Travel, for the rich, is more a statement of lifestyle rather than a hobby. For India’s millionaires, vacations are about much more than sightseeing. Think
private jets, Michelin-starred dinners, penthouse views, and boutique shopping. A recent Hurun survey reveals the places India’s rich are most drawn to in 2025. Here are the top 10 international destinations loved by Indian millionaires:
Singapore
Singapore tops the list this year. Sleek hotels like Marina Bay Sands and Capella, Michelin-starred restaurants, buzzing nightlife, and the unmatched shopping of Orchard Road keep it firmly on the luxury map. Add to that its safety and easy access from India, and it’s clear why Singapore is the go-to getaway.
United Kingdom
London remains a favourite with its historic charm, luxury shopping at Bond Street, and timeless experiences like afternoon tea at The Ritz. For those looking beyond the city, the English countryside offers classic retreats. The UK also doubles as a convenient hub to reach the rest of Europe.
Switzerland
Few places balance natural beauty and luxury as seamlessly as Switzerland. Whether it’s skiing in St. Moritz, spa breaks in Gstaad, or lakefront dining in Geneva, the Swiss promise both privacy and prestige. It’s no surprise that millionaires rank it as one of their most exclusive escapes.
France
From couture houses in Paris to the sun-soaked glamour of the French Riviera, France is the global capital of luxury. Indian travellers with deep pockets are drawn to its fashion, fine dining, and cultural richness, making it a timeless pick.
Greece
Santorini sunsets, Mykonos beach clubs, and Athens’ historical sites make Greece irresistible. The mix of cliffside villas, boutique hotels, and cultural depth gives millionaires both indulgence and inspiration on a single trip.
Australia
For those willing to travel farther, Australia delivers big. Sydney’s harbour views, wine trails in the Barossa Valley, and the Great Barrier Reef are just the beginning. Its mix of adventure, luxury resorts, and vibrant cities makes it a rewarding destination.
United States
From New York’s high-energy buzz and Broadway to Los Angeles’ Hollywood glamour and Miami’s coastal luxury, the US offers something for every taste. It’s a destination where business, lifestyle, and leisure all blend seamlessly.
Japan
Japan’s appeal lies in its contrasts. Tokyo dazzles with cutting-edge modernity, while Kyoto soothes with temples and tea houses. Add luxury ryokans, Michelin dining, and unmatched hospitality, and it’s a favourite for travellers who value detail and refinement.
United Arab Emirates
For Indians, Dubai remains a natural choice: just a short flight away, with world-class hotels, designer shopping, and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Beyond leisure, it also offers tax advantages and investment opportunities, adding to its appeal.
Maldives
When privacy tops the priority list, the Maldives delivers. Overwater villas, private islands, and turquoise lagoons make it the ultimate barefoot luxury escape. It’s where India’s millionaires head for undisturbed rest and picture-perfect settings.
