Why Luxury Family Travel Is the Best Long-Term Investment | Elite Magazine

Teen years are hard. There, I've said aloud what most parents will never voice. But I've noticed that sometimes all it takes is breaking the routine to get your teenager to let their guard down. 

My latest piece, published in Elite Magazine, talks about investing in luxury family travel. In a world where markets and future outlook are uncertain, the most important long-term investment you can make is in your family. 

It may sound philosophical. But, in practice, it is true. Away from the pressures of life, phones get forgotten in the bedroom (after the quintessential #lifeinparadise post, of course). Your kids open up more, perhaps over a competitive Jenga match, or while being silly in the pool. Long walks on the beach lend themselves to deeper conversations, and coming back to an elegantly laid out dinner under stars, cooked to your family's tastes by your private chef, just wraps it all up nicely. 

The biggest catalyst in this is 'luxury'. When you add that little amount of oomph to your holiday, you take away the stress. The ROI is immense. No hotel schedules to follow. No itinerary to tick off. Away from the prying eyes of strangers and the stress of keeping an eye on the kids all the time, luxury villa travel allows everyone space to spread out, which, in turn, makes them come back closer when it's family time.
