Top 5 Luxury Lifestyle and Travel Management Trends Family Offices Need to Know

Imagine swimming with dolphins or sipping champagne in space. Luxury travel is evolving fast, especially for wealthy families. As we approach vacation season, let’s explore five exciting trends in luxury travel and lifestyle management based on insights from Benjamin Vaschetti, co-founder of Maison Benjamin.

What You Should Know
Luxury travel is no longer just a dream. Families can now explore remote places, like Antarctica, and even go to space.

After the pandemic, many wealthy families are seeking private vacation spots that offer luxury but still feel homely. Some want to connect with others who share interests like fine wines and art.

Traditional concierge services are still vital. Personalized services are essential for enhancing these unique experiences.

Benjamin Vaschetti, who has worked in Michelin-starred kitchens and traveled with the Greek royal family, started Maison Benjamin with his wife Natalia. They offer custom travel and lifestyle services to high-net-worth individuals. Here are five trends they see shaping the future of luxury travel.

Exploring New Frontiers
Space travel is becoming a reality thanks to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. New companies, like Space Perspective, are making it accessible for everyday people. Passengers can take a six-hour flight to the edge of space, sipping champagne while enjoying breathtaking views of Earth.

Bucket Lists in the Making
Many people want to check items off their bucket lists. For nature lovers, it could mean seeing wild lions or relaxing on a pristine beach. Skiing in the Swiss Alps or witnessing the Northern Lights in Iceland might attract snow enthusiasts.

For adventures beyond the usual, the White Desert offers luxurious stays where guests can walk with emperor penguins and try ice climbing. Vaschetti believes crafting these experiences is like art, turning dreams into reality.

Home Away from Home
The pandemic changed how wealthy individuals travel. Many now prefer soothing getaways that provide the comforts of home. Secluded residences with hotel-like services allow families to relax and reconnect, enjoying both privacy and luxury.

Community and Connection
In contrast to the isolation of the pandemic, many now value community. Exclusive events that bring people together over shared interests, like wine and gourmet food, have gained popularity. For example, the C3llar Wine Society hosts private dinners and tours in famous wine regions, creating lasting connections.

Classic Concierge Services
Personal concierge services are irreplaceable. For private families, these services make life easier, providing everything from travel arrangements to access to exclusive events. They add a touch of personalization and convenience to everyday life.
