of fresh air. For ultimate luxury, try staying in a super large 5 room villa!
So who says you have to spend a fortune to enjoy luxury holidays? Just spend a little more time looking around. If Asian destinations don't suit you, try Australia or New Zealand.
