Luxury Holiday Packages – Page 20

Luxury destinations and pricing bands (per person)

Twin sharing, 5★ or equivalent, private transfers throughout, breakfast and selected experiences, including business-class or premium-economy flights from Ahmedabad where noted; excluding visa and most meals. "Ultra" is the top suite, villa or palace category.

Luxury packages on this page start around ₹60,000 per person for Udaipur or Kerala at 5★ level with private transfers. Business-class flights from Ahmedabad add roughly ₹60,000–1,00,000 per person to South-East Asia and the Gulf and ₹2,00,000–3,50,000 to Europe or Australia; we quote both cabins so you can decide.

The experiences worth paying for

• Udaipur: a palace hotel on or beside Lake Pichola, a private boat to dinner at Jag Mandir, a curated walk through the City Palace before public hours, and a day at Kumbhalgarh with a picnic. Add two nights at a Jawai leopard camp with private jeep drives.
• Kerala: a private-pool villa on Vembanad lake, a luxury houseboat with a chef and an upper-deck lounge, a Munnar tea-estate bungalow with its own staff, and an Ayurveda programme designed by a resort doctor rather than a menu.
• Maldives: an over-water villa with a private pool and direct lagoon access, a seaplane arrival, a private sandbank dinner, a sunset dolphin cruise on a private dhoni, and an all-inclusive plan that actually includes the premium restaurants.
• Dubai: a Palm Jumeirah suite, a helicopter tour, a private yacht evening from Dubai Marina, a desert resort night with falconry and stargazing, At.mosphere or a private table for the fountain show, and a personal shopper at Dubai Mall.
• Bali: a cliff-top villa at Uluwatu or a jungle villa in Ubud with a butler and private chef cooking Gujarati and Jain meals, a private Nusa Penida charter, and a spa day at one of the island's destination spas.
• Europe: first-class Swiss rail with a lake-view hotel in Lucerne, a private Lake Como boat, a Venice water-taxi arrival, a Tuscan villa with a cook, a Paris palace hotel and a private Louvre guide, and a Michelin dinner that can accommodate pure-veg.
• Seychelles: a private-island or hillside villa, a helicopter transfer from Mahé, a chartered catamaran day around La Digue and Praslin.
• Australia: a harbour-view suite in Sydney, a reef island resort with a private helicopter transfer and a scenic reef flight, a Yarra Valley or Barossa estate stay, and a Great Ocean Road drive in a chauffeured car.

Private transfers, concierge and how we work

• One consultant, one number: a senior consultant handles your file from the first call to your return, and is reachable on WhatsApp at any hour. No call centres.
• Private transfers everywhere: a chauffeured sedan, SUV or luxury van at Ahmedabad airport, at the destination and between cities. Meet-and-greet and fast-track immigration are arranged where airports offer them (Dubai, Singapore, Malé, Bangkok, Colombo).
• Dining notes travel ahead of you: pure-veg, Jain, no-onion-garlic, allergy and timing notes go to every hotel and villa chef in writing before arrival; we also book the Indian and vegetarian-friendly fine-dining tables that are hard to get.
• Room and villa guarantees: we confirm the exact category – lake-facing, over-water with pool, corner suite – and the view, not "subject to availability".
• On-trip concierge: restaurant reservations, a last-minute helicopter, a private guide for a museum, a doctor, a pharmacy run, a changed flight – handled by us while you continue your holiday.
• Documentation: we prepare and submit visa applications, arrange premium travel insurance, forex and international roaming or eSIMs; approval of any visa is at the embassy's discretion, so we start early.
• Discretion: no itinerary is shared with anyone outside your family and the hotels that need it.

Luxury travel for HNI families and corporate groups

Two kinds of group bookings make up a large share of our luxury work from Ahmedabad:

• Extended family celebrations: a 25th anniversary in Udaipur with a palace buyout for 40, a 60th birthday in a Bali villa estate, a family reunion in the Maldives across six villas. Extended families travel together as a private group on their own dates; we block the rooms, build a shared itinerary with private options for each household, and arrange Gujarati and Jain catering, a photographer and event décor.
• Corporate incentives and leadership retreats: dealer incentive trips to Dubai, Thailand, Bali and Europe; leadership offsites in Udaipur, Kerala or Bhutan; board meetings in a Maldives resort. We handle venue sourcing, gala dinners, team activities, branding, group visas and a Vibrant Holidays operations manager on the ground for the whole programme, with a single consolidated invoice.

Typical corporate programmes run 15–150 people; family celebrations 20–60. For both, we present three costed options at different hotel tiers before anything is booked.

Pure-veg and Jain dining at luxury hotels

The best resorts in the world will cook Jain food correctly – if they are told early and specifically. We send a written brief (no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, no eggs, timing preferences) to each property's executive chef two weeks before arrival, confirm it on the day, and choose properties with a record of doing it well. In Udaipur, Kerala and Kashmir this is routine; in Dubai, Singapore, Bali and Thailand many 5★ hotels have Indian chefs; in the Maldives, Seychelles and Europe we pre-select the resorts and restaurants that have done it for our clients before. For villas with private chefs in Bali, Kerala and Tuscany we can also send a Gujarati menu and ingredient list in advance.
