Luxury Destinations That Shine in Autumn
While summer may get most of the attention, autumn has its own magic with fewer crowds, softer light and in many places, better value without sacrificing luxury. For the discerning traveller, September, October and November can be the most rewarding months of the year to explore the world. At Luxari Travel, we have handpicked destinations that truly shine in autumn, each offering something unique for those seeking style, comfort and exceptional service.
Morocco – Exotic Charm in Comfort
Best For: Culture lovers, design enthusiasts, warm weather without intense summer heat.
In autumn, Morocco’s climate shifts to a pleasant warmth that makes exploring its cities and landscapes far more enjoyable. Picture yourself wandering through the vibrant souks of Marrakech, sipping mint tea on a riad rooftop or riding a camel across golden Sahara dunes at sunset.
Recommended Luxury Stay: Royal Mansour Marrakech – Commissioned by the King of Morocco, this iconic property features intricately designed private riads, exceptional dining by Michelin-starred chefs and a spa often named among the best in the world.
Japan – Autumn Colours and Cultural Elegance
Best For: Scenic beauty, gourmet dining, cultural exploration.
Japan’s autumn foliage season rivals its famous cherry blossom, with maples, ginkgos and mountainsides awash in vivid reds and golds. Kyoto’s historic temples become even more photogenic, while Tokyo offers Michelin-star dining, cutting-edge shopping and unique seasonal events.
Recommended Luxury Stay: The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto – Set along the Kamogawa River with views of the Higashiyama mountains, this hotel blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with refined modern comfort. Guests can enjoy tea ceremonies, kaiseki dining and private guided tours of the city’s cultural treasures.
Amalfi Coast, Italy – Mediterranean Magic Without the Crowds
Best For: Romantic getaways, coastal scenery, fine dining.
In September and October, the Amalfi Coast slows down, offering a more relaxed atmosphere. The sea remains warm enough for swims, and vineyards are in harvest season, making it a perfect time for wine lovers. Explore cliffside towns, take private boat trips to Capri or enjoy candlelit dinners overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Recommended Luxury Stay: Le Sirenuse, Positano – A family-run icon since 1951, this property offers elegant rooms with sea views, an outdoor pool overlooking Positano and an acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurant.
Seychelles – Tropical Bliss in Peak Condition
Best For: Beach lovers, divers, honeymooners.
In September and October, the Seychelles enjoys calm seas and excellent diving conditions, with water visibility at its best. This is also a superb time for island hopping, sailing or simply relaxing in ultimate seclusion on white-sand beaches.
Recommended Luxury Stay: North Island, Seychelles – One of the most exclusive private island resorts in the world, North Island offers just eleven villas, each with direct beach access, bespoke dining and world-class spa treatments.
