Where are wealthy millennials vacationing this summer?
Despite rapidly escalating airline prices, they’re eschewing domestic travel in favor of international destinations where they can take in breathtaking sights, embark on enviable experiences or simply get in plenty of relaxation at their preferred resort.

And while cost might be an issue for those on budgets, millennials with substantial net worths are willing to spend more money in exchange for the adventure of a lifetime. We spoke with Andrew Satkowiak, executive vice president at The Luxury Travel Agency, to find out where this generation is heading and how much they’re happily spending on the journey.
Southern Italy
Satkowiak’s wealthy millennial clients have the south of Italy on their minds for summer travel. Two of the most sought-after locales include the Amalfi Coast and Capri, where days of sightseeing through local towns, feasting on delectable cuisine and the ability to set sail on boats await.
According to Satkowiak, his clients tend to book stays for two in this area that last about a week. Their average spend for accommodations and transfers is 15,000-20,000 euros, which shakes out to around $17,445-$23,292.

Costa Smeralda
Another Italian top destination among Satkowiak’s millennial clientele is Costa Smeralda, on the island of Sardinia. This hotspot, full of pristine beaches, lively markets and trekking paths, can be explored on foot, by bike or even while riding on horseback.
Here, Satkowiak said his clients spend four to five nights and spend around the same amount they would expense in the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
Mallorca
“Mallorca is creeping up this year into the top five most popular destinations,” Satkowiak said. “Our clients typically go for about four nights and spend around 10,000” euros.
That may be the smallest sum Satkowiak has quoted us yet, but it’s still pricey once converted to dollars: a cool $11,632 for less than a week’s stay in Spain's Balearic Islands.
