Do you have a milestone (30, 40, 50, 60, etc.) birthday coming up?! Ever think about celebrating your birthday on a trip with your loved ones?! Sounds like a fantastic idea, right?! I've been working on a bunch of milestone birthdays for my clients in destinations such as Jamaica, Mexico, and Dominican Republic and thought I could share my tips on how to get started planning yours!
Planning an all-inclusive destination birthday trip can be an excellent way to celebrate your special day! Whether you're turning 20 or 100 or anything in between, an all-inclusive trip can provide the perfect opportunity to relax, indulge, and create lasting memories with your loved ones. With so many options and details to consider, it can be overwhelming to plan the perfect trip. That's where a travel planner can come in handy, hint hint..me!
Below are some tips and ideas for planning the ultimate all-inclusive destination birthday trip!
⛱️ Determine your budget - Before you start planning your trip, it's important to decide on a budget. All-inclusive trips and cruises can vary in price, so be sure to research and compare different options. Consider what's included in the package, such as meals, drinks, and activities, to determine what fits within you and your guests' price range. Is one person paying for the group or each individual or family paying for themselves? Understanding yours and your guests' budgets will be helpful to find the right destination to celebrate you!
⛱️ Choose your destination - Once you have a budget in mind, it's time to select your destination. Popular options for all-inclusive milestone birthday trips include:
The Caribbean: With its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and clear waters, the Caribbean is a top choice for an all-inclusive birthday trip.
Mexico: From Cancun to Cabo, Mexico offers a variety of all-inclusive resorts that cater to all interests and budgets.
Dominican Republic: With its stunning beaches and vibrant culture, the Dominican Republic is another great option for an all-inclusive destination milestone birthday trip.
Cruise: Going on a cruise can be a fun and unique way to celebrate your milestone birthday. Many cruise lines offer all-inclusive packages that include food, drinks, and entertainment (check-out this promotion Virgin Voyages is having for bookings made by March 31st!)
⛱️ Research and book your resort or cruise - Once you've chosen your destination, your travel planner can help you research and book the perfect all-inclusive resort or cruise. Look for a resort or cruise that offers the amenities and activities you're interested in, such as spa treatments, water sports, or evening entertainment. Many resorts offer special perks for birthday celebrations, such as room upgrades, birthday cakes, or private dinners and events!
⛱️ Plan your activities - While an all-inclusive resort or cruise can provide a lot of entertainment and relaxation, it's still a good idea to plan some activities outside of the resort or ship. Consider what you want to do, such as exploring local landmarks, trying new restaurants, or going on a shore excursion. Many resorts and cruise lines offer excursions and tours that you can book directly through them or with your travel advisor.
⛱️ Make it special - Your travel agent can work with the resort or cruise line to arrange special surprises or decorations for your room or cabin, making your milestone birthday trip extra special! They can also recommend unique experiences, such as private dinners, boat excursions, spa treatments, etc. to make your trip unforgettable!
Planning a destination birthday trip can be a fantastic way to celebrate your special day and using a travel advisor to help with all the planning and coordination for you and your guests can make the process easier and less stressful! Together, you can create a trip that meets your budget, interests, and preferences, while making your milestone birthday extra special.
