10 Luxury Trips to Book a Year in Advance
Because the world won’t wait—make sure your dream travel plans don’t disappear.
Planning ahead isn’t just smart—it’s essential for high-demand destinations. From exclusive wilderness retreats to luxury train journeys, the most iconic experiences often fill up fast. At Travlux, we organise ahead so you can travel without compromise.
1. Costa Rica
Luxuriate in eco-lodges tucked within rainforests brimming with wildlife. From volcano hikes to tropical spa sanctuaries, this biodiverse haven runs out of capacity during peak season.
Why plan early:
High demand for top eco-resorts
Only a limited number of private tours available
Dry season (Dec–Apr) fills up fast
2. Venice Simplon‑Orient‑Express
This is luxury travel redefined—Art Deco carriages, champagne at every turn, and European magic at each stop. Gigantic demand for limited departures makes early booking vital.
Why plan early:
Limited departure dates
Luxury suites fill up quickly
Peak and festive season trips sell out fast
3. Uruguay
This South American gem offers gourmet steak dinners, serene beach lodges, and wine estates near José Ignacio. As its global reputation grows, ultra-luxury offerings book out fast.
Why plan early:
Small number of boutique properties
High season overlaps with Argentina and Brazil
Ideal for food and luxury wine aficionados
4. Vancouver Island, Canada
From bald eagle sightings to coastal rainforests, the Pacific Northwest offers hushed beauty with high-end comfort. Those memorable heli-hiking or whale-watching tours are limited in capacity.
Why plan early:
Limited lodge availability in high season
High demand for curated adventure tours
Often paired with luxury Vancouver or Rockies itineraries
5. Hokkaido, Japan
This stunning region blends Michelin-starred winter dining with natural hot springs and legendary snow. With limited five-star accommodation and soaring interest, early planning is a must.
Why plan early:
Powder-season hotels book 6–12 months ahead
Small number of luxury ski‑in suites
Growing international demand
6. Jordan
Cinematic landscapes and rich history await. Think nights under the stars in Wadi Rum, luxury glamping near Petra, and private tours of ancient ruins. With tourism ramping up, demand is high.
Why plan early:
Limited luxury tented camps
Best dates fill quickly (Oct–Apr)
Frequently paired with Israel or Egypt travel
7. Antarctica
Expedition cruising with exclusive brands like Ponant or Aurora offers once-in-a-lifetime adventure. But with strict caps on visitor numbers and cabins, advance booking is essential.
Why plan early:
Smaller high-end ships, limited space
Prime departures (Dec–Feb) sell out quickly
Environmental quotas restrict visitor access
8. Rwanda
For those dreaming of a truly unique wildlife encounter, gorilla trekking is unrivalled. With strict daily permit limits and small, luxury lodges nearby, early planning is the only way to guarantee access.
Why plan early:
Gorilla permits run out fast
Boutique jungle lodges fill quickly
Preferred trekking months demand advance booking
9. Northern Territory, Australia
This remote frontier delivers rich Indigenous culture, dramatic landscapes, and authentic luxury lodges. Permit restrictions and limited property stock make early booking essential.
Why plan early:
Restricted access to UNESCO and sacred lands
Bespoke tours require advanced coordination
Pairing with Outback itineraries needs pre-planning
10. Las Vegas, USA
Special events make Vegas as elite as it is energetic. The luxury hotel scene, VIP shows, and marquee events roar into contention well ahead of time.

Big residencies and events book rooms fast
New luxury launches like Fontainebleau fill quickly
Luxury rooms in high-demand hotels are limited
