Fancy a change from scrawling through the money-off, discounted, last minute cheap-as-possible holiday websites? Calculating how you could possibly book self-catering to knock the price down £100 even though it would mean living off crisps and breadsticks for a week? Hunting round the sales racks for that new holiday wardrobe… even though you’re already in Primark and it can’t get much cheaper?
Well take a break from the scrimping and budgeting we have become so accustomed to when it comes to booking a holiday; instead, feast your eyes on these breathtaking luxury holiday destinations from around the globe. We may not be able to afford to see them in person, but we are all capable of appreciating the luxuriousness through a computer screen.
We are often so busy looking within our own budgets that we forget to have a gander at how exactly the other half live. Besides, it always helps to have a ridiculously beautiful and luxury holiday in mind for that day that you eventually win the lottery!

Niyama, Maldives
How does a 5* paradise spa, located by seaplane, set over the islands of Embudhufushi and Olhuveli sound? Good? It may well sound even better when you find out it has an UNDERWATER NIGHTCLUB (opened by the one and only Tinie Timpah) and a FLOATING RESTAURANT….. Yes, pick your jaw up off the floor, march to work and demand all the overtime you can cope with, because a visit to this absolute dream site will set you back around £4704 (that’s one bedroom). You can see it for yourself (and some of the incredible room options they have) here.
Velaa Private Island, Maldives
Perfect for Honeymooners, Velaa Island is a tropical island hideaway housing 45 intimate lodgings, engulfed by astonishing white sands and sapphire waters. All villas include lavish facilities and a private pool. If you manage to draw your eyes away from the stunning views, you could try a submarine voyage, enrol in a golf academy or visit the dive centre; just a small selection of the unique leisure activities available on site. Sound up your street? That will be £17,358 please….
Need a cheaper option? Just a teeny tiny £4000 will do.
Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco
Located an hour from Marrakech, Kashbah Tamadot is set at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and nicknamed the ‘Jewel of Morocco’. What you really need to know about this place is that it’s owned by Richard Branson, and it’s featured on the television a LOT. Do you really need to hear anymore to win you round? No, thought not.
A visit to Richard’s 457597th holiday home will set you back anywhere between £999- £4438.
Fregate Private Island, Seychelles
A real nature lover’s paradise, Fregate is described as a unique, multi-award winning property hosting just 16 private villas. Surrounded by an abundance of nature, the island runs its own ecological programme and uses home-grown produce to create the outstanding gourmet food on offer. The island is perfect for couples and families who enjoy the peace and serenity that can only be found in one of nature’s truly amazing hidden gems.
The cheapest residence will cost you £9059.… When did nature get quite so expensive??
Echanted Island Resort, Seychelles
The clue is in the name; this is an enchanting place with crystal clear waters and stunning beaches located in the middle of a marine park surrounded by lush flora and fauna. Truly amazing to look at, this resort plays host to 10 luxury villas with a direct walkway to the beach and the opportunity to make your luxury holiday your own unique experience with access to snorkelling and kayaking equipment, and a serene spa.
A private pool villa will cost you an enchanting £2625.
The Bullet Proof Chalet, Austrian Alps
Possibly the most ridiculously extravagant on our holiday wish list, this is the world’s most expensive rental chalet, overlooking the slopes of Oberlech and playing host to playing host to celebrities such as Tina Turner and Rihanna. If you were ever lucky enough to visit this once-in-a-lifetime resort, expect the biggest spa you’ve ever seen, a pool featuring colour changing water depending what your mood is (what??) and underwater music, titanium cutlery, a private wine cellar, pillows embroidered with your initials, and of course, bulletproof windows.
Do you even want to know the price of a week’s stay in this place?
Are you sure?
Positive?
It’s £230,000. Sorry!!
