At Untravelled Paths, we believe that unforgettable experiences don’t have to come with a hefty price tag. In fact, some of the most memorable travel moments come from places that feel luxurious but are surprisingly affordable. Whether it’s sipping wine in a mountain spa or sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, we specialise in curated journeys that offer real value without compromising on comfort, beauty or adventure. Here are five of our favourite experiences that bring together style, substance and savvy spending.
1. The Montenegro Experience
Montenegro might be small, but it packs in an incredible range of scenery and sophistication. Think dramatic mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and serene coastal towns. Begin with the wild beauty of Durmitor National Park, where peaceful hikes and jaw-dropping views await. Then head to the chic charm of Kotor Bay with its Venetian-style old towns, boutique hotels, and alfresco dining. End your journey on the glamorous Adriatic coast, where the beaches and seafood rival those of the French Riviera – but at a fraction of the price. This is understated luxury in one of Europe’s most underrated destinations. Find out more here…
2. The Sahara Desert & Morocco Experiences
Few places feel as exotic and atmospheric as Morocco. It’s a place where your money goes far, especially when it comes to boutique stays and memorable moments. Start in the sensory-rich cities of Marrakech or Fes, where you’ll stay in stylish riads, beautifully decorated traditional homes with inner courtyards and rooftop terraces. Head into the High Atlas Mountains or visit ancient kasbahs, then journey to the Sahara for a night of desert glamping under the stars. With incredible hospitality, flavour-packed cuisine and vibrant markets, Morocco delivers on every front and always with flair. Find out more here…
3. The Western Cape Safari Experience
This South Africa adventure is all about bucket-list moments and unbeatable value. Begin in Cape Town, one of the world’s most stunning cities, where penguins waddle across Boulders Beach and Table Mountain offers epic views. Add in wine tastings in the Cape Winelands and feeding rescued elephants at a sanctuary, and the trip is already unforgettable. But the real highlight is a stay at a luxury game lodge for a classic African safari—without the eye-watering cost of East African options. Stylish, exciting and surprisingly affordable, this is a dream trip that feels indulgent from start to finish. Find out more here…
4. The Slovenia Nature & Spa Experience
Slovenia is a nature lover’s dream, with Alpine peaks, emerald lakes and peaceful forests. But it’s also quietly luxurious, especially when it comes to food, wine and wellness. Start with tranquil hikes and traditional guesthouses in the countryside, where farm-to-table dining is the norm. Local wines are top quality and affordable, often served with panoramic views. Finish your escape with a couple of nights in a boutique spa hotel surrounded by natural beauty. Whether you’re soaking in thermal waters or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire, Slovenia offers pure relaxation without the luxury price tag. Find out more here…
5. The Turkish Balloon & Gulet Experiences
Turkey is where East meets West in the most magical way. Begin in Istanbul, a city that buzzes with history, culture and cosmopolitan flair. Then head to Cappadocia for one of travel’s true bucket-list experiences: a hot air balloon ride over its surreal, fairy-tale landscape. It feels exclusive but is surprisingly affordable. Round off your trip on the Turkish Riviera, where turquoise waters meet pine-covered hills. Spend a day on a gulet, a traditional wooden sailing boat, lounging, swimming and enjoying delicious food in style. Turkey offers big experiences, bold culture and luxury moments that are well within reach. Find our more…
