Dubai: Glitz, glamour and all-round extravagance
It’s here that you’ll find the towering Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world – and see a myriad of luxury supercars cruising the streets
Dubai has long been associated with the utmost in opulence and is awash with extravagant shopping malls adorned with gold and next-level hotels that are home to some of the most impressive suites in the world.
It’s here that you’ll find the towering Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world – and see a myriad of luxury supercars cruising the streets. A stay at the incredible Atlantis the Palm is something that should be at the top of every jet-setter’s bucket list. Whilst you’re there, book yourself a few nights at the plush Burj al Arab too, where guests can enjoy Michelin-starred fine dining cuisine and the most exclusive of experiences, from helicopter rides to luxury superyacht charters.
There’s nowhere better in the world to indulge in a spot of designer shopping, either, and the place to head to for the ultimate spree is the iconic Dubai Mall – the largest in the world and packed with high-end shops and boutiques. It brings new meaning to the concept of shopping until you drop, and once you’re done, you’ll almost certainly need to make your way to one of the city’s many opulent spas for some much needed rest and relaxation.
The Maldives: Rest and relaxation in paradise
If you’re craving sun, sea, sand and all-out luxury, then look no further than the Maldives
If you’re craving sun, sea, sand and all-out luxury, then look no further than the Maldives. Made up of over 1,000 low-lying islands, many are home to private five-star resorts that attract celebrities and high-net-worth individuals from across the globe with their pristine white-sand beaches, decadent fine dining scenes and opulent spas and villas.
The level of privacy resorts in the Maldives offer is unmatched, with each set on its own private island so that the only visitors are hotel guests – and with many resorts offering private butlers for the duration of your stay, you can be sure you’ll be left wanting for nothing.
When it comes to paradisiacal destinations, it truly doesn’t get much better. Think private beaches fringed by swaying palms, with the most crystalline of waters lapping the shores.
There’s a plethora of colourful marine life to be discovered if you’re a keen snorkeller or scuba diver, too, with some of the best coral reefs in the world found here.
Check in at Atmosphere Kanifushi, Coco Bodhu Hithi or Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru for the ultimate relaxing break – or, if you have designs on one of the most impressive overwater villas for maximum privacy and exclusivity, Soneva Fushi or the St Regis Maldives Vommuli should top your list.
Las Vegas: Bright lights and high-stakes gambling
For the world’s high rollers, Las Vegas still remains the top destination and is awash with spectacular casino resorts offering opulent suites and truly next-level amenities
For the world’s high rollers, Las Vegas still remains the top destination and is awash with spectacular casino resorts offering opulent suites and truly next-level amenities.
It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve experienced the bright lights of Sin City; it never gets old. And as Vegas continues to reinvent itself, there’s nowhere better for a break centred around extravagance and excess in 2025.
According to the experts at casinos.com, Caesars Palace and the Bellagio are still as iconic choices as ever, with the former known for its Roman-inspired design and the latter for its famous dancing fountains.
Both resorts boast some of the largest casino floors in the world, with an impressive array of table games and slots to choose from and high-stakes gameplay available in their sought-after VIP poker rooms – as well as restaurants headed up by celebrity chefs and extensive designer shopping malls on-site.
For somewhere a little less obvious to spend your stay, try the chic and modern Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas or the sophisticated Aria Resort and Casino, both of which offer the same sort of VIP experience and exude a trendy, contemporary vibe.
