2026 Trends
(According To Us)
Main Character Energy
What's next in 2026? We already know.
After 14 years of planning trips and watching travel evolve, we've learned to spot the shifts before they show up in your feed. The destinations that are about to hit different. The experiences people will be craving. The way travel is changing from content collection to actual connection.
This isn't trend-forecasting based on algorithms or what went viral last month. This is what we're already booking for next year; the requests we're getting, the places we're securing, the way our clients want to feel when they travel. Consider this your insider's guide to 2026. The trends worth knowing about, the shifts worth paying attention to, and the experiences we're already plotting.
Making your stopover
a main character moment
That connection in Singapore? Stay three days. The layover in Dubai? Make it a long weekend. Turn transit cities into actual destinations worth experiencing. Most people rush through - in 2026 discover what everyone else overlooks. A few days in Istanbul between Europe and Asia. A stopover in Tokyo that becomes its own chapter. Time to unwind, explore, and actually enjoy the in-between instead of enduring it.
Scheduling slow days
The new flex is having nothing planned. We're building in days where the only decision is pool or beach, and the only schedule is when you feel like eating.
After years of watching people burn out trying to see everything, we've learned: the slow days save the trip. This is luxury that doesn't perform - it just exists.
Wellness isn't a spa
treatment anymore
Forget the juice cleanse. We're talking forest bathing in Japan, ice plunges in Iceland, sound baths in the Sahara. The kind of reset your algorithm can't give you. This isn't about detox teas and 5am yoga - it's about the permission to disconnect, the space to think, the time away from your inbox that actually changes something. Wellness that doesn't feel like work. Experiences that restore without performing restoration or biohacking.
Long Lunches Are the
New Itinerary
Natural wine, authentic food no phones, three hours minimum. The meal becomes the destination.
We’re not talking Michelin-starred. Just authentic tavernas, feet in the sand, eating whatever Papou pulled from the water that morning. These aren't just meals; they're the moments you'll remember when the monument photos fade.
The Bottom Line
The best experiences aren't the ones you find in a hashtag. They're the ones that feel like they were waiting for you to discover them. We don’t travel inside the algorithm, we create it.
Be ahead of the trends in 2026.
