Many people take vacations because they want experiences. An experience doesn’t always require a trip or even a day off, you can find some nearby. Here are ten luxurious experiences you should try at least once.
10. Staying at a 5-Star Hotel
It can’t be overstated that the accommodations at a 5-star luxury hotel are unparalleled. The attention to detail and providing absolute comfort is something you have to experience to truly appreciate. After your stay, you’ll be inspired to change the way you approach certain details and comfort in your home and surroundings.
9. Dining at a Michelin-Star Restaurant
The Michelin Guides are guidebooks published since 1900 that award up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a few select restaurants. A restaurant receiving three Michelin stars represents one of the world’s best dining experiences. Do it up right and select a place with a dress code and the lights down low. It’s a culinary experience like no other.
8. Indulging in a Full Spa Day at a Luxury Spot
Having a service or two spa pales in comparison to the experience of a full spa day at a luxury spa. The pampering not only relaxes your body but also transcends your mind. Such an experience will help you understand the importance of self-care treatment. You’ll walk away with the belief that you are your greatest investment.
7. Attending a Symphony, Opera, or Ballet
The experience of attending a symphony, opera, or ballet presents the opportunity to cultivate an appreciation for the arts. Enjoy it to its fullest, and make the entire evening one of elegance. Get dressed in your best clothing. Have dinner at a high-end restaurant before the show. Then, experience the height of music and dance at its finest.
6. Visiting or Buying Something at a Luxury Store
Visiting a luxury store is different from anything in your local mall. Details matter, and you’ll notice the difference, as it’s a truly pleasurable shopping experience. The attention of the staff is night and day. Even better, by something, even if it’s small. Notice the care taken with the item, wrapping it in pretty paper and bagging it with care.
5. Eating Luxury Food
Fine dining establishments are where food connoisseurs go to find luxury food. Of course, caviar is a staple, but there are many others. You’ll find items on the menu such as truffles, saffron, oysters, wagyu beef, foie gras, and many others. While these items are expensive, it’s worth it for the experience of refining one’s culinary palette.
4. Taking a Car to/from the Airport While Abroad
Most travelers to big cities around the world will make the economical choice of taking the subway/metro/tube to get to and from the airport. However, for a more luxurious experience, consider a private car, such as a cab, or even splurge on a limousine. This spares you from the hassle of slogging your luggage through train stations.
3. Purchasing a Luxury Box of Chocolates
We’re not talking about See’s Candies here; we’re talking about chocolate on an even higher level. When referring to shops such as La Maison du Chocolat, Richart, Compartes, and Vosges, those that taught the list of luxury chocolate. However, if you can’t find access to the shops, then a box of Godiva will do to create a luxurious chocolate moment.
