When you think “luxury” what comes to mind? Is it a decadent meal? Comfy beds? Is it incredible hospitality that anticipates every need? Is it a breathtaking beach? Or is it simply having time to create memories with people you love?
While pondering, I came across this definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary:“an indulgence in something that provides pleasure, satisfaction, or ease.” I love the idea that luxury is a feeling – not necessarily a price tag. I truly believe you can weave this feeling through an itinerary on any budget (our guidebooks have plenty of info on how to do that).
But it is wonderful once in a while to plunge into (or at least dream of) a trip that leaves us feeling pampered, refreshed and possibly like we temporarily visited another tax bracket.
This week, I invite you to take a mental break from reality and explore some of our favorite luxury destinations and experiences.
