You may not have money to burn and a private jet just yet. But you like to travel as though you do. You'll be choosing your exclusive holiday destinations based on how much pampering and privacy you can get. And even if you don't go all the way and stay at every five-star hotel your personal assistant can book you into, you'll be wearing your beaded kaftans and gold sandals, attending day spas, seeking out the best cocktail bars and trying to wrangle invitations to Hollywood-style parties. You're not all that interested in the local culture - well, a little bit of sightseeing can't hurt, can it? - mostly you just want to relax and enjoy.
This year
You went to the Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Aspen and Fiji.
Next year
You'll be wanting to go to Africa for a luxury safari and a stay in a five-star tent. Or to France to stay in a luxury yurt. Or to British designer and hotelier Anoushka Hempel's new boutique hotel, Warapuru, on the secluded Brazilian coast above a surf spot. Because after all, you can get spa-style pampering and chic interiors just about everywhere now. Gold-plated ostentatiousness and cocktails with giant pieces of pineapple on the side are out; time, space and tranquillity are in. So what you want for your money is complete privacy, a little bit of exotica, and lots of great service plus all mod cons provided. You'd quite like it if it was politically correct too. So yes, let's call it conscious luxury-adventure.
