Where are all the posh, wealthy folk holidaying this year?

[Primroseoil]

I'm neither but the wealthy middle class families in the Dc's class are headed to Greece & Ibiza.
One of the families was skiing in Austria at half term, the other family skiing in the French Alps in the Easter hols.
Also they have numerous UK trips to St Ives etc during the summer..

Happy to be getting away to Spain this year. But I do get wanderlust watching where the people with money & means go!

Don't they all go to the Caribbean? Hang out on rich folks' islands together?

Most of our super posh wealthy friends don’t really travel at all as such - they just go between the various places they own. We were just talking yesterday about how badly travelled a lot of them actually are in terms of interesting destinations!! I don’t envy it at all, would rather go somewhere different fun and exciting.

I work in the holiday industry. And I would say the answer to ‘where are the wealthy holidaying this year’ is ‘all over the fucking place!’ Every flight everywhere stuff full. I don’t think ‘the wealthy’ is a lump of people who all know each other and make a plan to all go to the same place.

😍😍 That's true, when you put it that way they aren't well travelled as such, they just go on holidays!

I'd imagine all the upper class/aristo folk do. I mean the mode rich middle class who holidat a lot 😊

I know what you're saying but there is definitely trends... Eg Greece & Croatia were very popular mc destinations at one point, probably still are taking over from Sicily & the South of France....

We just came back from Greece (Peloponnese). The EasyJet plane was full of the poshest old people you could wish to meet. Linen clothes, proper hiking walking sticks, imaginative scarves, strident swearing in posh ('fack!' etc). Despite being a bit obnoxious as a group, they were obviously having the best time and seemed so happy, even when annoyed by Greek customs.

Greece in April was an absolute revelation - only ever been in August before so was completely taken aback by the sheer gloriousness of Greek springtime.

Aren’t they all obsessed by Comporta at the moment?

Caribbean, Indian Ocean, expensive villas/hotels in Europe e.g. Ikos/Sani

You said posh and wealthy? That's not middle class

There are very wealthy mc in Dc's school & who we know who aren't landed gentry or aristocratic so wouldn't class them as upper class...just middle class, posh & wealthy!

Wealthy but not posh here, I’m going to New York, Turkey and Greece this summer.

Italy

A few villages on the Isle of Wight, St.Mawes

The middle class absolutely can be both posh and wealthy.

Definitely this. The wealthy, well travelled ones in Dc's school always have a few UK weeks or weekends. Norfolk popular too.

Costa Rica seems to be the in place at the moment for the people I know.

Costa Rica would be nice!

I think they go to the Maldives, as we just got back and restaurant prices in the resort were eye watering. All in US dollars - 12 for sides like fries or veg, 35 for simple pizza, 45 for paneer dish with rice, 33 for noodles with veg and chicken. Drinks similar eg 20 for G&T, 10 for iced tea, 9 for coffee. Yikes.

What do you consider wealthy ?
we are holidaying in South east Asia this year and I don’t consider myself post / wealthy , to me the hols you’ve mentioned are typical hols destinations that many people can afford so I’d not consider them posh / wealthy.

posh wealthy is who can afford 10-15k hols without the need to save a penny

Yes, Costa Rica.

Greece in the summer.

Absolutely not Dubai, ever.

My posh friends spend the summer at their country cottages in Cornwall or the Lake District. The tend to go Longhaul to somewhere like Costa Rica or the Maldives for the two week October break. Caribbean or Skiinng Over the Christmas break. Skiing Feb half term. Skiing at Easter or the Caribbean. Europe for the May half term- South of France, Greece, Italy, Croatia, maybe a weeks sailing holiday with Mark Warner or Neilson.

I go to Barbados often and I'm certainly not posh or wealthy. You can do it for the same price as a fortnight in Greece if you search around. A few months ago I stayed in a villa with a private pool for £117 a night.

The place with the highest amount of 'posh people'I've seen is Agios Stephanos in North East Corfu.

Winter- not summer unless you own property

I am wealthy-ish. Already been to Greece this year. Got Japan, Singapore, Greece, Albania, USA booked for the rest of the year so far.

Last summer it was inter-railing in Europe. Caribbean for Christmas. Skiing feb half term -France or Switzerland. Greece - probably Mark Warner type thing - in May.
