You’ve worked hard, and it’s time to reward yourself with a luxury holiday to be pampered and indulged in the manner to which you prefer to become accustomed. The possibilities for a luxury holiday are endless and these days can be enjoyed just about anywhere in the world.

 

Luxury holidays take many forms, from indulgent pampering in a tropical spa, lazy resort life in an exotic remote destination, living the high life in a sumptuous international hotel, or watching the world slip by from the balcony of your cruise liner suite. Talk to your Travel Counsellor about the best type of luxury holiday to suit your taste.

 

Luxury Resort Holidays

For a truly luxurious holiday think about some resort “essentials”; your personal plunge pool (preferably an infinity model) overlooking your private beach on an exclusive island, sipping chilled champagne served by your personal butler. Some local names to consider are Hayman, Lizard, Bedarra while overseas think about Aman, Evason, Six Senses and LHW.

 

Luxury Spa Holidays

For the ultimate in luxe, get into a spa resort, the more exotic and over the top the better. These days spas are the reason for the resort, not an added feature, and you will leave relaxed and toned, probably with a much slimmer wallet. In Australia consider Hepburn Springs, Hunter Valley or Palm Cove; while overseas the Maldives, Mauritius and Thailand are hot destinations.

 

Luxury Cruise Holidays

Increasingly popular luxury cruises are another great way to unwind and live the luxe life. Grab your chance to explore remote ports-of-call while cosseted in the incomparable luxury of your stateroom. Five star luxury at every turn, gourmet dining and world-class entertainment come bundled on your luxury cruise.

India – Kashmir Kashmir – what a contrast to Rajasthan I had just come from. Divided by India and Pakistan it is predominantly Muslim and has been the unfortunate victim of many conflicts between the two countries as to where the border actually runs. This is such a shame as it’s a state full of natural beauty in particular. Being on the edge of the Himalayas it’s excellent for trekking but being at a higher altitude also means a cooler retreat from the heat of the plains below. The British used to get away from the heat and bustle of New Delhi to spend summers here. This is when the famous houseboats were established. It’s said that the Maharajah would not allow the British to buy land so they built the houseboats and stationed them on the huge Lake Dal at Srinagar the capital. We used it as a base for many weeks as we explored the rest of the state. I arrived in the off season with my friend Linda and we were amazed at the elaborate and exquisitely ornate carved cedar wood... view full story
