The Maldives. Lake Como. Dubai. The sparkling French Riviera. These destinations are the gold standard for luxury, the blueprint of high-end travel. But part of luxuryb travel is the allure of discovery, the access to places with untouched beauty. It’s time to make room for the new hidden gems.
This is your guide to emerging hotspots and places that give luxury travel a new meaning.
1. Sint Maarten and Saint-Martin
The soul of an island. The heart of a charming European village. An island where French opulence radiates in the north and Dutch warmth runs the south, blending Caribbean beauty with European culture. Charter a private yacht and discover hidden coves and remote beaches. Stay on land at one of the island’s many lavish resorts, with waterfront suites, spa treatments, fine dining and exclusive access to island excursions. Here, luxury has no limits.
2. Croatia
Croatia has refined adventure. From a wine country with over millennium of history to private sunset speedboats across the Zadar shoreline to ancient cities like Dalmatia, Split and Trogir— this country’s historic interior brims with Michelin-star experiences that bleed into a glamorous turquoise coastline. Explore sun-drenched islands like Hvar, Korčula, and Brač, where exclusive beach clubs and five-star seaside villas await. Dine at waterfront restaurants serving fresh-caught seafood and local wines as the last rays of light glint across yachts and fishing boats in the harbor.
3. Iceland
All eyes have turned to this Nordic Island for its striking scenery and dramatic landscapes. Where else can you witness expansive glaciers, shimmering Northern Lights, volcanic mountains and valleys and geothermal springs? There is no prime time; every season welcomes bespoke experiences, from helicopter skiing tours over untouched snowfields to premier spa sanctuaries and summer whale watching tours.
4. Bodrum, Turkey
A city that whispers to the ancient world, where eons of history live along the Aegean Sea. Chic beach clubs and fine dining restaurants dot Bodrum’s coastline. Yachts bob in the city’s twin bays. Sea salt plays in the wind, and opulent hotels spill across Turkey’s sun-soaked Riviera. Explore the ruins of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Or travel into the lush hills for a wine tasting at Karnas Vineyards.
5. Cape Town, South Africa
Only in Cape Town can you take a helicopter tour over the Cape Peninsula’s majestic mountains, stay in a luxurious treehouse on private safaris or spend a day in the sprawling wine estates just outside the city. I’ve known many who have traveled the world yet yearn to return here. It’s the grandeur of many cities blended into one, the variety of a major port city. African adventure and beauty. Why choose between sparkling beaches or rolling mountains, opulent hotels or natural escapes? Why not experience it all?
6. Bangkok, Thailand
Thailand is having a moment. From world-class hotels, Michelin dining, high-end shopping and premier wellness retreats, the country’s capital is a hub for opulence. Golden temples shine alongside sleek skyscrapers. Vibrant markets bustle underneath sky-high rooftop bars. Bangkok is a city of discovery, where Thai hospitality greets you with a welcoming embrace.
