Scrolling through Instagram it’s hard to miss the number of celebrities sharing their summer getaways (looking at you Kim K), but long gone are the days when luxury holidays were just for the rich and famous – you just need to know where to stay!
According to the InterContinental ICons research, 59% of global luxury travellers feel that tourists visiting cities around the world miss out on the best experiences. To combat this, we’ve listed a variety of luxury alternative hotspots below, where Aussie travellers can have the ultimate (and Instagrammable) villa experience from only $360AUD per night.
Would love to workshop content with you on the below, and happy to provide any additional assets, imagery or information you might require.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
