Luxury Travel Destinations: How You Get There is Just as Important

You booked that private villa months in advance and spared no expense to have the time of your life there. However, for the most optimal travel experience possible, how you get there is just as important.

That’s because your luxury experience should start as soon as you leave your front door, not when you arrive at your villa, and end when you get back home. Think about how fleeting the memories of your luxury vacation will be if you return home flying economy, in the back of a cab, and taking the subway. You deserve better transportation options – and we’re going to share them with you.

Join the jet set – at least for a day

If you’ve ever waited in long check-in and security lines at the airport, experienced a hassle with airline staff, or had your knees capped by the seat ahead of you in your economy cabin, you’ve probably wondered if there is a better option for air travel.

Of course, there is – a private jet!

Nothing puts success on display than traveling by private jet. Some of these jets, like the Gulfstream G650 or Bombardier Global 7500, resemble luxurious hotel suites with sumptuous interiors, built-in technology, and lots of space all to yourself and your companions. With a crew catering to your every whim, you’ll feel like royalty as you settle into your plush chairs to enjoy the finest gourmet dining.

It’s about the farthest you can get from crowded seats, screaming kids, and skinny sandwiches on a plastic tray – in other words, you’re exactly where you want to be.

Travel by ground with style and power

Once you disembark your private jet, how will you get to your final destination? Are you going to line up at the car rental desk to pick up a mid-range sedan? We’re willing to bet you’re not, so we recommend a high-performance supercar, like the ones you’ve watched zip by people on the highway.

Take your pick from Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren, slide behind the wheel into the well-appointed cabin, put on your driving gloves, and hit the gas. Although you might feel like hitting a top speed of 200 mph, we don’t recommend you do it. Put so much as a scratch on these beauties and you’ll go to jail for a long time. At least, we think you should, anyway.

Then again, if you’re the type who feels like you’re in a Fast and the Furious movie every time you put a car in gear, maybe someone else should do the driving. Avoid a dirty cab, and don’t even think about the local bus. Instead, elevate your ground transportation game by booking an Escalade with a private driver.

Today’s Escalade's are so luxurious you’ll think you’re still in the private jet. Plush leather seating, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, and tinted windows all add to the experience as you watch the world go by, drink in hand, and not a care in the world.

Ride the waves in complete luxury

Some travelers prefer not to fly. Not out of fear, but because they’d rather experience the passing scenery than fly 30,000 feet above it.

If your villa is by the sea, why not charter a private boat to get there? We’re not talking about a little two-crew operation that’ll risk you landing on Glligan’s Island. No, you deserve something much better than that. Something like a private yacht. That’s more like it.

Be spoiled by a captain and crew ready to grant your every wish and a private chef preparing gourmet meals to your exact specifications. Dock the vessel at or near your villa so it’s available for day trips, such as deep-sea fishing or exploring coves. Many of the bigger yachts offer swimming pools, recreational facilities, and luxurious lounges – sort of like a floating resort but without the crowds.

And getting away from it all is the whole point, right?

Remember, how you travel is just as important as where you’re going. You deserve better, and it’s all just waiting for you with Luxuri.
