It’s often true that our travel preferences change as we age, and there’s no better example than Empty Nesters, or as some now say, Retired Parents. The kids are gone, which opens up many different possibilities to rekindle romance, reconnect with friends, and seek out new adventures. While past vacations have been planned around school schedules and focused on kids’ activities, now you have the freedom to travel in comfort and style wherever and whenever you want.
According to a 2024 Trip Advisor “Travel Through Life” report, 63% of Empty Nesters rank travel as one of their top three areas for spending. And 73% plan on spending this time reconnecting with their partners/spouses. With more time to be flexible and more discretionary income, these couples are embracing the chance to plan unique travel experiences too. That’s where our LiTRV – Luxury in Travel team comes in. We help curate customized memorable road trip experiences in the finest luxury
Why Rent a Luxury Motorcoach?
When you charter a luxury motorcoach with LiTRV, you will experience unparalleled comfort and style. No more forgetting something important back at the hotel. Much like a luxury hotel suite, a luxury motorcoach features the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, and even a dishwasher. Some motorcoaches have electric fireplaces, heated floors, and state-of-the-art entertainment centers. There’s also plenty of room for your pets to stretch out and relax and ample room for luggage. All luxury motorcoaches have Smart TVs throughout and WIFI access. And because all short- and long-term charters include a private driver, you and your family or friends can relax throughout your journey. When your trip includes overnight stays, we will arrange for your private driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
Rediscover the Joy of Travel
Sure, you may have taken short road trips here and there over the years, but when was the last time you and your spouse or partner really got away from the hustle and bustle of life? You may have talked about a trip like this for years, but just never had the time to make it happen.
Think of our LiTRV team as your personal concierge. We’ll work closely with you to customize your itinerary for a smooth, comfortable, luxury travel experience. We can reserve a premier site with breathtaking views at a luxury RV resort, or we can arrange for you to stay at a world-renowned resort and spa. And because we provide bespoke services throughout your trip, you have the flexibility to modify your travel plans, even after your journey has begun. Our concierge services also extend beyond your travel in the motorcoach. Our team can arrange, for example, for a private tour of wineries or distilleries or organize other unique travel experiences.
Here are a few vacation ideas to consider:
Paso Robles / Central Coast Wine Country (California)
Now that you have the freedom to unwind and reflect on this new, exciting phase of your life, consider visiting the world-renowned wine region of Paso Robles in northern SLO CAL (San Luis Obispo County). Located on the Salinas River, about 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo, the city is known for its abundance of wineries, hot springs, production of olive oil, almond orchards, beekeepers and quaint farms.
Spend the day exploring downtown Paso Robles, where you’ll find a charming park surrounded by farm-to-table restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries and fine dining restaurants. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can also arrange for you to attend a private tasting at an upscale winery, take a hot air balloon ride for an aerial view of the vibrant scenery, or even stomp on grapes.
Autumn is a great time to visit, especially since October is Harvest Wine Month, but many people like to visit in the spring, when the vineyards are lush and green.
Our LiTRV team can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Sun Outdoors — Central Coast Wine Country (formerly Wine Country RV Resort / Paso Robles). This pet-friendly property offers spacious motorcoach sites, a pool, playground, pet area, fitness center and picnic spots.
Or, if you crave an ocean view and a few days getting pampered at a spa, we can check availability at nearby luxury resorts, such as the Cliffs Hotel and Spa in Pismo Beach, some 40 minutes from Paso Robles. Perched high on a cliff, the upscale resort features sweeping views of the ocean, an outdoor pool, a full-service spa, champagne brunches and other plush amenities. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the resort for a few days and then pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.
Sedona & Verde Valley (Arizona)
It’s hard to describe the awe of seeing Sedona for the first time, and even if you and your spouse or partner have visited there before, it is such a magical place, every visit brings opportunities for inner reflection and a renewed sense of peace.
Known for its dramatic, towering red rock formations, rugged buttes, canyons, and unique high desert vegetation, Sedona sits on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, a massive geologic region that spans the Four Corners states—Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
An easy, two-hour trip from Phoenix, Sedona is a popular spiritual destination, famous for its energy vortex sites, which attract visitors seeking healing and meditation. The town features a charming main street filled with art galleries, shops and restaurants. Throughout Sedona, there are breathtaking views of famous landmarks like Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock.
With a mild climate, many people choose to spend their days outside hiking, biking, or taking a jeep or helicopter tour. Nearby Oak Creek Canyon is a scenic river gorge located between the pine forests of Flagstaff and the red rock formations of Sedona. On a warm day, many people enjoy cooling off at Slide Rock National Park, which features a natural rock water slide.
With its natural beauty and mystical charm, Sedona is also known as a spa and culinary destination. There are many five-star resorts nestled in the hills or by the creek that provide full-service spa treatments that focus on holistic wellness, personalized treatments, and indigenous healing practices like crystal grottos and vortex energy work. Many of these resorts and independent fine dining restaurants throughout Sedona have attracted renowned chefs.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can explore availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Verde Ranch RV Resort in Camp Verde, about 30 minutes from Sedona. The property features spacious motorcoach sites, a heated pool and hot tubs, pickleball courts, a fitness center, on-site activities, and river access. We can also check availability at luxury resorts, such as L’Auberge de Sedona or Enchantment Resort. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the resort for a few days and pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.
Charleston & the Lowcountry (South Carolina)
The Lowcountry is a low-lying, coastal region of South Carolina defined by its flat geography, extensive marshes, rivers, and islands, and its rich, unique culture that blends Southern traditions with significant West African influences from the Gullah Geechee people. The area is known for its historic charm, world-class Southern cuisine, large plantations, coastal drives and waterways, and a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle centered around the water.
Founded in 1670, Charleston is a port city that is defined by its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel antebellum houses, particularly in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts. The Battery promenade and Waterfront Park both overlook Charleston Harbor. The city’s downtown area is also home to more than 2,500 historic buildings. Some of the architectural styles include Art Deco, Classical Revival, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Victorian.
Our LiTRV concierge can explore availability at luxury RV resorts, such as Hilton Head National RV Resort in Bluffton, which is in the Lowcountry and about an hour from Charleston. The pet-friendly property offers 7 landscaped acres of spectacular views of pristine fairways across a beautiful lagoon. The top-notch amenities include a beach access pool with a lazy river, a hot tub, a grill serving Southern favorites by award-winning chefs, lounges, a tiki bar, fire pits, a clubhouse, a playground and many hiking trails.
Whether you want to rekindle romance during a sunset wine tasting in California’s Central Coast, reconnect with nature while hiking the red-rocks of Sedona, or reflect on this new phase of your life as Empty Nesters while enjoying the quiet riverside views of the Lowcountry, consider chartering a luxury motorcoach for a truly unique vacation.
