For many of us, traveling is, among all else, a way to escape the routine. To shake off those duties, chores, stresses. And from that standpoint, it’s fair enough that we want each trip to feel exclusive and posh. We want it to have all the attributes of a luxurious experience. But what are those attributes?
#1 Luxury Car
So you hop off the plane and slide into a sleek, shiny car waiting just for you. That’s what starting your trip on the right note is like. The beauty of luxury car rental is that it turns traveling (the mere process of getting from A to B) into a treat.
You don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune on it. A few tips that shall help you to save a bit:
- book your luxury ride early ( more chances to get the best deals)
- pick it up from a central location
- always go for that unlimited mileage option.
#2 Posh Outfit
It may sound trivial but it’s true—when you look good, you feel good. Posh isn’t equal to expensive here. It’s just the type of clothes or accessories that make you feel special.
A smart trick, in this regard, is to choose outfits that can easily transition from day to night (perhaps, with just a change of accessories). Stick to a color palette so everything goes together. Try to find pieces that are both comfy and stylish (velvet and corduroy are perfect materials for that).
One variant of how such a packing list may look is this:
- a versatile corduroy jacket
- a pair of knockout sunglasses
- comfortable suede shoes that can handle long walks but still look chic.
#3 Delightful Cuisine
Food matters a lot during travels. There’s nothing like savoring a dish that’s both a visual treat and a festival of flavors, especially when it’s served in a stunning setting. Luxury dining isn’t just about eating, by the way. Rather, it’s about experiencing food that’s prepared with passion and artistry.
Don’t just stick to the hotel dining (however posh it may be). Venture out. Book a table at renowned restaurants or arrange an exclusive chef’s table experience where you can watch culinary masters at work. Don’t ignore street food, either. You may taste some of the most delightful dishes there.
#4 Enriching Activities
Luxury is primarily associated with what we see and feel. But there are activities, too. Some ideas may include
- private guided tours of hidden gems
- helicopter rides over stunning landscapes
- after-hours access to museums and galleries.
These are the kinds of activities that elevate any trip from typical to extraordinary. However, you don’t necessarily need to choose costly things like that. Think of what enriches YOU personally. It may be an activity that requires no expenses at all but it’s still a luxury because you never afford to indulge in it during the work week.
#5 Good Company
Let’s be honest, cars, food, and clothes do matter but people matter most. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, or family, experiences that you share with someone you love are particularly precious.
The thing is that good company turns experiences into memories. It’s about sharing laughs over a glass of wine, exchanging stories on a scenic drive, and making plans for yet another journey together.
Wrapping up, luxury is often associated with the price. They often tell you that you need to pay more to get those “exclusive,” “VIP,” “custom,” etc. things. Sometimes, it’s, indeed, like that. Othertimes though, you don’t need to pay anything at all to make your travel feel a bit fancier.
