Luxury adventure travel can be a very fascinating option and an intriguing one for those who do not want to give up either on traveling with style or on having a bit of adventurous fun. http://www.spatravel.co.uk
2. Combining Luxury & Adventure
• Who said that Luxury Holidays cannot be combined with the spirit of
adventure?
• Adventure holidays such as backpacking or trekking are usually associated
with ‘roughing’ it while luxury holidays summon up images of people
pampering themselves in a five star Spa resort in some exotic destination
• Why not have the best of both worlds?
• The good news is that there are creative ways of spicing up your luxury
holiday with some spirit of adventure.
• Here are 5 ideas:
3. 1. The Indian Maharaja Luxury Train
• The Indian Maharaja is
one of the best luxury
trains in the world
• It runs an 8 day journey
across India between
Mumbai and Delhi
• It stops in several places
of interest for day tours
• Such places include Ellora
caves, Ajanta
Caves, Udaipur, a jungle
safari, Jaipur, Agra and
the Taj Mahal
The train is of the highest standards fully equipped with style and luxury. Amenities
on board include a library, bar, gym beauty parlor and even a steam bath.
4. 2. A Luxury African Safari
Anyone interested in the
exotic wildlife and beautiful
countryside of Africa should
consider a luxury African
safari
Many of the best companies
and tours operate out of
Kenya from stylish country
properties and employ
knowledgeable local people
to act as guides.
With private flights between the Masai Mara, the Great Rift Valley and Lake
Victoria, there is no better way to experience some of the best things the African
continent has to offer.
5. 3. An Antarctic Luxury Cruise
Offering five star amenities,
a luxury cruise in Antarctica
offers the chance to travel
through the remote
wilderness in style
There are ample
opportunities to see glaciers,
icebergs, whales, penguins
and other wildlife.
Most tours have on board highly qualified naturalists who offer lectures and take
the tours.
6. 4. A Scandinavian Ice Hotel
At the other end of the
earth, quite literally, another
unique opportunity presents
itself for those people seeking
adventure and the unusual
whilst not sacrificing luxury.
Ice Hotels can be found in
both Norway and Sweden.
Every year, the hotel is rebuilt
out of the ice, ready for its
doors to open in January on
the edge of the Arctic circle.
The hotel is a work of art, with chandeliers also being carved out of the ice and
guests have individual rooms with reindeer skins and sleeping bags to keep warm.
7. 5. An Adventure Spa
Both adventure and Spa can be
merged together at the Red
Mountain Spa in Utah
People that stay here can enjoy
the great outdoors with
adventure sports such as
mountain biking, kayaking and
rock climbing, and then have
their aches and pains taken away
by a variety of relaxing therapies,
all within a stylish and luxurious
atmosphere.
It provides the ideal spa break for anyone that wants to get a little exercise and
wants to be pampered at the end of the day.
