“Having dreams is what makes life tolerable” – Rudy 1993 

We believe life in its simplest form is about the experiences you have, the stories you tell about the things you've seen and done, and the people that have moved you. We used these beliefs to create not just packages but memorable sporting experiences. We achieve this with a team of sports enthusiasts who cultivate the best contacts and work with the best in every field, from teams to former players, from luxury hotels to luxury transportation, with an unbeatable attention to detail to ensure our customers are always our number 1 priority.  I'm able to say that not only would I recommend these trips but I'd actually buy them myself!!

What I like about EDUSport though is that they provide participant sports opportunities for you if you are looking for yourself to get involved, such as with cycling, golf , hiking, and running.

Jet Priority Booking

From race cars to private jets: the influence of sports on luxury travel.

Imagine the roar of engines on a Formula 1 track, the sleek silhouette of a yacht as it slices through the azure waters, or the exclusive thrill of watching a grand slam from the comfort of a private skybox. These are the experiences that define the intersection of sports and luxury travel—a niche where adrenaline meets elegance, and where every detail is tailored to offer the ultimate in both excitement and comfort.

Table of Contents

Key Takeaways

Sports luxury travel offers bespoke experiences that combine the thrill of sports with the opulence of high-end travel.

From private jet charters to VIP access at sporting events, every aspect is designed for discerning travelers seeking exclusivity.

Luxury accommodations are situated close to the action, ensuring convenience without compromising on comfort.

Transportation options extend beyond mere travel, offering an experience in themselves with supercars and superyachts.

Bespoke travel experiences are crafted to meet the individual desires of travelers, making each trip unique and unforgettable.

Revving Up the Thrill: How Sports Fuel Luxe Adventures

For those with a penchant for speed and luxury, nothing compares to the exhilaration of a sports car tour. Imagine taking the wheel of a Lamborghini or Ferrari and navigating the hairpin turns of Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit. It’s not just about the drive; it’s about the full experience—staying in five-star hotels, enjoying gourmet dining, and receiving the kind of personalized attention that makes you feel like motorsport royalty.

Luxury Gets Sporty: High-Octane Experiences for the Elite Traveler

But why stop at cars? The luxury sports travel trend extends to the skies and the seas. Private jet charters whisk you away to the world’s most coveted sporting events, from the Olympics to the Super Bowl, ensuring you arrive refreshed and ready to indulge in the spectacle. On the waves, superyachts serve as floating villas, offering a serene escape after a day of excitement.

Luxe Sports Car Tours Across Iconic Tracks

Let’s delve deeper into these luxe sports car tours . They’re not just about the driving; they’re an all-encompassing luxury package. Picture this: after a day on the track, you’re unwinding with a spa treatment designed to soothe those driving muscles, followed by a private dinner where the menu is crafted by a Michelin-starred chef. This is the reality of sports luxury travel, where every moment is curated to be as thrilling as the main event.

Private Skyboxes and VIP Packages at World-Class Sporting Events

And then there are the skyboxes and VIP packages at premier sporting events. These aren’t just tickets; they’re golden keys to the most exclusive experiences. Whether it’s courtside seats at Wimbledon or a luxury suite at the FIFA World Cup, these packages often include meet-and-greets with athletes, behind-the-scenes tours, and receptions where the champagne flows as freely as the conversations with fellow aficionados.

Most importantly, this is about creating moments that last a lifetime. Because when you’re sipping on a top-shelf beverage, feeling the buzz of the crowd, and witnessing athletic prowess up close, you’re not just watching a game—you’re part of an event that’s larger than life.

Exclusive Access: Connecting with Sport Legends and Events

Imagine being greeted by your favorite sports hero before the match or being part of an intimate dinner with Olympic legends discussing their journey to gold. These are the types of experiences that money can’t typically buy, but they are the cornerstone of sports luxury travel.

It’s not just about being a spectator; it’s about being an insider. Sports luxury travel often includes opportunities to meet and interact with sports legends, adding a personal touch that transcends the usual fan experience. These encounters provide insights into the sports world that are usually hidden from public view and create memories that are priceless.

Whether it’s playing a round of golf with a PGA tour pro or attending a private training session with renowned athletes, these experiences go beyond the game. They connect you with the heart and soul of sports—the passion, the dedication, and the drive that champions embody.

Therefore, when planning your next luxury sports travel , consider what exclusive access means to you. Is it the adrenaline of being close to the action, the joy of meeting your sports idol, or the prestige of exclusive events? Tailor your trip around these desires for an unparalleled experience.

Scoring Goals in Style: Marrying Comfort with Competition

But what’s a thrilling day without a serene night to follow? That’s where luxury accommodations come into play. Proximity to the venue is a given, but it’s the level of comfort and service that turns a stay into an experience. Think of suites that offer views of the stadium or villas that cater to every whim, all designed to make you feel like a winner, regardless of the game’s outcome.

These accommodations are often equipped with amenities that cater specifically to sports fans, such as in-room displays of the day’s events or curated memorabilia that celebrate the local sporting culture. It’s a way to stay immersed in the spirit of competition even as you unwind in luxury.

Luxury Accommodations Close to the Action

Location is everything, and in sports luxury travel, it’s about more than just convenience. It’s about waking up to the sight of the racetrack or being able to hear the roar of the stadium from your balcony. These accommodations aren’t just places to sleep; they’re integral parts of the sporting experience, designed to keep you connected to the heart of the action.

The Role of Wellness and Recovery in Sports Travel

After a day of excitement, wellness and recovery become paramount. Luxury sports travel understands this need and often incorporates wellness retreats and spa treatments into the itinerary. These aren’t your average spa services; they’re often sports-focused, aimed at rejuvenating the body after an adrenaline-fueled day.

Massage therapies tailored to soothe muscles tired from cheering or even participating in sports activities.

Nutritionist-designed meals to replenish and energize the body for the next day’s adventures.

Yoga and meditation sessions to center the mind and enhance the overall experience.

It’s this attention to the body and mind that sets sports luxury travel apart. It’s not just about the rush of the game; it’s about holistic experiences that cater to every aspect of the traveler’s well-being.

Next-Level Transportation: From Supercars to Superyachts

Getting there can be just as much a part of the luxury experience as the destination itself. For the sports enthusiast with a taste for the finer things, travel is about more than moving from point A to B—it’s an extension of the thrill. This is where supercars and superyachts come into the picture, turning transportation into an exclusive adventure.

Supercars offer the chance to navigate the streets with the same vigor as the athletes on the field, while superyachts provide a tranquil escape from the cheers of the crowd. Both are symbols of a lifestyle that values the exceptional and the extraordinary.

Chartering a supercar to drive through the winding roads of the host city.

Arranging a superyacht stay docked in a marina, just steps away from a seaside sporting venue.

Opting for helicopter transfers to beat the traffic and get a bird’s-eye view of the event location.

With these modes of transportation, the journey becomes a memorable part of the sports travel experience, imbued with the same luxury and excitement as the main event.

Chartering Elite Vehicles for Land, Sea, and Air Excursions

When it comes to sports luxury travel, how you get there matters. Chartering elite vehicles isn’t just about luxury; it’s about creating an experience that complements the sporting event. It’s about the anticipation that builds as you approach the venue in a vehicle that’s an icon of excellence .

VIP Transfers and On-Demand Travel Services

From the moment you step off the plane, every transfer is arranged to ensure your comfort and convenience. Imagine a chauffeur waiting to whisk you away to your accommodation, or a private tender ready to take you to your superyacht . These are the hallmarks of VIP treatment in sports luxury travel.

On-demand travel services mean you have the flexibility to make last-minute decisions, whether it’s attending a post-game celebration or visiting a nearby attraction. It’s about having the freedom to tailor your travel to your desires, all while ensuring that the journey is as exceptional as the destination.

In conclusion, sports luxury travel is about indulging in your passions while enjoying the pinnacle of comfort and exclusivity. It’s about experiences that are as thrilling as they are luxurious, crafted to leave an indelible mark on your memory. As you plan your next adventure, consider how each aspect of your trip can be elevated to reflect the grandeur of the sporting world.

Understanding the Appeal of Bespoke Travel Experiences

Bespoke travel experiences are the bread and butter of luxury sports travel. They are tailored to fit the unique tastes and interests of the traveler, creating a one-of-a-kind adventure that can’t be replicated. This customization is what sets luxury sports travel apart from standard vacation packages. It’s about having your preferences and desires at the forefront, ensuring that your travel experience is as individual as you are.

Signature Events and Packages That Attract the Sporty Jet Set

Signature events, such as the Monaco Grand Prix or The Masters, are magnets for those seeking luxury sports travel. These events offer packages that provide not just access, but an all-encompassing experience. Picture yourself arriving at the event in a chauffeur-driven luxury car, enjoying gourmet meals prepared by renowned chefs, and rubbing shoulders with celebrities and athletes at exclusive after-parties. These packages are designed to make attendees feel like VIPs from start to finish.

These signature events are also a chance for travelers to immerse themselves in the culture and excitement that surrounds these global sports phenomena. They are about more than just the sport; they are celebrations of excellence, luxury, and human achievement.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■

Overwater bungalows started as a bottom-tier accommodation. Today, they're a status symbol in the luxury travel world.

Overwater bungalows originated nearly 60 years ago in Tahiti.

The first rooms cost $240 a night. Today, experts say they're a staple in the luxury travel market.

The accommodations have since expanded in region, size, and amenities.

The first overwater bungalow had a thatched roof, a window peering into the ocean, and a ladder leading into the water.

Fast-forward 60 years, and overwater villas can now feature multi-story water slides, infinity pools, and personal butlers. They can also cost upwards of $8,000 a night at some of the world's ritziest resorts.

There's no doubt the accommodation style has expanded since its start in Tahiti in 1967, and travel experts agree they aren't going away anytime soon. Instead, the overwater villa has become a status symbol of luxury travel.

The start of the overwater bungalows

In 1959, three Americans left California for Tahiti's lush landscapes and crystal waters.

The men — Jay Carlisle, Hugh Kelley, and Donald McCallum — relocated with plans to start vanilla farming. When they learned the land they purchased wasn't suitable for vanilla, they turned to hospitality, Vaihiria Kelley, the daughter of Hugh Kelley, told Business Insider.

They purchased a four-room, run-down property on the island of Moorea and named it Bali Hai. The trio became known as the Bali Hai Boys.

Their timing was ideal, Kelley said. Shortly after renovating the hotel, a new airport connected international travelers to Tahiti, which had previously only been accessible by boat. In 1962, Life Magazine wrote a seven-page feature on Tahiti and the Bali Hai Boys. Tourism boomed.

After that, the men purchased two more hotels on two other islands.

As the hotels grew in popularity, they needed to grow in size. Two of the properties had the land to expand, but the third hotel on the island of Raiatea didn't, Kelley said. Instead, it was surrounded by roads, neighboring resorts, and the ocean.

"The overwater bungalow didn't start out of, 'Oh, let's think of something really innovative,'" Kelley said. "It really came out of a need."

Without land to expand, the ocean was their only option. Nearby, on the island of Huahine, traditional Tahitian fishing huts lined the coast.

That's where the trio found their inspiration, Kelley said. The basic fishing huts sat on coconut trunk pillars and had thatched roofs. Mimicking the style, they built three overwater bungalows to join the garden and pool bungalows that also filled the Raiatea property in 1967.

Kelley said the men assumed the overwater bungalows were the least desirable at the time and priced them at just $240 a day , including meals.

"They didn't expect that it would be so popular," Kelley said.

Vacationers were enchanted by falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to dive straight into the water. After realizing they had a successful concept, Kelley said the Bali Hai Boys began adding overwater bungalows to their two other properties. It wasn't long before other resorts on islands across French Polynesia started copying the design.

Kelley, who grew up in Moorea, remembers watching her dad welcome guests to the hotel. Celebrities and actors traveled across the world to sleep in the overwater bungalows.

"When you see the pictures now, you think, 'Oh my God, it's very '70s," Kelley said. "But for that time, it was very luxurious."

Nearly 60 years later, it remains a luxurious vacation, Ronan McLoughlin, the owner of Dream Overwater Bungalows , a website that compiles resorts around the world, told BI.

Today, there are about 250 resorts that offer accommodations over the water, with many being four or five-star resorts.

The original resort on Raiatea has since closed, but Kelley said she sees a bit of her dad's vision each time she sees an overwater bungalow.

While the concept has existed for decades, experts say it remains a luxury staple

Jason Toms has spent the last four years helping travelers build tailor-made vacations in the Maldives at the luxury travel company Audley Travel .

And if someone is traveling to the Maldives, chances are they're looking to sleep in an overwater villa.

"It's the signature way to stay in the Maldives," Toms told BI. "My clients, who are typically traveling from the US, 95% are asking for overwater villas."

Lucy Rudgard, the senior oceans and islands expert at the luxury tour operator Scott Dunn , agreed, adding that the appeal of overwater stays goes beyond just the Maldives.

"It's always No. 1 on people's list," she said, noting that travelers are also willing to pay a lot for the experience of sleeping above water. In destinations like the Maldives and Bora Bora, overwater villas can cost twice as much as a beachside resort.

For Rudgard's clients, the entry cost for a week in an overwater villa might be around $30,000, but she estimates some clients have spent more than $250,000 for overwater vacations.

McLoughlin said these high costs are also partly why the accommodations have remained a luxury staple.

"There's a status to it as well because they're automatically expensive in most places," McLoughlin said since it can be expensive to build the bungalows.

On top of that, it's no easy feat for many US travelers to get to some of these faraway destinations, which adds another layer of luxury to the accommodation.

"If you were to be seen in an overwater bungalow, it meant that either you're in the Maldives or in Bora Bora or somewhere fancy," McLoughlin said.

Overwater resorts continue to pop up around the world

For decades, overwater bungalows were largely limited to the Maldives and French Polynesia. But within the last eight years, the concept has expanded to the Caribbean , a destination much closer to most Americans.

But building an overwater bungalow in the Caribbean can be a hard task to accomplish, Danny Kalenov, the developer behind Six Senses Belize , an overwater bungalow resort that's set to open in 2026, told BI.

Places like the Maldives and Bora Bora are ideal for overwater bungalows because they are dotted with lagoons, atolls, and calm waters. Plus, hurricanes are few and far between.

As the vacation style became one that everyone dreamed of, builders were determined to offer the experience of sleeping above water in the Caribbean.

In 2016, the Sandals Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, became the first overwater bungalow resort in the area .

"Now, they've started to pop up everywhere in the last seven or six years," McLoughlin said.

Today, Dream Overwater has cataloged nine Caribbean locations home to more than a dozen overwater bungalow resorts.

According to Kalenov, the demand for the experience is still high, with Americans wanting to travel closer to home. That's why the luxury hotel brand Six Senses is building a private island resort with 40 overwater villas off Belize's Ambergris Caye.

The company is using a custom-built barge made specifically for shallow water and specialized equipment. Kalenov compared the process to "filling a swimming pool with a teaspoon."

And while the construction might be more challenging than a traditional resort, he said the end product — and experience he's creating — will be worth it.

It's not just Six Senses that's betting on overwater villas. Royalton Chic Antigua is set to open this spring with 12 overwater suites, and Sandals in St. Vincent and the Grenadines opened at the end of March with 10 two-story villas starting at $1,570-a-person per night.

"We believe that this type of experience is the future of luxury travel and the future of hospitality in general," Kalenov said.

Until now, the closest we’ve got to the feeling of luxury when flying was walking past the designer shops in the airport on our way to the loo.

But there’s a new and nifty way for us to travel in style and feel like we’re living that bad and bougie lifestyle on a budget.

Priority Pass is the world’s largest independent airport lounge access programme and basically offers you jammy discounts on over 1400 lounges across 600 cities in 148 countries.

Plus, if you arrive early you may even be able to enjoy some luxury treatments. A calming head massage before we head off? What a time to be alive.

A Standard Plus Membership is £229 per year , which works out to just over £19 a month. For that, you get ten free lounge visits and you can pay £24 per visit for a plus one.
