We plan luxury special occasion vacations for all sorts of events. Why not celebrate your 40th on a South African safari surrounded by your closest friends, or at a luxury resort on an island in the Great Barrier Reef? A ten-year wedding anniversary would be even more romantic in Argentina’s wine country, where you can wander through vineyards with a glass of Malbec in hand, or in the Maldives, where you can stay in an overwater bungalow, dive with whale sharks, and stroll through old colonial towns. Two of our favorite special occasion travel destinations for kicking off a well-earned retirement are China and Peru, where you can spend weeks, or even months, exploring ancient wonders, ultra-modern cities, and exploring endlessly scenic rural fantasylands.

We also love helping people select special occasion travel destinations for their weddings. Whether you’re eloping or bringing along your family and friends, we will expertly plan a seamless wedding trip, and the accompanying honeymoon. We know the most beautiful places to get married and the best local wedding planners, photographers, and caterers. Think about it: how could you not want to get married in a glittering palace in India, or on a secluded beach in Bora Bora?

Whatever you’re celebrating, Absolute Travel will be working hard to ensure your special occasion travel adventure is packed with unique moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Here are some of our favorite special occasion vacation destinations and experiences you can have there:

• Tanzania offers incredible options for special occasion adventure vacations. You can climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, take game drives across the Ngorongoro Crater’s vast, grassy caldera, and enjoy sunset cruises around the fabled island of Zanzibar on a traditional wooden dhow.

• Sumptuous Thailand is one of our most popular special occasion vacation destinations, and is an excellent place for a family reunion. You can let loose in Bangkok’s bars and feast at its world-famous food carts, ride elephants through the jungle surrounding Chiang Mai, and indulge all of your senses at the ultra-luxurious resorts and spas that dot its seductive coastline.

• Turkey is an outstanding choice for special occasion adventure vacations, and it is sure to fascinate and enthrall you. Endlessly chic Istanbul is filled with imposing mosques and trendy restaurants. Cappadocia has stunning rock formations and ancient underground cities, and the country’s famous coast is simply majestic—you’ll take in all of its beauty as you sail down it on a gulet.

• The Galapagos is one of the world’s most wonderful places, and certainly one of its most thrilling special occasion vacation destinations. You’ll spend days sailing between the different islands and investigating their famously diverse flora and fauna with expert naturalists. You’ll get to swim with playful sea lions, snorkel among turtles and schools of vibrant fish, and enjoy gourmet meals on the deck of your intimate and luxuriously appointed boat.
