For a dream vacation, many people would want to visit somewhere exotic, peaceful, and filled with natural beauty. Perhaps an overwater bungalow resort in the Maldives or Bora Bora could fit that desire. Spending lazy days on a private deck overlooking a crystal clear lagoon, going snorkeling or scuba diving among vibrant coral reefs, and enjoying world-class amenities and dining.

For others, an adventurous dream trip might involve an African safari to see the "Big 5" wildlife up close from a jeep, staying in luxury tented camps. Or trekking through the stunning vistas of Patagonia or the Himalayas, with knowledgeable guides leading the way.

A dream foodie vacation could mean touring through regions like Tuscany, Paris, Tokyo or Oaxaca - taking cooking classes, shopping at local markets, and dining at acclaimed restaurants.

No matter what, we imagine a dream vacation involves minimizing stress with personal concierge services, private transportation, a great room with a view, and the opportunity to splurge on unique, memory-making experiences.
