Summer Inspiration: The Many Ways to Travel This Season

Summer has arrived which means people are eager to get out and explore the world of travel. After years of restrictions, there are now ample opportunities to discover new places, try new experiences and embrace a sense of newfound adventure! With so much to do and with so little time on our hands, if you are like me you might be wondering how you should take advantage of the opportunity.

To answer this question, first ask yourself this: “What does travel mean to me?” There are a variety of different experiences you can have while traveling, from a relaxing Caribbean getaway with your significant other to an exciting beach excursion with the family. With so many ways to travel, it’s important to know what you’re looking for from the experience. So if you’re considering doing some traveling this summer, give this helpful guide a look for some inspiration and advice. 

Going It Alone or Bringing the Whole Family?

The first and most obvious thing you need to figure out before planning a trip is who you want to bring along. After all, solo travel is very different from a holiday with the family. There’s also a world difference between a romantic trip for two with your partner and an outdoor expedition with a good friend. All of these arrangements come with different priorities and many important considerations. 

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, there are so many possibilities. You can go with the obvious go-to spots: Paris and Venice are popular for good reason. But there are so many other places to stay: from the food and culture of Tuscany to the breathtaking alpine peaks of Switzerland. Whether you’re looking for ways to spend time with your partner outdoors or just somewhere to spend some alone time, you’re flush with options, especially with Lacure’s many villas. A couple's trip doesn’t have to be romantic either: consider traveling the streets of Amsterdam or partying in Mexico. 

If you have kids to bring with you, consider planning a luxurious family vacation on the beautiful island of Anguilla. Not only does it feature some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, but it’s also open to fantastic cultural experiences, including visits to historical sites, art galleries, and museums. The Hamptons is also a great place for a family vacation, with equal opportunities for relaxation and fun. There are several activities for all ages, from surfing lessons at Ditch Plains Beach to picnicking at Cooper’s Beach.

Then there are the people looking to travel on their own. After years of lockdown, many are feeling a bit rusty when it comes to solo travel, but the experience can still be freeing and a great opportunity to focus solely on oneself. Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands has almost anything a solo traveler could ask for: friendly locals, excellent cuisine, easily accessible transportation, and plenty of solitary activities. Of course, you can’t beat Paris, an extremely walkable city that’s ideal for individuals looking to explore on their own.

Rest and Relaxation or the Adventure of a Lifetime?

The other major factor that will likely dictate where you go for a summer trip is what specifically you’re looking to get out of the travel experience. For some, travel is all about getting a chance to unwind and escape from the daily grind. Other people are looking for excitement and adventure. Then there are those who are not just looking for peace and quiet, but a chance for introspection as well. Knowing what you want out of the travel experience goes a long way toward finding the right destination for you. 

For a relaxing getaway, island life can’t be beaten. The Caribbean is known for its beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, as is Hawaii and its breathtaking landscapes and vast beaches. If you’re looking for personal enrichment and wellness, consider a villa in Coachella Valley, California, surrounded by the refreshing scent of local verbena flowers. Of course, if you’re aiming for peace of mind, a trip to Italy is a great way to embrace dolce vita and feel more present in your surroundings. 

For the more adventurous sort, Italy is also home to a number of hot destinations. Whether it’s getting lost in the streets of Capri, or diving head first into the enchanting waters off Amalfi, Italy has an allure that keeps you wanting more. There’s also Mykonos, Greece, which offers a number of exciting options for families and individuals alike, such as water sports, beach excursions, and island tours. 

No matter why you travel or who you travel with, there is no shortage of incredible experiences out there for you. The important thing is understanding what you want from travel so that you can make the right choice for you and your loved ones. At Lacure, we have villas located around the world, with more than one sure to be tailored to your tastes. So whether you’re looking to travel solo or take the whole family, we can help you find your summer travel inspiration.
