""It's not the destination, it's the journey"" - said every cheesy, road to redemption reality show presenter ever. But they might just be on to something, you know. When the journey involves switch-back turns through epic mountains, cruising along sweeping coastlines or trundling through rolling hills surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, it all sounds rather marvellous really. Then there's the accommodation; an Original Travel road trip will involve the very best luxury pit-stops available, from chic boutiques to opulent resorts, depending on your requirements. So if you're thinking about hitting the road and exploring some of the world's most epic scenery and culture, let us steer you (sorry) in the direction of a few of our favourites Road Trip Holidays...

In Vietnam, it’s full steam ahead for the slow travel revolution. At the forefront: The Vietage by Anantara. This luxury rail carriage, which winds its way along the coast between Hoi An and Nha Trang, gives passengers a taste of the golden age of train travel. For those of us who want to slow down and smell the roses (or rice paddies) along life’s journey, this undeniably romantic experience offers the perfect blend of pleasure and practicality.
13th April 2026 - Vietnam Slow Travel
We're partial to a travel daydream, and lately we've been particularly taken with the idea of a retro road trip through Europe, motoring through picture-perfect countryside, delving into the nooks and crannies of culture-filled cities and sampling the continent's best food and wine as we go. The problem? We can't decide exactly which delightful destination we want to see first, so in the spirit of not compromising, we've concocted the ultimate European road trip, taking in the best of France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Italy all in one epic journey.
