Not everything described as luxury delivers an exceptional experience.
The Luxury Index by Sparks Luxury Travel is our independent evaluation of the hotels, resorts, journeys, vessels and experiences shaping luxury travel around the world.
We travel, stay, sail, fly and experience them ourselves—looking beyond reputation, design and price to understand what truly matters: exceptional service, thoughtful details, authenticity, consistency, personalization and a genuine sense of place.
Our purpose is simple: To help travelers understand what is truly worth experiencing
