High-End Travel Destinations For The Under 30s

Under 30 with a bit of cash to your name? If you’re looking for a holiday or trip with a certain je ne sais quoi, look no further than these high-end travel destinations that can treat you to a holiday to remember if you’re willing to spend a little more.

Cancun

You don’t have to be 18 and on spring break to enjoy Cancun. This Mexican holiday destination offers powdery soft sand and the bluest of blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, beside four and five-star all-inclusive resorts that are perfect for singles, couples and friends under 30. Lap up the sun, play a round at the golf course, shop in extravagant malls, dine out at fine restaurants, relax in a spa and discover the history of Cancun with a journey through Mayan art, architecture and civilisation.

Jamaica

Another Caribbean resident, Jamaica has plenty to offer a fortunate young traveller. Famous cuisine, rum distilleries, authentic island music, a relaxed vibe and pretty awesome people, you don’t have to spend a lot here to get the full experience, but if you can it certainly helps! On an island as iconic as Jamaica, you want to stay in something a bit special after a day of sightseeing, so indulge in the finesse and fine welcome of a hotel. Any suite worth paying for will be joined by a pool, bar and view of the sea.

Marrakech

Drenched in elegant charm and beautiful treasures, Marrakech is the ideal destination if you want to soak up a wealth of history and tradition. Luxury shopping, beautiful souvenirs, ornamental lakes, flourishing gardens and gorgeous hotels boasting sunset terraces and elegant architecture, no wonder bartering at the city’s markets is encouraged. As well as the hustle and bustle of this enriching city, there are opportunities to relax in the Marrakech baths, spas and hotel pools.

The Arctic & Antarctic

High-end travel isn’t all about exquisite hotels and culture – it can also be about adventure. A trip to the North or South Pole is no cheap or ordinary holiday; it’s cold, it’s barren, it’s a long time travelling and there are sights that you won’t see anywhere else in the world. Polar bears in the north, penguins in the south, a sharp white landscape, bright blue skies, and not a supermarket or hotel in sight, you won’t spend much while you’re there, but the price you pay goes towards a unique trip to the most untouched yet deeply threatened destinations on Earth.

Santorini

While all of Greece’s islands are bathed in beauty and fringed by turquoise waters, Santorini is the epitome of high-end travel. Just look at it! Famous for its whitewash houses, there’s a history in Santorini that sets it apart from its Greek sisters. Its crescent shape is a result of the volcanic activity thousands of years ago, which buried an affluent settlement that feeds the myth of the lost Atlantis. Santorini’s beaches are surrounded by the elements of the volcano, with deep red sand pebbles, rugged cliffs and hidden coves. There are great tours as a result of the island’s incredible geology, so you can take a boat out to sea, scuba dive near underwater volcanic activity, and take beautiful images on a photography tour.
