What's Hot for 2024

Be inspired by our pick of what's hot for 2024 in luxury travel. These are the latest trending travel destinations based on our market research and inside knowledge.

This year

2024 is the year of meaningful moments. Journeys will be defined by authentic, nostalgic and intimate travel experiences shared with loved ones. In a post-pandemic world, the feeling that life is too short means once-in-a-lifetime trips are no longer put on hold - ‘someday’ has become today. A myriad of new flight routes, exciting hotel openings and natural phenomena are firmly placing these trending destinations on the “must-see” map. As always, our team of travel experts are on hand to craft an unforgettable journey for you.

France

This year, France's allure is unparalleled, hosting the 2024 Olympics and voted the #1 destination on travellers’ wish lists in Scott Dunn's annual guest survey. Whether it's the glittering cityscapes, the serene countryside, or the pristine beaches, France offers an exquisite blend of culture, culinary delights, and celebration. It’s no wonder it’s a perennial favourite for luxury holidays. With 2024 marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, France is an excellent choice for history buffs who can explore the beaches of Normandy by vintage military vehicle. Whatever your interests, our specialists are poised to craft your perfect French escape, from the vibrant streets of Paris to the glamourous sundrenched Cote D’Azur.

Iceland

The call of Iceland's raw, otherworldly landscapes feels stronger than ever in 2024, with the Northern Lights promising an awe-inspiring display, as activity picks up before peaking in 2025. Our specialists are on hand to guide you to the best vantage points and the best time to visit for a chance to see the aurora. With the new EasyJet route from London Gatwick to Akureyri making this natural wonderland more accessible than ever before for travellers from the UK, there has never been a better time to visit Iceland. Beyond the famous celestial display, geysers, glaciers, and serene fjords await. The land of ice and fire is paradise for adventurers and aurora seekers alike.

Tanzania

Thanks to the country’s rolling plains, impressive national parks and abundance of wildlife, Tanzania tops many a travel wish list. These aspects combine to create unmissable safari experiences in this must-see East African destination. One of the most popular reasons to visit Tanzania is to witness the thundering herds of the Great Migration, with many lodges already fully booked for this epic annual event in 2024. Our team advises looking ahead to 2025 if you haven’t secured a spot for 2024. Beyond the Great migration, there are some exciting new additions to Tanzania’s luxury lodge scene in 2024 including Singita’s newest lodge, Milele, opening in May 2024.

Peru

Peru truly epitomises the spirit of adventure in Latin America - from the historic Inca Trail and the gastronomic delights in Lima, to the epic jungles of the Peruvian Amazon and the soaring peaks of the Andes. And with a newly launched direct flight route from London to Lima, travellers will be grabbing their chance to visit and experience the mix of rich history, culture, wildlife viewing opportunities and epic scenery. Enjoy a stay in Peru’s newest luxury camp, Puqio in the Colca Canyon, let our experts reveal the secrets of exploring Machu Picchu, and much more in 2024.

Grenada

Visit this Caribbean island and you’ll discover a destination that effortlessly combines laid-back vibes and luxurious offerings. In 2024, two new luxury properties will call Grenada home. Opening in May 2024, Six Senses La Sagesse is the resort group’s Caribbean debut while the boutique Beach House by Silversands opens doors in February. From spa retreats to water activities, Grenada offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and refined comfort, making it an ideal choice for your next escape. Explore its unspoiled beaches and immerse yourself in local culture; make 2024 the year for turquoise waters, soft sands and ocean views.

Malaysia

With the rail renaissance on the cards for travel lovers in 2024, our specialists have been on the lookout for unique train journeys for our discerning travellers. Excitingly, the Eastern & Oriental Express will make its return to the rails in 2024. Depart from Singapore and delve into the soul of Malaysia, travelling through Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and Penang, and including highlights like Pulau Payar Marine Park and Penang Island. Part of the Belmond collection, this luxurious train will transport you through Malaysia’s stunning landscapes on the utmost glamour and luxury.

India

From the colourful cities of Rajasthan to the backwaters of Kerala, it’s hard to find any other place on earth that can offer such a varied cultural journey as India. With the aim of expanding services in India, Virgin Atlantic is launching a new daily flight between London and Bangalore in March 2024, connecting more people than ever before to this incredible destination. With such a diverse range of experiences to choose from in Bangalore and beyond, specialist knowledge of the destination is essential and that's where our Travel Specialists come in.

South Korea

Finally on this year’s list, is a destination that is truly “one to watch” for Scott Dunn travellers. The “Korean Wave” effect continues with Seoul dubbed the ‘gateway to East Asia’ in 2024. A place where tradition and innovation meet, Seoul will capture your imagination with historic palaces and futuristic architecture. Beyond the capital, travellers are exploring scenic landscapes, embracing cutting-edge technology and diving into Korea’s cuisine, from sizzling street food to Michelin-starred delights.
