Top Travel Trends for 2026

In 2026, travel trends are leaning into authenticity and connection. Multigenerational trips are on the rise, with families prioritising quality time and shared experiences. Countryside escapes are gaining traction as travellers seek hidden gems away from busy hotspots, favouring nature and tranquillity.

Demand is growing for unique lodgings with charm and character — think historic villas, converted farmhouses and boutique retreats — where the accommodation itself becomes part of the experience, offering depth, narrative and a sense of place, the likes of which hotels cannot match.

Multigenerational Travel

More and more families are prioritising meaningful time together over material gifts. With remote work and flexible schooling now common, extended families are embracing shared experiences in private villas—offering space, comfort and connection in one place. It’s travel that strengthens bonds across generations.

Island Hopping

Driven by growing demand for immersive, multi-location travel, travellers are seeking flexible itineraries, eco-conscious transport options, and authentic cultural experiences. Coastal archipelagos like the Cyclades, Dalmatian Coast, and Caribbean are trending, offering seamless connectivity and diverse island charm.

Out of the Ordinary Stays

Check out this collection of whimsical stays that are full of character and unexpected delights. From castles to chapels and treehouses to converted jets (yes really!), each of these unusal homes has a story to tell. Ideal for those who value originality as much as comfort, these unique stays make every trip feel truly personal.

Super Luxe Getaways

Elevate every moment with our Luxe Collection, a glimmering portfolio of handpicked villas that define high-end living. Think seamless design, standout service and breathtaking settings – these exceptional homes offer a refined escape for travellers who expect nothing less than extraordinary.

Rural Retreats

Travellers are seeking countryside retreats for their sense of space, stillness and authenticity. Escaping crowded cities, guests are drawn to slower living, local food, and nature-led experiences. Private homes in rural settings offer privacy without isolation—ideal for rest, reconnection, and a more grounded, meaningful kind of luxury.

Winter Sun

Escape the bleak of winter and head south for some much-needed heat, sunshine and good fun. With villas across the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, you’ll be spoilt for choice in endless summer locations. Even the islands of the Med will surprise you with mild climes and quiet vibes in the off-season.
