We all have heard the term “quiet luxury” and in a world of over the top mega resorts, sometimes we just all need a little refined peace and quiet. Departing from ostentatious displays of wealth, this trend celebrates the understated elegance, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful simplicity that epitomize true luxury. And some of the best destinations scream (or perhaps we should say whisper) quiet luxury in the best way. Here are our top destinations for a quiet luxury travel vacation this year.
Nantucket
Just off the coast of Massachusetts, Nantucket is a summer vacation dream. Nantucket’s timeless charm, stunning beaches, and rich maritime history are just a few excuses to hop over to this cute little island getaway. If you are looking for the ultimate in WASP-on-vacay-vibes, the White Elephant is a must.
London
Experience the vibrant tapestry of cultures, history, and innovation in London this summer, where iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace await. Immerse yourself in the bustling streets, eclectic culinary scene, and world-class museums for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of England’s capital. For a luxe place to stay, check out the Carlton Tower in Knightsbridge. A swift weekend escape teeming with retail therapy, pampering spa indulgence, and opulent leisure awaits those who book a room at the Carlton Tower Jumeirah in Knightsbridge.
Cannes
Cannes is one of our all-time favorite destinations and should be on your summer bucket list 2024. We go every year (and hopefully a few times each year!) and there is so much to discover each time. There is a reason this has been a jetset destination for decades, the glamorous shopping, stunning beaches and perfect weather is just what we all deserve during a summer holiday. So add Cannes to your list to live out your Med summer dreams.
Scotland
Scotland, and particularly the Gleneagles Hotel, stands as a testament to a century of legendary hospitality. In 1924, the hotel opened its doors and was immediately hailed as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’
