If you’re lucky enough to have some free time on your hands this year, it's important that you spend it wisely. For example, while it may be tempting to invest this energy into your work, hobbies can be just as beneficial as a few extra hours at your desk.

After all, hobbies are good for both our mental and physical health and can also help us to develop a wide range of transferable skills. Beyond this, they can help you to forge strong relationships and friendships with other hobbyists. 

With that in mind, here are three luxurious hobbies that you may want to try out this year! 

Horse Riding.

Horse riding is not only one of the most expensive hobbies in the world but also one of the most thrilling. Whether you’re entering yourself (and your four-legged companion) into competitions or riding for the joy of it, there are many benefits associated with horse riding or caring for a horse.

For example, it's a great way to boost your cardiovascular health and core strength and could even become a way to facilitate healthy weight loss, with a recent study finding that “riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories.” 

Flying.

Everyone loves the view from the sky, but that view becomes even more beautiful when you’re the person in the captain’s seat! If you have a keen love of adventure, then why not take to the skies this year? 

Of course, it's worth noting that this hobby will require a significant investment of your time, money, and energy. For example, you’ll have to first enrol in flying lessons in order to get your pilot's licence. If purchasing your own aircraft, you’ll also have to be able to cover any expenses that come with this, such as 

aircraft engine oil.

However, this is a hobby that is well worth the investment and training - especially when you get to take off into the open air and soar through the sky.

Golfing.

If you’re looking for a hobby that’s a little more lowkey but still luxurious, you cannot go wrong with golfing. After all, golfing on a regular basis comes with many benefits, even if you are not yet playing at a competitive level. For example, many studies have found that it’s great for your mental health, providing you with a healthy outlet for your emotions and a break from the chaos of everyday life.

If you are seriously considering taking up golfing, you should become a member of your local golf club. Not only will this give you access to golf courses, but you’ll also become part of a community of golfers. Beyond this, upon becoming a member, you may also gain access to a wide range of luxury amenities, such as pool or spa facilities. After all, there’s nothing better way to relax after a round of golf than spending time in the spa or sauna!
