Luxury Escapes

Luxury Escapes is an Australian-founded online travel agency for curated luxury hotel, tour, cruise and villa packages, so pick your package, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Packages typically bundle a stay with inclusive perks such as daily breakfast for two, a resort credit worth $100 to $400 per stay, private airport transfers, welcome drinks or a champagne bottle on arrival, and free-night offers (5 for 4, 7 for 5 style). Inventory rotates through flash sales lasting from 24 hours to 2 weeks with fixed date ranges, rather than the year-round marketplace model of Expedia and Booking.com. The US site at luxuryescapes.com/us serves US-outbound travellers with global inventory anchored around Sandals and Beaches Caribbean resorts, Riviera Maya all-inclusives, Waikiki and Maui beachfront properties, European luxury from Santorini to the Amalfi Coast, and Asia-Pacific icons in Bali, Phuket, Fiji, and Japan. Go through the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback; that page shows the live rate.

Yes. Established Australian OTA since 2013 operating in the US, UK, Singapore, and multiple other markets. Packages are backed by supplier contracts with named partners including Sandals, Karisma, Hyatt, Marriott, Accor, and Royal Caribbean. US inventory depth is smaller than Expedia Vacations but the curated flash-sale model means less noise and more bundled perks per package.

LuxPlus+ is the paid membership tier with member-exclusive rates 5 to 15 percent below public LE pricing, daily resort credit on select stays, triple status credits, and 24 to 48-hour early access to flash sales. Verify current US annual fees on the LuxPlus+ page. Break-even typically hits at two package trips per year; free membership tier is usually enough for occasional bookers.

Packages appear for 24-hour to 2-week windows with 20 to 100 room-nights per property allocated. Once sold out, gone until the next re-listing cycle (4 to 8 weeks later, sometimes never). Some packages allow flexible date selection within a broader window; others fix specific dates. January Trip Fair, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Black Friday November 27, Cyber Monday November 30, 12.12 December, and End-of-Year December 26 are the tentpole windows. Go through the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page before you pay.

Three typical tiers. Non-refundable flash-sale (sale-final, sometimes 10 to 20 percent service-fee date-change credit if requested more than 90 days out). Standard cancellation (full refund up to 60 days out, 50 percent 60 to 30 days, no refund inside 30 days). Flexible cancellation (full refund up to 14 or 7 days, priced 10 to 25 percent above equivalent non-refundable). All terms show at checkout.

Named US 2026 events: January Trip Fair (first two weeks), Presidents Day (around February 16 2026), spring flash (March and April), Memorial Day (around May 25), midsummer flash (July), Labor Day (around September 7), Columbus Day (around October 12), Black Friday November 27 2026, Cyber Monday November 30 2026, 12.12 December 12 2026, End-of-Year December 26 2026 through January 1 2027, Anniversary Sale (rotates). Sign up for the email list plus the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page alert; the most popular packages sell out within 24 to 72 hours.

Both operate curated flash-sale luxury travel models but serve different destination footprints. Luxury Escapes is Australian-founded (2013) with the strongest inventory across Asia-Pacific (Bali, Phuket, Fiji, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney), Australia, and increasingly the Caribbean and Mexico Riviera through its 2024 to 2026 US expansion; a typical LE Caribbean all-inclusive week for two adults lands in the $3,800 to $6,200 range with resort credit, transfers, and breakfast bundled. Secret Escapes is UK-founded (2011) with the deepest European and UK-outbound inventory, historically stronger on continental Europe boutique hotels, Greek island villas, and Alpine ski lodges; a comparable Santorini week typically runs $3,200 to $5,400 on Secret Escapes versus $3,500 to $5,800 on LE for similar tier properties. For US travellers going to Europe, both platforms overlap; compare the same hotel or region across both before booking. For Asia-Pacific luxury, Luxury Escapes typically has 3 to 5x more inventory. LuxPlus+ paid membership is the LE analogue to Secret Escapes' member-exclusive tier. See our Luxury Escapes vs Secret Escapes comparison for a wider view. If you book Luxury Escapes, go through the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page before you pay.

Typical package inclusions vary by property but a Caribbean or Mexico all-inclusive package usually bundles daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner at all resort restaurants, unlimited premium-brand beverages including spirits and wines, water sports (non-motorised), airport transfers via shared shuttle or private car depending on tier, and often a spa credit worth $100 to $300 or one included couples treatment. European luxury packages typically include daily breakfast, a room upgrade subject to availability, one free night when booking 3 or more (4 for 3, 5 for 4), and a dining or spa credit worth $150 to $400 per stay. Hawaii packages usually include daily breakfast for two, resort credit worth $200 to $500, complimentary Wi-Fi, and self-parking. Cruise packages on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, or Norwegian typically bundle onboard credit ($200 to $600 per cabin), prepaid gratuities, and a beverage or dining package. Read the specific inclusions list on each package page before purchase since the bundled perks are the main value driver over booking direct with the hotel. When you book, open Luxury Escapes from the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page before you pay, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Refer a friend and both parties can receive $50 travel credit on eligible bookings above the minimum spend ($500 for packages, $750 for cruises typical). Referral credit can be used with LuxPlus+ member pricing on eligible packages. Verify current terms on the refer-a-friend page before sharing.

A 5-night stay at Sandals Barbados or Sandals Royal Barbados in a Luxury tier ocean-view suite typically retails direct at $4,800 to $6,400 for two adults all-inclusive across shoulder seasons (April to mid-June, September to mid-December). Equivalent Luxury Escapes packages historically list at $4,200 to $5,600 for the same room category with additional bundled perks including $250 to $400 in resort credit, one Red Lane Spa treatment per person, private airport transfers, and often a free night (6 for 5) on Memorial Day and Labor Day sales. Peak windows (Christmas week, President's Week, spring break mid-March to mid-April) run 30 to 45 percent above shoulder pricing on both channels. LuxPlus+ members typically get a further 5 to 10 percent off the LE public rate.

A 7-night Amalfi Coast package at a 5-star property such as Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi, Hotel Santa Caterina, or Le Sirenuse in Positano typically lists on Luxury Escapes at $5,400 to $9,800 for two adults across shoulder seasons (late April to mid-June, September through mid-October), with bundled daily breakfast, a Michelin-style dinner one evening, a private boat excursion or spa credit worth $300 to $500, and a room upgrade subject to availability. Booking the same room category direct with the hotel typically runs $6,800 to $12,500 for the equivalent 7 nights without the bundled perks. Peak July and August pricing lifts 25 to 40 percent above shoulder-season rates on both channels; November through March many Amalfi properties close entirely. LuxPlus+ member rates typically undercut public LE pricing by 5 to 12 percent on European luxury inventory. Go through the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Maui 5 to 7-night at Grand Wailea (Waldorf Astoria), Fairmont Kea Lani, or Andaz Maui at Wailea: $3,900 to $8,200 across shoulder windows (mid-April to early June, September to mid-December) with daily breakfast, $200 to $500 resort credit, self-parking, Wi-Fi. Waikiki 5 to 7-night at Halekulani, Ritz-Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach, or Royal Hawaiian: $2,800 to $6,400. Peak Christmas and New Year weeks lift 40 to 60 percent. LuxPlus+ saves an additional 5 to 10 percent. ShopBack Cashback tracks on the base package price via the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Open Luxury Escapes from the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page and complete the booking there, from package selection and guest details to payment. The Luxury Escapes page on ShopBack shows the live rate by package category (all-inclusive, cruise or European luxury). It typically confirms within 5 to 14 days of booking and becomes withdrawable after the package cancellation window closes, usually 30 to 60 days after travel.

Both run curated flash-sale luxury travel models. Luxury Escapes is Australian-founded with strong Pacific, Australia, Asia, and increasingly European inventory. Secret Escapes is UK-founded with deeper European and UK-outbound inventory. For US travellers going to Europe, both have overlapping packages; compare the same hotel or region across both. For Asia-Pacific luxury including Bali, Thailand, Fiji, and Australia stays, Luxury Escapes typically has more inventory. LuxPlus+ paid membership is the Luxury Escapes analogue to Secret Escapes' member-exclusive tier.

Luxury Escapes typically accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and PayPal on US bookings. Card benefits (travel insurance, purchase protection) may apply depending on the card used; check with your card issuer.

The codes Luxury Escapes itself supports are a friend's referral code, which you can use at checkout on your first booking, and Luxury Escapes gift card codes; its sales and LuxPlus+ member-only prices apply without any code. A referral code only works on hotels, resorts, tours and cruises, not on flights, insurance or experiences, and only if you have never booked with Luxury Escapes before. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page.

They are good value when you will use the bundled inclusions: Luxury Escapes negotiates packages directly with hotels, resorts and cruise lines and adds extras such as daily breakfast, hotel credit or onboard spend, so compare the same hotel, room and dates with those extras priced in rather than the bare room rate. Its Best Price Guarantee covers the rest: if you find a better price online for the same hotel with the same inclusions, send a screenshot and Luxury Escapes will match it once verified. Packages suit travelers who can fit the offer's travel dates, and cancellation terms vary by offer, so read them at checkout. LuxPlus+ members also get member-only prices and early access to offers. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page.

Going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book Luxury Escapes, so you pay less on the same booking. Open the Luxury Escapes page on ShopBack, click through to the Luxury Escapes US site, and complete the booking; ShopBack then returns cash on the eligible package price once the booking confirms. Member prices and sale prices still apply at checkout, so the trip you already chose ends up costing less. Check the live rate on this page before you book.

Your effective price is what you pay Luxury Escapes minus the cash ShopBack returns. The cash comes back as cash, not points or miles, so it works like a discount on the package price rather than credit you can only spend on another trip. To work out your effective price before you book, check the live rate on this page.

Luxury Escapes offers a Best Price Guarantee: if you find a better price for the same deal, meaning the same hotel with the same VIP inclusions as its package, it will match that price once verified. Take a screenshot of the website or a photo of the catalogue showing the better price and send it to Luxury Escapes by phone or online enquiry. Full conditions are in the Luxury Escapes terms. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page.

Luxury Escapes gift cards are bought online in a value you choose, sent by email, and redeemed by entering the unique code at checkout, which applies the card's value to the order. They suit someone planning a trip because the recipient picks the escape. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page.

Referral codes and referral credits only work on Luxury Escapes hotels, resorts, tours and cruises, not on flights, insurance or experiences. A referral code is only for someone who has never booked with Luxury Escapes, who enters it at checkout on their first trip. Referral credits sit in your Luxury Escapes account and expire 12 months from issue. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page.

Luxury Escapes runs customer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phone and live chat on its US site. LuxPlus+ members get priority access to that support through dedicated travel specialists.

Besides hotel and resort packages, the Luxury Escapes US site lists homes and villas, tours, cruises, flights, experiences, and transfers and car hire, with Ultra Lux as its collection of the most luxurious hotels, tours and cruises. Packages often bundle extras such as daily breakfast, hotel credit or onboard spend. Go through ShopBack before you book and check the live rate on this page for which bookings qualify.
