But if you are going to go all-out and book that luxury getaway – whether it's for a honeymoon, retirement trip or a one-in-a-lifetime holiday you've been saving up for – you want to get it right. So this week, we've rounded up the gorgeous luxury trips that we think are worth the spend. Although it's worth noting that luxury doesn't always have to mean overwhelmingly expensive. There are plenty of destinations where your cash will go a little further, as well as tips and tricks for living the high life while on a budget. Read on for more inspiration. |

For 30 years I have been writing as The Man Who Pays His Way – with the strongest of incentives to seek out the best value in travel, and to hold holiday companies, airlines and the rest of the industry to account. They still advertise with The Independent, and work with us in partnership on commercial ventures (all of which are clearly badged, incidentally, to keep them distinct from pure editorial). During those three decades, the travel desk has always been small but focused: telling the stories of innovation, indulgence and adventure, along with a reliable tangle of transport chaos along the way. My excellent colleagues (all of whom seem to be even younger than me) are also formidably productive. The work has become sharper and faster since The Independent went entirely online eight years ago, and as a reader I believe the journalism is even better. To judge for yourself, try taking out a subscription; by doing so, you will join the elite who can ask direct travel questions of me every week, in our special Premium Ask Me Anything newsletter. And for a limited time only, you can secure 6 months for just £1. Looking forward to hearing from you. |
