Choosing a luxurious travel destination can be difficult. With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to spend all of your time looking at destinations rather than planning an itinerary for your next trip away.

To make your life that little bit easier, we’ve done the research and put together a list of the best travel destinations for the luxury traveler.

What is a luxury holiday?

A luxury holiday is enjoying the best services on offer. Typically, this includes private or first-class flights and transport, luxury accommodations, such as a Villa, fine dining, and in some instances, a custom-made itinerary and personal tour guide.

The most luxurious travel destinations in 2025

So, what are the best luxury travel places? We’ve gathered together seven top destinations for you to visit this year.

Dubai

Let’s start with Dubai. In recent years, Dubai has become more and more popular.

With its bustling economy, incredible architecture, huge skyscrapers, and luxury shopping malls, Dubai welcomes tourists from all over the world. There are also incredible beaches, upscale hotels and restaurants, and the calm and tranquil Arabian Desert.

The Seychelles

An archipelago of 115 islands off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean, The Seychelles is home to beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and nature reserves.

It’s a luxury destination like no other and the perfect location to escape busy City life. The Seychelles is home to rare animals, including the fascinating Aldabra tortoises, which are found all over the island.

There are plenty of luxury activities, albeit fewer shops and more fine dining and relaxing.

Barbados

Found in the Eastern Caribbean, this island is a cruise ship port. As well as the many boats you’ll see in passing, there are beautiful beaches, botanical gardens, and 17th-century plantations to enjoy.

The white sand beaches can be enjoyed with luxury resorts, with blue skies and an even lighter shade of blue of the ocean that stretches as far as the eyes can see.

Costa Rica

Found in Central America, Costa Rica is home to serene waterfalls, beautiful beaches, volcanos, and breathtaking wildlife.

The weather is hot, the scenery is stunning, the spaces are protected, and you can explore the many jungles, volcanoes, rivers, and vibrant cities. There really is something for everyone in Costa Rica, whether you prefer island life or high-end shopping.

Switzerland

If you prefer mountains over beaches, Switzerland might be the perfect option for you.

Switzerland is home to numerous famous landmarks, including the Swiss Alps, the highest mountain range in Europe. One notable mountain includes the Matterhorn, standing at an impressive 14,690 feet.

For the most luxurious experience, we recommend a visit to St. Moritz and Zermatt. You can take the Glacier Express—which travels through the Alps—to take in the breathtaking scenery enjoyed in excellence class. That’s an upgrade from first class that includes panoramic views and fine dining.

The Maldives

Another Island escape, the Maldives, found in South Asia, is a small island found in the Indian Ocean.

For the luxury traveler, there’s plenty on offer, from underwater dining (yes, you read that correctly), to thrill seeking activities such as sky diving.

There are beautiful golden sand beaches, a serene view of the Indian Ocean, and plenty of luxury villas to stay at. Whatever your preferences, there’s something for everyone in the Maldives.

Lake Como, Italy

Found in the foothills of the Alps, Lake Como is beautiful. It’s no surprise that so many people escape to the coast, enjoying the very best of Italian life on the coast.

There are countless luxurious hotels looking over the Lake and plenty of Villas, too. The villages are charming, the blue shoreline is a sight to behold, and the cuisine needs no justification. Let’s just say the Italians know how to cook.
