Tap into some of the upcoming luxury travel trends with these five luxury winter 2020 getaways, inspired by Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s top travel trends insights for 2020.
More luxury travelers are demanding hotels consciously address sustainability. While many properties are removing plastic from guestrooms and hotel operations, some take efforts to protect the planet a step further. At Harbour Village Beach Club in Bonaire, this winter you can dive below the Caribbean waters to learn how to maintain the world’s coral reefs and receive your PADI certification in coral restoration.
Dispersed luxury hotels spread out the hotel experience over multiple buildings or a destination for a unique experience and a community vibe. Enzo Ango Fuya II is Japan’s first dispersed hotel. Situated in Kyoto, it’s a winter getaway set across five buildings on one street, with each building serving a different function.
