Have you ever wondered where are all those amazing and seemingly super expensive places featuring your instagram account all the time? Let’s set something straight, some are and some are not. How can you tell? Well, it’s all about the place so let’s check the 10 most expensive vacation places in the world and see what that is all about!
1. Mykonos, Greece
Endless beaches, crystal clear waters, extremely high-end restaurants, and the dream of the Greek Summer Lifestyle in Luxury. A hot spot for partying and attracting celebrities, Mykonos is considered “the place to be,” making the drinks, the food, the seaside experience, and of course the nightlife, contribute equally to its current price status. Though the island is full of options when it comes to the cost range, there is no denying that most of the services you’ ll come across will be at quite an elevated cost, especially when it comes to the accommodation options. For example, renting a villa surpasses the amount of 20.000 euro per night, making the island worthy of its spot amongst the most expensive holiday destinations in the world and really not budget-friendly.

2. Dubai, UAE
Equivalent of man-made achievements and tourism, Dubai holds the 29th spot in the ranks of the wealthiest cities in the world and for a very good reason. Sophisticated restaurants, seaside resorts, and entertainment options are absolutely abundant in this city. A hub of growing businesses, and extreme lifestyle, Dubai is centered around luxury and exclusivity, making it one of the most expensive places in the world when it comes to vacation options. Skyscrapers with rooftop pools, high-end restaurants, and unique supercars are the norm in the Emirate of Dubai, and that is why one can only expect to pay a tad above the average vacation budget. After all, Dubai is home to the most expensive 7 Star luxury hotel Burj al Arab. Book your Dubai tour package.
3. Paris, France
The City of Romance and Culture, Paris is considered one of the most lavish cities in Europe, and you can pay quite a sum for that. Home to some of the world’s most iconic sights and attractions, exclusive wines, decadent pastries, all contribute to its fame making it one of the most popular destinations in the world. And, among the years, one of the most expensive ones in the world with an accommodation that can go up to 43.000 euros per night at the emblematic Ritz Hotel. Also known for its Fine Dining restaurants, Paris continues to draw high profile personalities and world class leaders, confirming its reputation and taking it higher by the year.
4. New York, USA
The Big Apple easily sets you up for the grand American lifestyle as the city that never sleeps. A hub for business and artists, New York City offers a great variety of landmarks to visit, classy hotels and tons of options for the aspiring foodies. Although the valid accommodation option keeps a high standard above $350 for a mid range hotel per night, keep in mind that even a sundae or a bagel can cost you $1.000, while a good steak can come up to the ratings of a stay at a luxury hotel. Now isn’t that something to think about?
5. Monaco, Principality of Monaco
Ranked as the 10th most expensive vacation destination of 2022, Monaco is a small but a quite popular getaway place for people of high social and economic status.

8. Necker Island, Virgin British Islands
As if being owned by Sir Richard Branson himself, billionaire and founder of the Virgin Group, isn’t enough, how does spending $102.500 for a day sound to make this place qualify as one of the most expensive vacation places in the world? I guess that’s more than enough. Necker Island accommodates a luxurious resort of a ten bedroom villa that can host up to 40 guests. Each one of the bedrooms has a 360-degree view and each one of the occupants has access to private pools, two beaches, a personal chef, water sports equipment and many more opulent amenities. I hope you’re not surprised to learn that even an exhibition tennis tournament, called “The Necker Cup” has been held annually ever since 2012 at the premises of the island.
