With higher trip custom travel planning in luxury exploration, we mean something different than backpacking in hotels. We are really talking about places that offer a lot more for your money, without you ever having to settle on comfort, style or being unique. In 2025, you’ll find a selection of ten amazing places where enjoying luxury doesn’t have to break the bank and all in our four favorite places: Australia, New Zealand, Iceland and Europe.
- Lisbon, Portugal
Great boutique hotels, fantastic restaurants and outstanding coastal views are available in Lisbon, plus everything costs only a fraction of what you’d pay in Paris or London. This city attracts those who like European class, but don’t have a big budget.
- Queenstown is the name of a town in New Zealand.
Because it’s known for adventurous sports, Queenstown is also recognized for its beautiful scenery and luxury accommodations. You will find many good deals for stays by the lake and tours to Milford Sound in the off-peak months of 2025.
- Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is an amazing place for those seeking modest luxury on a budget. Enjoy Austria’s thermal spas, the famous architecture and the best food, with half the price of what people pay in larger European cities.
- Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania is the perfect place for people seeking fancy meals, lovely scenery and trendy places to stay. Those looking for luxury can get more for their money at eco-lodges and with tours in the Caribbean than at the same types of places in the mainland countries.
- Kotor, Montenegro
The glamour and beauty of the Mediterranean are at Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast and best of all, you won’t find huge crowds here. Choose to stay at rebuilt villas, go sailing by fjord-like bays and have seafood with a wonderful view.
- South Island is located in New Zealand.
Check out the glacial lakes, spend the night at alpine lodges and try out some vineyard experiences in the South Island. It is common to get big discounts on top hotels in the shoulder seasons, even though the quality or services remain the same.
- Reykjavik, Iceland
Although Iceland gets costly, skilled tourists manage to go during the best times. By 2025, luxury tourists will be able to book stays in exciting places (with geothermal spas and glacier domes) at good prices if they plan in advance or go during the off-season.
- Valencia, Spain
A place that combines high-class beaches with a long cultural history. Taste delicious food, rent a private yacht and take morning walks by art along the sea, all with savings from Barcelona.
- Blue Mountains is found in Australia.
Adjacent to Sydney, the Blue Mountains are a great place for refined retreats. A trip can include boutique hotels, private canyoning and spas in the bush to enjoy a peaceful experience that is affordable and luxurious.
- Kraków, Poland
There is a mix of history and modern comfort in Kraków. You can visit private castles, shop in top designers shops and dine in elegant restaurants at affordable prices.
