The wealthy class always seems to like to separate themselves from the crowd when traveling. In order not to experience the feeling of being crowded and noisy, but to enjoy a quiet and gentle space for your trip. Here are some tourist destinations that are very popular with the upper class.
Maldives
Maldives deserves to be a resort paradise, with tranquil waters, white sand beaches, and high-class service. Here, the rich can rent more attractive rooms than anywhere in the world, such as the room located under the sea at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island hotel for about 10,000 USD / night. Or a 1,349-square-foot villa on a private island served by a Michelin-starred chef and a submarine for $23,000 per night.
Not only the scenery, but the high-class and attentive service here makes people want to come back. In particular, the Maldives is the permanent resort of the royal family. In early 2014, Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton of the United Kingdom stayed at the 5-star Cheval Blanc Randheli Hotel.
Laucala Island, Fiji
With an area of about 14.2 km2, Laucala Island is a very popular destination for rich people. Because the space is private and isolated, but no less comfortable. The staff here are always ready to serve all guests at 25 villas on the island. Accompanying the quality of service is the price that is not “comfortable” at all, about 4,200 USD / night. When coming here, visitors can enjoy local cuisine, as well as attend festivals at the cultural village of Laucala island.
In addition, if you do not want to step outside, you can also choose to rest at the villa. At the same time enjoy delicious, impressive dishes made with ingredients sourced right on the island. Dietrich Mateschitz, co-founder of Red Bull, once bought the island and transformed it into a private resort paradise. Billionaires all over the world regularly keep the island’s rooms.
Saint Barthelemy Island
The island of Saint Barthelemy (a French overseas territory) is located in the Caribbean. This place is one of the hardest places in the world. To reach the island, one must mainly use a yacht or private plane. In particular, there are no famous hotel chains located along the beach areas like neighboring islands. And the villa rental price is super expensive, up to 100,000 – 200,000 USD/week. If you want to rent a room or villa for Christmas, even the rich have to book a room very early.
From the cuisine to the hotels on the island of Saint Barthelemy, everything gives visitors the experience of being in France. Since the 1950s, the island has been a favorite destination for famous artists and writers. Therefore, this area is considered one of the best places to protect visitors, especially paparazzi who want to find relaxing moments of celebrities.
Island of Maui
Maui Island in Hawaii (USA) has always been a resort paradise loved by the rich. Because there are perfect beaches, luxury hotels, professional golf courses, top restaurants, and beautiful weather all year round. The island is always crowded during the year-end holidays, especially in the Kaanapali area – where many hotels are concentrated.
In particular, Maui is loved by many celebrities. However, they and those with a lot of money often go to other parts of the island like Wailea, where a large room with two bedrooms costs $5,000 a night. In general, the island of Maui is very suitable for activities such as surfing, climbing, sailing, yoga, and swimming.
