What holiday places do you consider to be 'posh?'

[poshsnobtwit]

Apologies for the sort of TAAT, but the Caribbean thread got me thinking. I know this can be very subjective too, but what holiday destinations would you immediately think of as 'posh', as in exclusive and for wealthy people?

Bora Bora
Tahiti
Monte Carlo
Zermatt

Specific resorts - not places. Golden Eye in Jamaica, Sandy Lane in Barbados, Sixth Senses anywhere, 4 seasons Whistler etc

Oooh I'm going to Padstow next week. I'll pop a plum in my gob now

where do I sign?? 😍🤣

From someone who lives in Cornwall. Everything is extortionately priced, especially for the locals, it's holiday prices all year round for us but it's definitely not "posh" here. Especially because we have a huge poverty issue, as a result of the horrendous tourist prices and some of the lowest average earnings in the country, the majority of our towns are so run down.

Switzerland is insanely expensive

Marbella isn't posh 🤣🤣 I've been

Expensive does not mean posh

Switzerland
The Hamptons
The Bahamas
St Tropez

I think of it as an early 90s gap year destination.

Oooo and Monte Carlo

Gstaad

Obviously the answer to all Cornwall's problems is to put a stop to all tourism immediately.

@Mrsjayy
Goa is certainly not posh.
The exact opposite.

Haven

Nowhere specifically, well going to Antarctica is expensive i suppose but not necessarily posh. There's posh hotels but the location it's self doesn't mean it's fancy

For those saying Goa. Have you been?

Yes - definitely Lake Como.

@Pinkbonbon

Hawaii isn't posh, it's where west coast Americans go for holidays, no more than going to Italy from the U.K. perhaps. Bali is another place that's posh from the U.K. due to airfares but from Australia it's Benidorm down under.

Oh and lake como, beautiful but not posh unless you stay somewhere expensive, stay on the east side and it's an affordable option

I recently went to the Caribbean on a work trip and everyone in Business Class was going to St Barts.

Antibes isn't push either, yes yachty types but plenty of affordable hotels, it was cheaper than Nice when I went 2 years ago, I was on my way to Lake Como which was £80 a night!

Wealthy people tend to have multiple holidays. So yes to Cornwall etc. But also yes to skiing and longhaul. As well as granny's rambling pile in the country.

Salcombe is full of self entitled people who are very important (and they want you to know it), have to have a good time (pressure!), drive cars badly on Devon lanes without knowing car width or how to reverse.

Soho farmhouse
Expensive resorts in Greece / Spain / Portugal e.g Eloubda, Sani, martinhal
Cornwall e.g Padstow. Also Salcombe.
Parents second home in South of France.
Or second home of their own in a nice place in UK.
