Where do “the elite” vacation?

Only elite if you fast pass it.

I think right now they are all on yachts in St. Barths.

Yes, they are the far-flung locales that have been posted, but believe it or not, some elites keep it simple and go to the Delaware beaches. They have a been-there-done-that mindset and prefer to keep it simple. At a lot of the "elite" travel locations, it's more people that are acting elite, than actual elite people.

This.

We stay at luxury resorts like four seasons, Ritz, mandarin oriental, rosewood, etc. We stay in a 2 bedroom suite.

We like to travel all four seasons. In the winter, we do a mix of ski and sun. We don’t do skip trips to Europe but will do park city and some drivable weekend ski trips. Yes, it is icy and not great conditions but my kids love to ski. I personally love going to Mexico or Caribbean and stay at a nice resort with spa. We do kid oriented trips since we have 3 kids and don’t care if some snobby people think it is low brow. My kids enjoyed Legoland, Dutch wonderland, Disney, universal, etc. we will go to friends’ beach houses.

We have enough money that if I see a place that looks fun, we can plan to go. During covid, we rented homes. It does cost more and it is comfortable. I missed room service and amenities though.

We know people who rent fully staffed homes. We have yet to do this.

This isn't what we are talking about on this thread. We are talking about people much richer than you.

This. Working professionals have a habit of conflating themselves with the *truly elite*

For skiing, Lech-Zurs in Austria.

My friend, who married into wealth, frequently traveled to Cabo, St. Tropez, Bora Bora, and the like — mostly beach vacations, but they would occasionally go to Paris. Her husband had a yacht and a private jet.

Very interesting, indeed. I’ll never have this life, but I don’t think I want to, based on the description.

And if you are looking for where they vacation - here are some of the clubs.
Bakers Bay and Yellowstone and El Dorado are the most famous, but these folks have mastered it.

Sort of off spin question here. But HHI does it get to get in here? You don’t know until invited?

I follow two influencers (actually own businesses) so not your Target mom and I know recognize Troubador Club and the Yellowstone club.

Not about HHI at this level.
It’s net worth. Several hundred million at least.

I love skiing YC - starter home used to be $7m; much more now.
Homes in El dorado club are $12-14m…these are often 3rd/4th homes…used 2-4x a year and generally not rented out.
Bakers bay was less - $5-6m….

But these “clubs” with the service are beyond - seriously the way to live. Makes any other luxe vacations seem pedestrian.

The Yellowstone Club is basically sold out. Only thing available are resales and there is 100+ person waitlist for those. Bakers unbuilt lots are about $7 mil. Houses start at $12

I got to vacation/ski at Yellowstone Club over New Years (guests of friends who have a home there).
Such a pampered luxe experience.
Totally get the distinction now between working rich and the truly elite. Its miles/worlds apart.

If you are talking about old money elites, they tend to go to old-school but not necessarily super posh places: Mill Reef Club in Antigua, Coral Beach Club on Bermuda and summer in places like Dark Harbor, Quogue, Old Black Point.

+1, and Lyford Cay and Baker's Bay - very few "working rich." Full of old money and those with billions/100+ million.

Yes to lyford cay. Windemere in Eleuthra. And harbour island, bahamas.
Definitely Mill Reef Club in Antigua.

look at all of the Slim Aarons photos from both Lyford and Mill Reef Club - though its a bit old and stuffy now for my taste.

Think the younger hipper "old money elites" tend to swarm to other places that skew younger - Montana, Cartagena, Caryeyes, Mustique, Bakers Bay, El Dorado Club, Pedasi etc.
