The Best Luxury Holiday Destinations for 2011

Here is my selection of the best luxury holiday destinations of 2011

Antigua- One of the more undiscovered regions of the Caribbean, the British over seas colony of Antigua offers unspoiled luxury to the enlightened travellers who find their way here. Amongst the sailing community the secret has been out about Antigua for many years, the island represents one of the Caribbean's most popular sailing destinations. With the establishment of a luxury new resort in Nonsuch Bay, the future for the island's tourist industry looks very bright. Boasting a fascinating colonial and pre-colonial history Antigua is an excellent place to enjoy a luxury holiday in 2011. A short ferry ride or flight from the main island is the even more remote Barbuda, making Antigua a twin island nation. Barbuda is an excellent place to spend a day trip or a few nights in complete seclusion.

New Zealand- With filming for the much anticipated Hobbit films set to get under way later in the year and the Rugby World Cup coming to town in September there is already a buzz around New Zealand, which in any circumstance still represents one of the most beloved tourist destinations in the world. Boasting an incredible natural geography from snowy peaks to pristine beaches, dramatic fjordland to open plains New Zealand is a truly wonderful place to holiday or honeymoon in 2011. If you can try to fit in a tour of both the North and South Islands as despite being a unified nation both these regions express a distinct identity. Dine and shop in the fashionable restaurants of Auckland, lounge on the sands of Cathedral Cove and perhaps for those more adventurous individuals how about s pot of glacier climbing, zorbing (rolling downhill in a huge plastic ball), bungee jumping or even sky diving.

Estonia- Tallinn along with the neighbouring city of Turku in Finland have been named joint capitals of culture for 2011 in Europe. Although perhaps not everyone's first choice when it comes to a luxury holiday the beauty and romance of Estonia has been too long overlooked. The smallest of the Baltic states bust boasting incredibly quaint and charming seaside communities, extensive forests and woodland intermitted with ancient castles and grand manors Estonia is one of Europe's great hidden secrets. Populated by a friendly and hard working people, Estonians will welcome you with open arms to their country and make your stay an unforgettable one.

Zimbabwe- Despite all of the well publicised troubles in the not so distant past, tourists are beginning to slowly but surely return to Zimbabwe. This trend is a testament to the country's beguiling beauty and incredible natural diversity. Home to the world famous Victoria Falls as well as some of the best opportunities for spotting wildlife in Africa Zimbabwe could soon be climbing back to its rightful position as one of Africa's premier safari destinations. Centrally located Zimbabwe is in the perfect position to accommodate a twin centre holiday, with tourists perhaps spending several nights here and then moving on to a separate location perhaps in South Africa, Botswana or Zambia.
