No matter whether you’re 40,000 feet above the air crossing multiple time zones or simply heading out of town down the highway for a weekend, holidays are quite simply the best. Time to relax, hang out with friends or family, explore new things and of course, live your best carefree holiday life. We are of the opinion that a holiday is the perfect time to treat yourself (as they say) and we love to take that literally by indulging in all the treats holidays offer (fancy bakeries we’re coming for you) and also by just generally adding little touches of luxury here and there that you may not be part of your everyday life. Because when else are you going to down 12 oysters in one setting if not overlooking a beach so gorgeous it could make you cry?

Here are our tips to bring a little indulgence to your next holiday.

START ON THE RIGHT FOOT A holiday starts as soon as you water your plants and close that front door behind you. So you want to make sure you’re traveling to the airport in style and not having to rely on two different buses and a train. Silver Service offers luxurious sedans to drive you from your doorstep to the terminal without any fumbling for your public transport tickets (although please double check you have your passport at this stage). They’re a premium airport taxi service that lets you book and pay through the app.

HIGHTAIL IT TO HOTEL BARS Even if you’re actually crashing on your pal’s couch or staying in budget accommodation there are no rules that say you can’t visit the bars of luxury hotels for a slice of the good life. There will be fancy cocktails, there will be great opportunities for people-watching and there may even be complimentary snacks.

SPA DAYS! Somehow on holidays you can easily clock 20,000 steps in a day without even realising. Over time, your body can really start to feel it so clocking off for a spa treatment or a massage is a great way to let your body relax and recover, while also treating yourself to a little pampering. Would you like a hot towel? Why yes, yes I would.

GO DEAL HUNTING The best things don’t always have to cost a bomb. There are so many booking websites for hotels and other places to stay that have promotions or sales. It’s worth keeping an eye out for these in the lead up to your trip and pouncing when the price is right.
