Travel Bucket List Ideas
YACHTING IN THE MED
A Mediterranean yacht charter might be for you if you’d prefer to have your own captain and crew rather than sharing staff (and amenities) on a huge vessel. Traveling through Europe by boat is one of the greatest ways to see the continent – and probably already at the top of your luxury bucket list.
These opulent floating hotels provide five-star service together with breathtaking scenery. Set up shop for a gourmet picnic amidst a crumbling stronghold, go for a swim after dropping anchor along picturesque coastlines, or simply unwind on your sundeck with a beverage in hand. While every yacht is different, the majority have dining rooms, hot tubs, gyms, and lavish master suites. The abundance of choices for splashing around in the Mediterranean, including huge waterslides, jet skis, and overwater trampolines, will delight water sports fans.
The greatest time to travel to the Mediterranean is in September, when crowds thin out, kids return to school, but the weather is still mild. Mediterranean boat cruises are typically available from April through October (sometimes hot, depending on where you are).
RENT A PRIVATE ISLAND
Next up on the best luxury bucket list ideas – A private island is the height of luxury and is the ideal choice for anyone seeking the utmost in discretion, seclusion, and elegance. Options abound, ranging from opulent and expansive mansions in warm regions to thatched-roof cottages nestled amid the trees in Canada’s Pacific Northwest.
The Caribbean, where the renowned Necker Island is located, is one of the best locations for renting private islands (owned by Virgin founder and business mogul Richard Branson). This 74-acre paradise in the British Virgin Islands has space for up to 54 people in comfort. Visitors can choose to rent a room, a villa, or the entire island thanks to the numerous properties that are dispersed throughout the island.
Musha Cay, which is situated in the southern Bahamas Exuma Chain and is another Caribbean island that is for rent. For the duration of their stay, guests receive exclusive access to Musha Cay and its multitude of amenities, which is available for one group at a time. Visitors to Musha Cay are treated like royalty with over 150 acres of powder-soft beaches, a fleet of outdoor water toys, and opulent lodgings. Vacationers won’t lack anything with 30 staff members to a maximum of 24 guests.
A COZY WINTER VILLA
Imagine cozying up in front of a fire, wrapping up in a blanket as snow falls outside in silence, or getting toasty in an outdoor jacuzzi while receiving a flute of champagne. When renting a mountain villa or a deluxe chalet, these are included.
Despite the fact that not all come with a complete crew, it’s simple to add a chef, butler, daily housekeeper, or even a yoga instructor!
If you enjoy skiing or snowboarding, choosing to stay in a villa in Whistler, British Columbia, is a simple choice. The Belmont Estate in Whistler’s upscale Stonebridge neighborhood is situated on 7 acres of forest and can house up to 14 people. If you choose to stay on groomed slopes, the helipad offers a discrete arrival and departure as well as access to off-piste terrain, and your private driver is available to transport you to the lifts each day. We’re sure this is the perfect unexpected addition to your luxury bucket list.
AN ALASKAN WILDERNESS LODGE
Have you always wanted to travel in elegance through the Last Frontier? There are a select few Alaskan wilderness resorts that offer opulent luxury amid untamed Alaskan environs, and no two are alike. The pinnacle of resorts, Sheldon Chalet, offers fly-in-only access, breathtaking vistas, and fine dining. This is the height of luxury (or distance)!
In the stunning Ruth Glacier in Denali’s Don Sheldon Amphitheater, Sheldon Chalet is a five-star lodge perched on a nunatak. You can go sledding, rappelling, exploring crevasses, or exploring snow caverns during the days you spend at the chalet. The nights bring about spectacular light displays as you relax in your sauna or observation deck and watch the Aurora Borealis dance across the sky. Sheldon Chalet offers excellent dining, complete with a renowned chef who has been chosen to prepare meals for people like Barak Obama and Neil Young.
AN AFRICAN SAFARI
It might seem tough to select just one because there are so many luxurious lodges and safari excursions available throughout Africa! Travel deep into Kenya to stay at one of the best lodges in all of Africa if you have to choose just one, though.
Angama Mara, which has views of the Great Rift Valley, is tucked away on the border of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. This family-owned safari lodge features two small, exclusive camps with only fifteen sumptuous tented rooms each, a personal airstrip, and a variety of wildlife wandering freely. It is impossible to deny the romance of this resort and region, which graced the silver screen as the setting for the Oscar-winning film Out of Africa. The lodge is complemented by the Angama Safari Camp, a mobile tented campsite with exclusive use that is tucked away in the Mara triangle where you can see lion, cheetah, and leopard prides as well as large elephant herds, buffalo, and large elephant herds. This location also puts you in the perfect place to watch the annual migration.
