We asked Joshua (Josh) Landy – Luxury Escapes’ Head of Tours and travel fanatic – for the lowdown on the world’s top destinations and where to visit in the next 365 days. From witnessing the spectacle of Egypt’s ancient pyramids to dogsledding beneath Scandinavia’s dancing Northern Lights, wherever you’re eager to explore, we have you covered. Ready for your next adventure? Check out our handpicked tours. IBERIAN PENINSULA: SPAIN, PORTUGAL & MOROCCO Positioned at one of the great crossroads of history, Spain, Portugal and Morocco each offer a dazzling range of experiences for the intrepid traveller. “It’s never been easier to explore each magical destination than on a grand tour of the Iberian Peninsula,” says Josh. Flamenco and midnight tapas feasts await in Granada, Spain, while Portugal hides eponymous wine tastings galore in Porto and countless cruise opportunities down the lazy Douro River. Finally, Morocco gifts endless architectural beauty, vivid spice souks and unforgettable evenings in Casablanca, Fez and bustling Marrakech. Ready to discover the best of Spain and Portugal? Check out this tour. * Starts and ends in Madrid BEST OF SPAIN & PORTUGAL Operated by: Insight Vacations 15 days · 17 places · 3 countries 15 days from A$5,115 Includes taxes & fees twin room View offer JAPAN “There’s nowhere else like it,” says Josh, “especially in cherry blossom season.” The country is bursting with once-in-a-lifetime experiences; from Osaka’s neon-washed, food-filled streets to Sagano’s sprawling bamboo forests and Miyajima Island’s otherworldly shores, home to countless sacred deer. Whether it’s ancient shrines and manga museums in Kyoto, book-shopping and Michelin-star omakase in Tokyo or Hiroshima’s unbelievably beautiful Peace Memorial Park, Japan is like a Harajuku vending machine – overflowing with possibilities. Travel in spring to see the city parklands ignite in a wave of pink as hanami season descends and thousands carouse throughout the day in a boozy celebration of the fleeting impermanence of beauty.

Famished foodies will adore Seoul’s culinary soul, backed by a seemingly endless parade of kimchi, tteokbokki and smoke-infused barbecue. “If you’ve done Japan, and you’re looking for more,” says Josh, “South Korea’s got to be on your list.” Don’t miss visiting the Imjingak Resort Unification Park for a unique glimpse into North Korea – from the park’s observation platform you can see the infamous ‘Propaganda Village’ ghost town. * * * * * * * * Starts in Seoul, Ends in Tokyo SOUTH KOREA & JAPAN 2024 SMALL-GROUP HIGHLIGHTS TOUR WITH INTERNAL FLIGHTS, KYOTO BULLET TRAIN & MOUNT FUJI Operated by: Luxury Escapes Tours 12 days · 10 places · 2 countries 12 days from A$5,499 Includes taxes & fees twin_regular room Valued up to A$7,427-26% View offer VIETNAM Travel from Vietnam’s soothing south to its storied north and let the country’s rip-roaring spirit inspire you. It’s affordable, too, points out Josh: “There’s no better place to find luxury for less.” Explore floating communities and coconut groves in the Mekong Delta, wander through Hoi An’s lantern-strewn streets – steeped in history and offering some of the best banh mis in the world – and glide through the ethereal emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and the occasional hardworking wooden junk boat.

Move over Seminyak: this southwest enclave is the new kid on the block when it comes to the island’s best dining. If the beach club life is calling you, check into COMO Uma Canggu, where laidback brunches and oceanside cocktails rule supreme. * * * * * * * * Canggu, Bali COMO UMA CANGGU CANGGU FIVE-STAR LAIDBACK BEACHFRONT LUXURY WITH ULTRA-COOL BEACH CLUB 9.4Exceptional1189 reviews 1 to 30 Nights A$1,047 inc. taxes & fees View offer SCANDINAVIA: NORWAY, DENMARK AND SWEDEN “Scandinavia’s perfect for explorers,” says Josh. “It’s completely different from the rest of Europe and the perfect place to see the Northern Lights.” Here, the volcano-strewn wilderness beloved by Vikings stands almost completely untouched; forested islands are surrounded by deep seas hiding frolicking whales, mighty glaciers dominate the horizon and each breath of fresh air tastes better than the last. The cities are no slouch either – some of the world’s most acclaimed fine dining can be found in Copenhagen, and Stockholm’s photogenic nature is near legendary. Plus, you can get around in one of the most unique ways on earth: via dogsled underneath the Northern Lights.

A song of ice and fire takes on new meaning in the USA: if kicking up a flurry of the white stuff is your thing, the skiing in Utah and Colorado is unmatched, while the sun-kissed Hawaiian Islands dial up the heat with incomparable hikes, surf and culture. If cosmopolitan life is more your vibe, discover the world’s greatest art museums, galleries and restaurants in the city where the lights never go out or dim down – New York City. For a wander on the wild side, find lady luck in the heart of the Mojave Desert with a trip to Las Vegas and dance and dine your way through New Orleans’ monumental Bourbon Street, pulsing with neon lights, music and French aesthetic. Whatever you’re after, North America more than provides. Ready to dive into North America? Discover Phoenix to Las Vegas, New England in the Fall or the Best Of Hawaii.

Savour a truly secluded safari adventure among the sand-rimmed lakes of Wilpattu National Park, home to elephants, leopards and spotted deer, or strike out to Sigirya, called ‘Lion Rock,’ a truly awe-inspiring granite fortress built atop an ancient magma plug, originally home to ascetics and royalty.

While shooting for the movie is actually largely taking place in Malta and Morocco, where better to walk in the footsteps of real gladiators than the Colosseum? Happily, Qantas is set to reinstate its thrice-weekly direct flights from Perth to Rome in 2024, with CEO Cameron Wallace saying, "Our Perth to Rome route was one of the most popular across our international network last year and bookings show it's shaping to be that way again."

If you want to walk on the wild side without compromising on luxury, look to the next-level safari lodges of Botswana. Properties here are as much as experience in themselves as the safari (case in point, Xigera Safari Lodge, whose 12 jaw-dropping suites feature freestanding tubs overlooking the plains of the Okavango Delta). Indeed, the price point is higher here than the likes of Kenya, but this is by design: fewer tourists mean a better experience both for visitors and the wildlife, which includes the highest population of elephants in the world. * * * * * * * * Masarwa, Botswana XIGERA SAFARI LODGE ALL-INCLUSIVE RED CARNATION COLLECTION BOTSWANA SAFARI LODGE IN OKAVANGO DELTA 10.0Outstanding5 reviews 1 to 30 Nights A$18,320 inc. taxes & fees View offer See the world with Tours by Luxury Escapes: book a small-group adventure curated exclusively by the experts and unlock deeper travel experiences that exceed every expectation.
