Intro:
Think luxury travel is only for the rich and famous? Think again. With the right strategies (and a savvy travel advisor—hey, that’s me), you can soak in five-star experiences without draining your savings. Here are my top five secrets for booking luxury vacations on a not-so-luxury budget.
1. Travel in the Shoulder Season
Want all the glam without all the crowds (or the price tags)? Travel just before or after peak season—think late spring or early fall. You’ll get lower rates, better service, and more availability without sacrificing the weather or experience.
2. Choose Luxury Where It Counts
Not everything has to be first-class. Pick one or two “splurge” moments (like a stunning hotel or an over-the-top dinner), and balance the rest. I can help find hidden gem stays that feel five-star but don’t cost it.
3. Use Points & Perks Wisely
Credit card points, travel rewards, and loyalty programs are a goldmine—if you know how to work them. I help clients use points for flights and upgrades, then pair them with insider hotel rates that stretch their dollars further.
4. Book with a Travel Advisor (That’s Me)
You know what’s not luxurious? Wasting hours scouring the internet for deals. I have access to exclusive perks, upgrades, and discounts that aren’t available online. Translation: more luxury, less stress.
5. Go All-Inclusive—But Make It Chic
Not all all-inclusives are created equal. Some offer gourmet dining, craft cocktails, and incredible service—without the budget-busting bill. I know which ones are truly worth it (and which to avoid).
