The ultimate ways to combine adventure and luxury

Luxury is a much overused term, one travelers luxury is another’s ordinary. Steve Allen in 'A Luxury Travel Blog' says ''True luxury is a great travel experience, enjoyed in relative comfort''.

When we think of luxury vacations, 'adventure' is not normally the first image our mind congers. We picture exquisite villas, crystal clear waters and white sands, exclusive locations and mostly relaxation. Here at Amazon Creek we believe in combining luxury and adventure for the ultimate vacation experience. 

Offering an exclusive concierge service to help our clients build an entirely bespoke vacation has seen us gain many years experience in combining luxury and adventure. We want to share our top tips on how to incorporate an element of luxury into your next vacation! Whether you go all out for the ultimate luxury of an Amazon Creek luxury Chalet, Villa or Yacht vacation or use our guide to incorporate an element of luxury into your next adventure we have you covered!

Massage Treatments

Whether you are planning an action packed family vacation or a vacation tailored around your favourite sport, massage can be the perfect addition to a vacation! For many of us being able to find complete relaxation would be the ultimate luxury! What better way to get that than incorporating private massage treatments!

Our trusted massage partner 'Pure-Fix' in Chamonix says ''If you lead a busy life working and playing hard a holistic massage will achieve an improved sense of health on many levels, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You will feel renewed and ready for another day on the slopes or hiking up the mountain passes''

Choosing accommodation with private spa facilities

Gone are the days where most of us choose to stay in a hotel. Private home holidays are becoming more and more popular. Why not push the budget a little further to ensure your private holiday home has some very luxury spa facilities.

Nothing can beat a soak in the outdoor hot tub after an intense day skiing in Chamonix. Or a sauna to release all the bodies toxins after a hard day cycling the mountain roads in Corsica. Take a look at Health with Heat's blog post here on all the benefits of a Sauna. The most important for your vacation being 'stress relief'. 

We all know you never have to look far for a luxury spa experience, but surely the ultimate luxury is being able to enjoy this at home in your own time and space. Knowing that you can wind down and rejuvenate before you head out on another big adventure the next day!

A private chef

The ultimate summer adventures have to be those we can have at the beach, but we all know a day of adventure in the sun is hungry work! Enjoying water sports, scuba diving or splashing around for hours on end under the warm summer sun is fun but hard work! Here at Amazon Creek we can't think of a better way to add little extra luxury to your private villa vacation than by booking a private chef to prepare and cook a delicious BBQ for your return from the beach!

The advantages of having your own private chef for an evening (or two!) are that they will be able to tailor the menu specifically to your needs. The ultimate luxury and relaxation after a busy day filled with adventure!

Concierge Services

Take the stress out of planning your holiday by booking with a company that offers a complete pre arrival concierge service. When you are looking to book an adventure vacation with numerous activities it can take a lot of time in the planning stage. Why not enjoy the luxury of having someone do all of that for you. Once you have chosen your destination its time to choose your accommodation or holiday provider, ask upfront if they offer a concierge service to take away the stress of having to planning all the finer details of your adventure vacation.

At amazon creek our dedicated team is here to help plan all aspects of your holiday from your daily activities to your in-chalet or villa needs including wine tastings and massages, as well as restaurant reservations and taxi services. The ultimate luxury is allowing us to organise all these aspects before your arrival. Then once you arrived, simply sit back and relax knowing everything is taken care of. 

Alternatively you may consider hiring your own personal concierge services to take charge of everything for you. At London Concierge Services they describe their sole purpose as 'making your stresses ours''. Take a look at their website today to see what they have to offer and how they can add the ultimate luxury to any vacation by taking the booking and planning process completely out of your hands.
