The world has so much to offer the modern traveller with luxury holidays that will fit the most demanding of criteria. Regardless of whether it is a six star deluxe resort hotel or a more chilled out island destination, you are sure to find something that fits the bill.

Some of the more exclusive resorts offering "luxury holidays" can be found in the UAE but these luxury hotels and holidays are not to everyone's tastes. Whilst Dubai offers the impeccable service and first class accommodation it is thought of by some as a little "disney" or "bling". However, with guaranteed year round sunshine and only a 7 hour flight time this is one destination that is sure to be a winner for a long time to come.

Consistently in the world's top ten long haul destinations, Mauritius has always been a mainstay for discerning travellers looking for the ultimate in luxury holidays. There are a number of new luxury hotels offering the "ultimate all inclusive packages" where daily spa treatments, golf green fees and fine dining are all included in your holiday cost, add to this beautiful beaches and great climate and it is understandable why Mauritius remains so popular.

The Caribbean has always been a very popular choice with the British public looking to escape on their luxury holidays. Arguably the Caribbean offers a more traditional luxury experience, coupled with some of the world's most beautiful beaches and relaxed service. With so many islands to choose from, each with its own style and climate, there is certainly something to suit everyone.

For the slightly more adventurous traveller the Far East offers probably the very best value for money luxury holidays. Nearly all the luxury hotels in the Far East feature first class spas and are set on some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Far East luxury holidays also offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy a twin centre holiday visiting the exciting cities of Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or Singapore.
