And yes, they do exist: Ways to enjoy the luxury max on vacation on any budget. With these tips you can afford more luxury on vacation:
Activate search radar
There are now numerous apps in which you can activate your preferences. This way, you are immediately informed as soon as a special deal for your dream destination or desired luxury resort is available. Tip: Also like to select nearby neighboring locations as a departure point, these can often be cheaper.
Be flexible
The more spontaneous you are, the better bargains you can get. Especially in the low season you can save on travel and accommodation. Plus: If you choose untypical arrival and departure days, you can often save a lot here.
Organize transport
Especially with the transport you can save a lot. Here too, the early booking trick applies: check tickets and rental car before departure. This way you can arrive stress-free and relaxed. Even during your holiday you should use public transport - that way you feel like a local.
Free insider tips
Speaking of locals, just because you want luxury doesn't mean you have to miss out on cool things to do. Almost everywhere you go, free tours with locals are offered - and they're happy to share their local knowledge and give away hot insider tips. Local apps also provide information about new hotspots and current events. Even on holiday, talking brings people together.
Save accommodation
