Life can be busy and stressful at times so it is important to take a step back, relax and unwind! Our favourite way to do that is by taking holidays and splurging on a little bit of luxury! People who take regular holidays have overall lower stress levels and are happier! We love our fair share of luxury when travelling, with beautiful hotels, pools with views, exquisite food and top knotch service.
Here are five luxury holiday destinations that are worth splurging on!
Greece
Greece has some of the world’s most luxurious hotels and resorts on some of the most beautiful islands. The hardest decision will be choosing where to go! Santorini boasts some of the most remarkable sunsets in the world, and watching them from an infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean Sea is like nothing else. Stay in a villa, or a resort, and enjoy the idyllic scenery, plus some of the best food the Mediterranean has to offer.
Spain
Holidays in Mallorca can be both budget-friendly and luxurious, but if you’re going to treat yourself, you will want to do it right. Spend your time away surrounded by azure waters, white and golden beaches, limestone cliffs and mountains, lush vegetation, and exotic decor and architecture. Luxury hotels are built into the cliffsides and offer guests spectacular views of the mountains and the Balearic Sea. Indulge in a spa day and other activities like sailing, scuba diving, or just simply relax by the beach and enjoying the sunshine!
Bora Bora
Known as one of the most beautiful islands in the world, this French Polynesia island is on the top of a lot of travel wish lists for a reason! Bora Bora is isolated in the South Pacific, complete with crystal clear turquoise waters, white beaches, and lush vegetation growing all over the dormant volcano that sits in the middle of the island. Guests at the resorts can opt to stay in magical overwater bungalows, which are a luxury experience like no other.
The island’s isolation does make it a bit tricky to get to, however it is probably going to be one of the most exciting journeys to a holiday destination you will take in your life. The view from the air are stunning and give you an insight into just how beautiful this island paradise truly is.

Dubai is well-known around the world as one of the most opulent cities to visit.
