We all need a break away from time to time and a chance to recharge our batteries, refresh our minds and switch off from our daily routines. Whether it’s a tropical trip to the Maldives or a historic visit to London, going on a vacation has numerous benefits. It’s certainly worth spending that bit extra to secure a luxurious location, too.

The options are endless as the luxurious offerings from around the globe improve. In the modern world, the catalogue of worthwhile vacation destinations for those of us who prefer luxury has expanded. The likes of the Caribbean has grown in popularity, alongside numerous resorts in Asia, plus other destinations such as Dubai and Scotland, therefore making the high life achievable on virtually every continent.

The best hotels around the world are already getting booked up as people are desperate for a holiday in 2020. Many of the top hotels aren’t always unaffordable either, especially in certain parts of the world. It’s hardly like you have to play and win a game based on the hit show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire or earn millions to enjoy a taste of the high life. Many top hotels aren’t out of reach, that’s for sure, especially in countries known to be cheaper than other destinations.

To help provide you with some vacation inspiration, we have picked four cracking spots that put relaxation to the fore:

Four Seasons Napa Valley

Napa is known to have some of the best food and wine on the planet, which is why people flock there to give it a taste. If that sounds like a bit like you, then staying in a top location alongside some excellent local produce is highly recommended, especially if it’s Four Seasons in Napa Valley. With 85 superb villas to choose from, a wonderful swimming pool, an excellent restaurant, and the option of having your own private terrace, it’s a great option. On top of this, wine lovers can explore the resort’s organic vineyard and partake in some winemaking lessons and grape-to-glass tasting.

Rosewood Sao Paulo

Brazil is a popular destination for many travellers, largely because of its beautiful beaches, vibrant culture and it’s delicious cuisine, but also because it’s a country capable of providing real luxury, especially at Rosewood Sao Paulo. The hotel is unusual but stunning to look at (it’s the work of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvelle), it has 151 rooms, 122 stunning residential suites, two restaurants, a hotel bar and caviar lounge, alongside the option of indulging in some retail therapy thanks to the hotel’s high-end shopping. You can also enjoy its two swimming pools, fitness area and spa, and even a music studio.

Alaia Belize

An up and coming option for many holidaymakers, Belize is a stunning part of the world. The island of Ambergris Caye, which is the largest island off the coast of the Central American country, is home to Alaia Belize, an amazing resort. It features a brilliant beachfront Beach Club, a rooftop Pool Terrace, numerous events to enjoy, and the option of going diving in one of the best spots on the globe. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and the Great Blue Hole are on most divers’ bucket lists.

Arctic Bath, Harads 

It’s a dream for many of us to experience the Northern Lights in Lapland? If you are lucky enough to make the trip, then you can’t really beat staying at the Arctic Bath, which is tucked away in Harads (Swedish Lapland). A sustainable hotel and spa, it’s a location that oozes luxury thanks to its amazing design which was inspired by branches floating down a river. There’s six floating cabins, wonderful spas and saunas, and delicious local cuisine served up. A hotel focussed on wellness; it’s a real treat.
