While the juxtaposition might be ridiculous, there are actually affordable luxurious activities that you can definitely try at least once in your life. Of course, these activities do not involve private jets or private islands, but these will surely let you experience the glitz and glamor life without breaking the bank. After all, it’s not a crime to spend a little fortune when upgrading your comfort and pleasure once in a while.
1. Wine Tour
If you ever find yourself traveling to cities like New York, California, or Paris, do not forget to include a wine tour in your itinerary. Not only is it a fancy experience, but it is also an educational one. You’ll get to know more about how wines are made and get to tour the vineyards/wineries. Nothing screams fancy than having fun with a glass (or glasses) of wine. Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite wine while you’re at it!
2. Yacht Party
Another activity that seems intimidating but is actually budget-friendly is throwing a yacht/boat party. Depending on how many hours you want, you can rent out a yacht for as low as $200. Sounds like a good deal, right? Carolina Marine Group says that more and more people are now discovering the value for money in these boat cruises. You get a private party with your friends, play your own music and drink your own booze while marveling at the magnificent sunset. Oh, and did we mention how Instagram-worthy it is?
3. Five-Star Hotel Stay
Okay, this might take quite a dip in your account, but splurging for such an experience can be worth it. Find someone who can share an overnight room with you so that the expenses won’t be too overwhelming. Whether you wanna live the California dream in The Peninsula Beverly Hills or look at the Manhattan view from your Baccarat Hotel room, make sure that you make the most out of the amenities and the entire experience!
4. Private Photoshoot
Who says photoshoots are just for celebrities? If you’re traveling to a city like New York, you’ll be surprised how many private photoshoots are available for you. Is there anything fancier than exploring Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge with a professional photographer taking your shots?
5. Fancy Restaurant Dinner
It’s time to treat your taste buds with some gastronomic luxury. If you’re celebrating something special, you might want to up the party a notch by swapping cheeseburgers with fancy steak covered in 24-karat gold leaf or some Ossetra caviar. It’s not every day that you get to try these, so make sure you savor all the flavor!
Luxury may not come as often as we want it to, but splurging once in a while for yourself is something that you should not feel guilty about – especially if you are paying for an experience. Pay for activities that you know you will enjoy and will leave great memories for you. However, remember that trying these luxurious activities is only meant when you have some extra!
