With the January blues in full swing, one of the best ways to combat them is to consider all the things that you have to look forward to in the coming year.

For many of us, this may include booking a holiday to escape reality for a week or two!

If you are planning a luxury break this year, here are a few things to consider.

Transport

For a truly luxurious vacation, you should consider renting a private jet to get you to your destination in style.

Flying privately is the epitome of luxury and removes the stress and waiting around that comes with commercial travel, which can sometimes end up ruining your trip.

Private jets allow you to travel in comfort and experience fine dining with specially curated menus and wine tasting, rather than offending your tastebuds with the microwaved meals that you will find on commercial flights!

You will also be able to travel with your furry friends nearby, so if you are heading away with your pets, private travel is a perfect way to do this. 

Destination

Now that the world has opened up again, there are many places to explore regardless of your holiday goal.

For those who want a laid-back sunny trip, you may want to head to the Caribbean, which has many islands to choose from. In Barbados, you will find some of the world's most luxurious hotels, while in St. Barts, you can treat yourself to a more secluded stay away from other tourists.

If you can't decide, then why not take a luxury cruise and travel to some of the most famous islands?

Bali could be your destination for a quiet, tranquil retreat. To experience authentic Balinese culture, head to Ubud, where you will find conservation centres, rice paddies, and friendly locals.

In Seminyak, you will find some of the world's most gorgeous beaches, spas, and boutiques. One of the best things about Bali is that, due to its small size, you can travel to multiple areas during your stay so that you can get a taste of everything the island has to offer.

If you want to be out in nature, then why not consider a luxury safari in Kenya? Kenya is home to some of Africa's most incredible safari lodges, including many luxurious stays such as the Agama Mara, located on a hilltop, which boasts stunning views of the Masai Mara.

Consider a travel package

Travel packages or all-inclusive trips are a brilliant way to remove the stress that comes with planning your own vacation – instead, leave the details to someone else.

Travel packages offer a range of benefits, including legal and financial protection, as well as convenience. 

Duration 

While many of us may wish to stay on our vacation forever, it is not always possible — but you should always consider the duration of your stay to ensure that your mind and body have time to relax and disconnect from the real world.

Research has found that although the average American takes a four-day break, the optimum vacation length is eight days.

Final thoughts

A luxury vacation is an excellent way to reward yourself and take much needed break from your daily routine.

With luxurious amenities, personalized service, and access to amazing experiences, you can create a memorable and relaxing getaway that you’ll never forget.

Whether you plan to stay in a five-star resort, book a private villa, or explore a new city, a luxury vacation is an opportunity to take a break and enjoy the finer things in life.
