Exotic and romantic locations for luxury holidays

By Peter Smith

As with most things in life what constitutes luxury holidays is a matter of opinion, as they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". For some people the laid back luxury of the Maldives or Zanzibar is the best way to enjoy their luxury holidays, where others may like the appeal of a modern city hotel.

The world has so much to offer the modern traveller with luxury holidays that will fit the most demanding of criteria. Regardless of whether it is a six star deluxe resort hotel or a more chilled out island destination, you are sure to find something that fits the bill.

Some of the more exclusive resorts offering "luxury holidays" can be found in the UAE but these luxury hotels and holidays are not to everyone's tastes. Whilst Dubai offers the impeccable service and first class accommodation it is thought of by some as a little "disney" or "bling". However, with guaranteed year round sunshine and only a 7 hour flight time this is one destination that is sure to be a winner for a long time to come.

Well known for its high density of luxury hotels, Mauritius has always been popular with travellers looking for the ultimate in luxury holidays. Mauritius is one of the first destinations to offer the "super all inclusive packages" where you can enjoy daily spa treatments, golf, gourmet food and fine wines all included in you holiday price. With a great year round climate and beautiful Indian Ocean beaches, Mauritius has always been a mainstay for discerning travellers looking for the ultimate in luxury holidays.

As the UK's number one destination for luxury holidays, the Caribbean is the "old dame" of long haul travel. The Caribbean has always been a traditional haunt for the rich and famous looking to escape on their luxury holidays and this is always going to be a destination that won't disappoint. With so many islands to choose from, each with its own style, there is certainly something to suit everyone.

For the slightly more adventurous traveller the Far East offers probably the very best value for money luxury holidays. Nearly all the luxury hotels in the Far East feature first class spas and are set on some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Far East luxury holidays also offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy a twin centre holiday visiting the exciting cities of Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or Singapore.
