PREPARING A SURPRISE GETAWAY - YOUR GUIDE FOR LUXURIOUS TRAVEL

Written by Menswear Style in Travel on the 16th October 2024

Want to surprise your loved one? Keen to create memories with your friends or family? Well, this guide will help you plan the perfect surprise getaway in maximum luxury. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or a celebrating a business achievement/venture, we have the know-how and are ready to share it with you.

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Destination

The first step in planning luxury is planning ahead and selecting the perfect destination. You need to pick a concrete location or region, depending on the mood and preferences. The destination could be great for a beach retreat, a romantic exploration of a beautiful city, an escape to the mountain chalet or a mix of so much more. Think about what your loved ones enjoy most. If you’re aiming for pure luxury, there are iconic destinations like the Amalfi Coast, the French Riviera, Bali, Miami, Swiss Alps. To preserve the element of surprise, you can choose a destination they’ve always dreamed of visiting or a place that holds sentimental value for the both of you.

Step 2: Book a Luxury Villa in Advance

What’s probably the most important thing in any vacation? Well, the accommodation, of course! If you want something on the more luxurious side, we can recommend villas. In regions like the Mediterranean, or on many other parts of the world, they are heads and shoulders above even some of the top tier hotels. Yet, you can’t necessarily find them on the biggest platforms. You need to be in the know, like with the Amberton Green villas in Corfu. They have a website https://ambertonhotels.com/en/corfu/ and offer exquisite levels of comfort. Booking in advance is also important because even luxury properties can fill up quickly during peak seasons. Don’t forget to look at the info for check-in and check-out, as well as the list of amenities.

Step 3: Make an Agenda

A holiday can’t be complete if you just book a nice spot for a getaway. Memories are made while doing activities or seeing sights and that’s exactly what you should think of. Look at excursions, tours or even renting a car and taking drives along the coast or to the nearest points of interest. Use tools like Google Maps or TripAdvisor to make extensive lists which can later be used for navigation. Don’t forget to get reservations for tables at fancy restaurants. Keep in mind that select luxury destinations offer fine dining experiences with customisation options.

Step 4: Pack Your Luggage

Now that everything else is ready, it’s time to pack. If you book transport to(from) the airport, don’t overthink and pack all essentials as well as nicest clothes. If your significant other is getting the news as a surprise, you can tell them the generic description to pack whatever is essential and you can get the rest on site. Look at the weather forecast and take your agenda into account.
