Top 25 Must-Do Experiences for Your Summer 2025 Bucket List

Travel in Style

1. Charter a Private Yacht Through the Greek Isles – Think Mykonos sunrises and secret coves in Paros. The Mediterranean is pure magic in June.

2. Luxury Safari in Botswana – I’ve had my eye on this one: five-star tents, sunset game drives, and candlelit bush dinners.

3. Say 'I Do' (or Just Attend) in Lake Como – Even if you’re just a guest, nothing screams 'summer romance' like an Italian villa by the lake.

4. Wander Lavender Fields in Hokkaido, Japan – Quiet luxury meets floral fantasy. Don’t forget the matcha gelato.

5. Stay at a Desert-Chic Resort in Saudi Arabia – AlUla is redefining high-end eco travel. Trust me, it's the new Marrakech.
