Travel is an important part of life, and one typically has to experience it to know why people love it. There are many benefits of traveling, and the most obvious benefit to the body and mind is being able to take a break from work and other day-to-day activities. The new places, new experiences, and lasting memories help travelers appreciate the fact that they are alive; and these factors ultimately enhance their sense of happiness. Whether you travel frequently or once in a blue moon, there are some travel luxuries you should splurge on at least once. These travel luxuries are not cheap, but they offer what the French call the créme de la créme
meaning the best of the best.
Luxury travel promises personalized services, intimate experiences, gourmet food, and surreal surroundings that maximize one's enjoyment while minimizing stress. Everyone deserves to experience some travel luxuries at least once. Consider these five travel luxuries that are worth splurging on at least once.
Charter a Private Jet
Being able to charter a private jet is arguably the ultimate luxury travel experience. It's expensive to charter a private jet, but the experience can be quite worth the cost. Traveling on a private jet means deciding on a tailored flight timetable while avoiding dealing with airport crowds and security. This allows travelers to maximize time at their destinations and massively improve convenience. The services on private jets can be personalized, and private jets are not subject to flight changes that occasionally happen when traveling commercially. Travelers can request catered meals and technology which is generally not provided on commercial flights; and the small number of passengers on private jets means the travelers have more space, privacy, ability to move freely, and the opportunity to thereby enjoy the ultimate travel experience.
Spend the Night in a High-End Hotel
Not everyone has enjoyed a luxury hotel experience, but travelers who appreciate quality service should endeavor to splurge on a high-end resort experience at least once. On arrival at any top-notch hotel, the superb design and aesthetics of the exterior and interior are clear. These types of hotels are effortlessly fancy which is another way of saying they are fancy without trying too hard to be fancy. Everything about the hotel is generally designed and tailored for the guests' convenience. The environment is typically pristinely clean, the rooms tend to be worthy of royalty, and the quality of service is top-notch and personalized. The staff is courteous and trained to anticipate guests' needs. There is usually also no shortage of round-the-clock world-class amenities such as spas, pools, tennis courts, and more.

Stay in an All-Inclusive Resort
An all-inclusive resort should be in the future of every traveler. Typically, all-inclusive resorts offer food, drinks, entertainment, and accommodations for a fixed price. Facilities such as gym and pool are usually free. However, guests can pay extra to have their pool, lounge, or section of a beach if the resort is near the ocean. The main benefit of lodging at an all-inclusive resort is that you have peace of mind since you've already paid for the indulgence. The drinks and dining are also of an upscale quality provided the traveler chooses a good resort, and poolside and evening entertainment are close to the rooms.
Dine in a Michelin-Starred Restaurant
The highest award any restaurant could receive is a Michelin Star as it means the quality of the food is among the best of the best. Restaurants can receive one, two, or three Michelin stars depending on the quality of the food. A single Michelin Star means the food is very good, two stars signify the food is of excellent quality while three Michelin stars signify exceptional cuisine that is worth a special trip. Michelin-starred restaurants belong to a different class, and this is reflected in the price. However, travelers should treat themselves to the superb cuisine served at Michelin-starred restaurants at least once.
Charter a Yacht
Chartering a yacht is a wonderful way to relax on the water. And the incredible scenery at many ocean locations improves the experience of those onboard. Luxury yachts offer privacy thanks to their exclusive private rooms, and guests can socialize as much or as little as they want. For those looking for activities to keep them entertained on the water, many luxury yachts have spas, wine tasting, snorkeling expeditions, scuba diving, and more.
There are many ways to treat yourself to luxury while traveling from the mode of transportation to the services and amenities enjoyed onsite at the destination. However you enjoy niceties such as these, it is good to feel exquisitely pampered at least every once in a while.
