Best of the Best: The Early Christmas Present Only LuxPlus+ Members Unlock

Luxury Escapes’ biggest event of the year is just around the corner and the only way to get exclusive early access is with your LuxPlus+ membership.

Something big is coming and it’s not just the man in the red suit. And while you may have to brave the Christmas crowds at shopping centres and supermarkets, only LuxPlus+ members will be a step ahead of everyone else when Luxury Escapes’ ‘Best of 2024’ launches on Boxing Day.

Why? For the first time, every single offer included in ‘Best of 2024’ will be available early, exclusively for LuxPlus+ members. An early Christmas present if ever there was one…

What is Luxury Escapes’ ‘Best of 2024’? 

The annual ‘Best of’ is our biggest offer lineup of the year. For travellers, it’s the holiday planning equivalent of actual Christmas Day. Launching on Boxing Day and rolling out over three weeks, this year’s ‘Best of 2024’ is the culmination of months and months of planning.

Every week for three weeks, some of our bestselling offers from the past 12 months makes its return bigger and better than ever. These offers are a tightly kept secret (keep your eyes peeled!) but you can expect to see the crème de la crème of Luxury Escapes stays. Think your favourite hotels in your favourite destinations worldwide, from Bali and Thailand to regional Australia and so much more.

With rolling launches from 26 December 2024, the ‘Best of’ event is something Luxury Escapes customers anticipate all year. “This is one of my favourite times of year,” says Adam Schwab, co-founder and CEO of Luxury Escapes. “Luxury Escapes customers tell us they look forward to it every year. Last year, we had our ‘Best of the Decade’ to celebrate 10 years of Luxury Escapes, and I couldn’t be more excited that this year’s ‘Best of’ takes everything we did to the next level, delivering even more value for our customers.”

LuxPlus+ members are first in line

As a LuxPlus+ member, you’re not just another traveller: you’re the traveller. And your LuxPlus+ membership gives you something more coveted this festive season than any high-tech gadget.

You’ll receive exclusive early access to every single offer featured in ‘Best of 2024’, with priority releases to LuxPlus+ members a minimum of 48 hours before the general public – meaning you’ll never miss out on your dream destination. Of course, LuxPlus+ members also unlock exclusive savings on every ‘Best of 2024’ offer too.

“This year, we’re delivering even more exclusive benefits to our loyal LuxPlus+ members. We’ve never done a pre-access campaign like this before,” says Christie Fekete, Luxury Escapes’ Senior Manager – Sales Optimisation. “It’s an unrivalled way to fast-track holiday planning while also still getting all the other benefits of LuxPlus+ membership.” 

In previous ‘Best of’ events, the featured bestselling offers have sold out faster than family members swooping on the last slice of pavlova. Christie’s tip for ‘Best of 2024’ is to move quickly when you see an offer you want. “This extra time is incredibly valuable, use it wisely! LuxPlus+ members will have their first pick of rooms and travel dates, so have those discussions about where to go and when with your family members now and be ready to lock them in.”

Travel dates for each offer vary, so LuxPlus+ members can use ‘Best of 2024’ to lock in their holidays for all of 2025 – and beyond. It’s something Christie says other Luxury Escapes members do year-after-year. “We hear all the time that they [Luxury Escapes members] wait for this every year, booking their next Luxury Escape while eating Christmas leftovers and watching the cricket.”

More year-round exclusives

LuxPlus+ members don’t just get exclusive and early access to upcoming ‘Best of 2024’ offers; a LuxPlus+ membership promises uncapped access to hidden member-only offers all year-round. Plus, select bestselling offers, from hotels to tours, are also released to LuxPlus+ members before the general public.

To help you plan for ‘Best of 2024′, Penny Cordner-Maas, Luxury Escapes’ Head of Content, suggests reading up on destinations on your bucket list. “Our curated travel guides and articles have all the inspiration you need and promise amazing insight into the world’s best destinations and experiences,” Penny says. “LuxPlus+ members will not only find tips and tricks to help them make the most of their membership benefits, but they’ll also find an abundance of advice on where to go, where to stay and what to do while they’re away, no matter the destination. It’s perfect reading for the festive break!”
