Most of us are used to going to a beach – or somewhere warm – or a mountain on holidays. We’ve become so used to booking a flight to a popular holiday destination and enjoying a week of exploring tourist attractions – basically the same holiday experience we have every year. If you’re looking to spice things up and have an entirely different adventure on your next holiday, these next few ideas will definitely get you inspired.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy spending time on a gorgeous beach for a whole week. That said, there are ways to make the experience much – MUCH – better. A luxury trip to Costa Rica is a great place to start. You may think renting a luxury villa and enjoying a week of nothing but utter pampering is not for you, but this type of luxury trip is more accessible than you think.
Take a look at the best Costa Rica luxury villa and you’ll find the cost of staying for several nights there to be relatively affordable. The villa is designed to host up to 27 people with all of its amenities, so the seemingly expensive cost is actually very affordable once you start considering the number of people with whom you can share the experience.
On the plus side, there are plenty of other things to do too. You can explore the nearby forest and see the native animals in their natural habitat. You can enjoy some of the most breathtaking walks and hikes in the area. More importantly, you can enjoy all of these experiences privately, without having to mix with other tourists.
Raja Ampat, Indonesia, is one of those magical places you just have to visit once in your lifetime. The place has so much to offer, but the one holiday experience that you will never be able to forget is diving or snorkeling in the area. Raja Ampat is one of the few places in the world where you can actually get close – REALLY CLOSE – to a whale shark.
Raja Ampat also offers a lot of adventures. You can take a long hike down to the local village and see the native tribal traditions. There are dances and other rituals being performed on a regular basis. At night, you can easily find a spot from which you can see the Milky Way clearly with your naked eyes. Be sure to have your camera ready!
Last but certainly not least, you can actually get the chance to visit several beaches – and spend a few days cruising through the ocean – by booking a cruise. There is a trick to getting a good deal on a cruise. You need to either book very early or book very late. You can get a lot of discounts and special offers, extra amenities and other bonuses with the deal.
More importantly, you can enjoy an all-inclusive holiday experience while beach-hopping, from one beautiful beach to another. If you’ve never considered going on a cruise before, now is the perfect time to give it a try.
