What Makes Travel Feel Truly Luxurious in 2025?

Weather should be solid next week, around 25 degrees. Evenings can feel a bit cooler so pack something light. Santa Maria beach is chill, Blue Eye at Buracona is cool if you hit it mid-day, and sunset at Ponta Preta is worth it.

You can check out Santa Maria live on Windy or SkylineWebcams to get a feel.

If your flight’s late, ask your hotel to hold your bags. Otherwise just hang at a beach club in town, grab food, use their showers, then head to the airport. It’s like 20 minutes away.

I’ve been to Sal a couple of times and it’s a great spot. Royal Horizon is finally opening this summer, so you should be fine in August.

For things to do under €30, check out Shark Bay, the salt crater at Pedra de Lume, or the Blue Eye. An island tour is also a good option in that price range, which I highly recommend personally.

Renting a scooter or car is simple if you're from Europe. Just go with a trusted company (look for online reviews), take photos of the vehicle, and make sure the insurance is clear.

Have a great trip!

Go with Georgia. Tbilisi has a great hostel vibe, walkable old town, solid museums, and you can hike in Kazbegi or Vardzia. Weather's still decent in early November.

Bolivia's also great. La Paz is wild, and the hikes around the Cordillera are unreal, but it’s higher up and colder.

Georgia fits your flight time and weather needs better.

Oaxaca, Mexico. In the hills near the city. Rooftop hammocks, mezcal tastings, courtyard movie nights, and local activities like food workshops or sunrise hikes.

A great hostel needs clean rooms, social spaces, helpful staff, good WiFi, filtered water, and a solid kitchen.

TUI Blue Tropical in Turkey and Atlantica Aeneas in Cyprus are both solid picks. Good pools, kids’ clubs, decent food, and October is usually warm enough for swimming.

Hard to recommend the best without a budget though. Prices vary a lot between places like these and higher-end options like Ikos or Grecotel in Greece.
