I’ve had a mocktail served in a crystal coupe at 3,000 feet above the Maldives. I’ve soaked in a cedar tub while snow fell on the Alps. I’ve paid $1,200 a night for a room with no minibar.

Luxury isn’t the thread count. It’s the silence when no one offers you a drink.

Look for:

  • Spas where “detox” means infrared, not juice cleanses.
  • Private chefs who plate cacao ceremonies, not champagne pairings.
  • Helicopter transfers to places where the only buzz is altitude.

Book the villa that forgets alcohol exists. The rest is just a view.
