For couples wanting to celebrate enduring love, renewal of vows trips are gaining huge momentum in 2025.
Intimate, romantic, and deeply personal, these occasions blend meaningful ceremony with stunning backdrops.
Castello del Calcione is the epitome of this trend—an exclusive Tuscan castle surrounded by rolling vineyards and ancient olive groves. Its timeless charm and intimate atmosphere create the perfect setting for couples to reaffirm their commitment with close friends and family.
Whether you want a rustic yet elegant celebration or a peaceful retreat to mark your journey together, Castello del Calcione offers bespoke experiences that feel both authentic and unforgettable.
Wellness is no longer just an add-on; it’s a driving force behind many group celebrations in 2025.
Increasingly, groups are choosing to center their trips around mindful, health-focused experiences that bring balance, rejuvenation, and connection—whether as the primary reason to travel or as an enriching layer added to milestone celebrations.
Es Saadi Marrakech Resort captures this growing trend perfectly. With its luxurious spa, serene gardens, and holistic wellness offerings, it provides a sanctuary where groups can recharge together. Whether your celebration is a birthday, anniversary, or simply a gathering to honor life, Es Saadi elevates the experience by making wellness the heart of the trip.
This approach to celebration reflects a shift toward meaningful, restorative travel—where feeling good together becomes just as important as marking the occasion.
Bringing multiple generations together under one roof is more popular than ever.
Multigeneration trips allow families to reconnect, celebrate milestones, and create lasting memories in a setting that offers something for every age group.
Rancho Santana, a sprawling beachfront estate in Nicaragua, is a prime example of this trend.
With plenty of space, diverse activities ranging from surfing lessons to horseback riding, and a welcoming community vibe, Rancho Santana is ideal for families looking to celebrate together while enjoying individual adventures. It’s the kind of place where grandparents, parents, and kids can bond over shared experiences but also find moments of relaxation tailored just for them.
