You don’t need a five-figure budget to travel like royalty. With the right planning, the right people and the right itinerary — you can experience luxury, culture and adventure at a fraction of the price. Here are 5 destinations we love for their high-end feel and surprisingly great value.
🇿🇦 1. Cape Town, South Africa
Mountains, beaches, vineyards — Cape Town has it all. Hike Table Mountain, explore the V&A Waterfront and sip world-class wines in the Cape Winelands. And the best part? It’s one of the most affordable luxury spots in the world.
🇮🇹 2. Milan, Italy
Home of fashion, food and Renaissance treasures. Milan offers boutique hotels, design-forward cafés and cultural gems without the tourist overload.
🇦🇪 3. Dubai, UAE
Think luxury is out of reach in Dubai? Think again. SEEYA’s curated packages include desert safaris, beachfront stays and cultural tours that bring the glitz and glam with a surprisingly budget-friendly twist.
🇰🇪 4. Diani, Kenya
Where turquoise waters meet pristine white sands, Diani is the crown jewel of Kenya’s coastline. Our itineraries include luxury beach resorts, snorkeling and dolphin tours and dhow cruises — all balanced for comfort and cost.
🇨🇭 5. Lugano, Switzerland
It feels like the French Riviera with an Alpine backdrop. Lugano’s mix of Italian charm and Swiss order offers lake cruises, gourmet food and scenic serenity — all at a better value than more touristy spots.
