11 Dec The best trips in the world for 2023
When we think about the best trips in the world for 2023. We are not only thinking about luxurious places to travel to but also about destinations. That provides that extra something that we need after the acid test that has been the pandemic.
Beyond enjoying exclusive villas and luxury pools, 2020 has given us time to think about what kind of travelers we want to be.
At Nuevos Destinos by Mara, we want to offer you more ecological and sustainable luxury trips. Without giving up the luxury that characterizes us, it is everyone’s responsibility to take care of our environment.
For this reason, when we think of the best trips in the world, we want to go one step further. They are spectacular destinations and incredible hotels. But they are also committed to caring for the environment and traveling in the most responsible way possible.
Places that work with renewable energy and that teach us that if we all do our part we can face climate change. All this, how could it be otherwise, without losing the personalization and creation of tailor-made trips that characterize us?
Portugal
Our neighbors have some of the best castles to sleep in, with enviable care for their cultural and natural heritage.
With great virgin beaches and monumental cities like Évora, Porto, or Lisbon, traveling to Portugal is always a success. Deciding what to see in Portugal is what is going to cost you the most work. Too many options to choose from!
Hotels like the Six Senses Douro Valley also offer the chance to experience the entire process of creating wine. From seeing the vineyards on the terrace from a covered and heated pool to visiting the winery or having a first-rate gastronomic experience.
In addition, as a member country of the European Union and with a vaccination schedule similar to ours, it is one of the places that offer the most guarantees in the post-COVID world. Both to be able to travel and to do so with all the necessary security measures.
Japanese
If there is a country that has always been characterized by its search for innovation, that is Japan. In communion with tradition, luxury hotels in Japan have been pioneers in seeking new solutions that allow maximum well-being to be combined with respect for the environment, especially if we leave the big cities.
Going to a luxury onsen ryokan like Konansou in Fujikawaguchiko to enjoy classic Japanese hospitality and hot spring baths on their private terraces overlooking Fuji is a no-brainer.
2020 was going to be the year of Japan for the Olympics. But the pandemic brought the closure of borders and their transfer to 2021. In the year 2022, Japan opened its borders, ready to make up for a lost time. Offering unique experiences in one of the places with the most authentic culture in the world. In 2023 tourism will already have resumed normality.
Bhutanese
Among all the best trips in the world for 2023, the one in Bhutan is the most different. Bhutan is called the land of happiness because it is the only country in the world that measures Gross Inner Happiness, the most important measure for them, even having its own monastery.
For the Bhutanese, reserving their ancestral way of life is essential, so tourism is heavily restricted. There are very few places for visitors each year, it is an expensive destination and you cannot travel on your own, but you must travel with an agency.
Once there, everything will be closed: restaurants, hotels, visits, excursions, drinks, etc… not having to pay more than the price in advance. In this way, Bhutan has managed to avoid the crowds of other nearby places such as Nepal, and preserve its way of life.
In addition, all tourism and accommodation are eco-sustainable. Respecting an enviable natural environment such as the peaks and valleys of the Himalayas.
Among all the accommodation options, Amankora offers five lodges with which to make a fantastic route through Bhutan. The most luxurious way to travel to the most traditional Buddhist country on the planet and soak up a much simpler way of seeing life, in which being happy is the ultimate goal.
Bali
Luxury hotels in Bali are another example of sustainability. While the island is one of the most important tourist destinations in Asia, luxury hotels have specialized in places that are not very accessible, between tropical forests, rice fields, small coves, and cliffs.
Traveling to Bali is discovering the only Indonesian island that has managed to maintain its Hindu culture, creating unique festivals and temples throughout the world. A place where the locals are in communion with nature.
Plataran Menjangan at the western end of the island, within the West Bali National Park, is a perfect option to get to know this unknown luxury Bali. A place that can only be reached by boat, completely isolated and in the middle of nature.
A hotel where luxury and respect for the environment go hand in hand. This a unique opportunity to relax and enjoy different activities knowing that you are contributing to the care of one of the most inhospitable and beautiful National Parks on the planet.
Mexico
We talked about Mexico in our post about the best luxury New Year’s Eve getaways and it is one of the few that did not close its borders in 2020. It has remained open as a safe destination, especially outside the cities.
In this case, for the same reason, going to resorts located in natural areas is a good option. It allows you to travel without risk and enjoy the beauty of one of the most exciting countries in America.
On the Pacific coast, Bayan Tree Cabo Marqués is one of the best hotels to achieve this. Beauty, relaxation, ocean views, and a completely eco-sustainable approach.
