Ridiculously Luxurious Travel Packages

Yes, no man is an island forever. Every so often, however, life can be pretty overwhelming. In such instances, the idea of locking ourselves in our room and binge watching the latest Netflix hype can become super appealing. Even better, is when we think up the fantasy of living on an island completely isolated from humanity, reading a good book over a great cocktail under the 11am sun… What if that were actually possible? Here’re the top resorts offering the most private, one-on-oe that are way too expensive to buy. But looking at pictures of them is 100% FREE.

Horseback Riding With Jodie Kidd, Botswana

Cost: USD 13,850 per person

When: 25 September — 1 October 2018 (6 nights)

Book: Call +27 21 483-1600 or email safaris@belmond.com

Ever wanted to explore the South African safari of Botswana other than being trapped with seven other tourists in a jeep? Why not try exploring the region on horseback then, courtesy of Belmond. And, who better to horseback ride with than British Equestrian Polo Player and International Fashion Model, Jodie Kidd!

Riding with such an accomplished pro like Kidd might sound intimidating, but don’t be too overwhelmed yet; besides riding with the legend, you can also continue to experience the lush wildlife of Botswana in a helicopter tour, while you kick back and feast on the magical landscape from a bird’s eye view. Highlights of the tour include travelling to spaces like the Belmond Eagle Island Lodge and Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge, which, self explanatorily, takes you to visit native species. For a seven-day-six-nights package, all food, drinks, accommodation, internal flights and safari activities will be covered.

Private Jet Experience, Oman and UAE

Cost: SGD55,440 with a minimum of four people

There will be no screaming kids or sitting next to awkward strangers because Anantara Resorts and Lightfoot Travel have teamed up for an exclusive expedition through Oman, where you’ll get to stay at three Anantara locations as you zip from Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Dessert, through the sandy dunes of Salalah and end up at Green Mountain, a paradise of greenery quite literally above the world. Stay at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort, Al Baleed Resort Salalah and Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, spaces made for princes. Travel with your group of friends in two Pilatus PC-12NG airplanes with a refined BMW and be pampered silly.

Travel There By: 2.5 hour drive from Muscat International Airport

Laulaca Island, Fiji

Cost: USD850,000 for 5-night group stay

Fiji is that brand of water we can always find tucked away in the refrigerator at a 7-Eleven store; not because it’s not good, but because it’s just so goddamn expensive. So just imagine luxuriating in a 40,000 sqaure foot pool of actual Fiji water on Laucala Island, the picture-perfect reality of turquiose waves and healthy green palm trees. Maybe there’re seagulls yapping in the background too. For the full package, rent out THE ENTIRE POOL AND ISLAND designed like an actual stream with multiple water bodies, making it both an architectural genius and visual magpie, great for pool parties or intimate gatherings with friends.

Travel There By: You can charter a private jet to Laucala Island.

Villa Rahasia, Nihi Sumba

Cost: 2,295 for 1 night

Thinking of a honeymoon only you and your partner deserve?
