Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Mention luxury holidays, and the first image that comes to mind is that epitome of refinement: a hotel which has mastered elegance and comfort to perfection. But this ideal can take various forms. It could be a legendary palace on the banks of the Nile, a Rajasthani palace - one thousand and one nights style - or a sixteenth century palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice. Ancient history meets deluxe design. Or your dream resort might be a celebrity architect’s final fling, the ultimate in high-tech minimalism floating above Tokyo, or Brooklyn. It might simply be a perfect villa, with private pool and butler, hidden away in the luxuriant Seychelles or on a secret island in Indonesia.
Although a perfect hotel is an essential part of any luxury holiday, we wouldn’t limit our idea of luxury to a hotel, however magnificent. At The original travel, our idea of luxury is as much about substance as style. So our vision for exclusive accommodation extends to a night under the stars in the middle of the desert - or out in the savannah. A charming bivouac with unparalleled views, suspended high above Big Sur. Or an exclusive lodge, reached only by private plane. It’s about letting your imagination roam, guided by your desires, whether that leads you to discover a Caribbean island spa, a retreat with view in the Himalayas, or an unexpected - but carefully considered - marriage between Japan and Polynesia. And the epitome of luxury, as always, lies in uniqueness and total discretion.
