How To Bag A Luxury Break On A Budget

• While the word luxury can mean different things
  to different people, when it comes to a luxury
  vacation or short break away, most will agree
  that only a plush hotel or resort will qualify,
  and the term budget is never usually used in
  the same sentence as the word luxury. However,
  for those of us who dream of splashing out on a
  no expenses spared vacation, but dont have the
  funds to do so, is it worth doing a little
  research to see if there any ways to get a little
  luxury while on a budget?
• Think about a luxury vacation as an experience
  rather than a destination
• If you enjoy camping but fancy a little taste of
  the high life, you might go glamping instead, and
  for regular campers with a tent and portable gas
  stove,

• this may be considered as a luxury break. While
  for others, luxury can only be defined by a
  five-star hotel or resort.
• However, most will agree that if the bed is
  comfortable, the shower is great, the food is
  something to write home about and the décor is to
  your liking, then this is enough to make you feel
  special on your vacation and as if you have
  splashed out a bit. It is entirely possible to
  feel the same way about a hotel or resort that
  doesnt cost the Earth, it just means that you
  need to be savvy about when you book it (end of
  season is a great time), be on the look out for
  cheap flights (the money you save on this can be
  put towards the hotel or resort) and dont feel
  that you have to fly thousands of miles to an
  exotic location to achieve a sense of luxury.

• Be flexible on types of accommodation
• A hotel isnt necessarily the only place that
  will give you a taste of luxury, auberges, B and
  Bs, motels and even some higher standard hostels
  may be equally as luxurious but at half the
  price. Some offer a more personal and attentive
  experience than you might get from a hotel, so
  always try to be flexible about where you will
  rest your head each night.
• Take advantage of special celebrations
• If its your honeymoon, or even your anniversary
  or birthday, its worth mentioning the fact to
  tour operators and hotels to see if they can
  offer you anything better to mark the special
  occasion.

• The phrase dont ask, dont get springs to
  mind.
• Reduce the duration of your stay
• If a vacation in a luxury hotel is likely to
  break the bank if you stay for a week, then why
  not think about a long weekend instead? If having
  a luxurious experience means that much to youand
  is more important than the length of your
  vacation, then this seems like a no brainer.
• Check out flash sales on travel websites
• If you dont mind leaving things to the last
  minute, and/or are not particular about where you
  go,

• why not check out various travel websites to see
  if theyre offering any flash sales for luxurious
  breaks away? You could end up bagging a great
  deal for a fraction of the usual price.
• Try to be as flexible as possible in your
  approach to bagging a luxury break at a budget
  price, and you just might be surprised at what
  you can achieve.
