Tackle the festival season in style with the ultimate luxury festival guide.
Festivals were once associated with warm beer, mud and poorly pitched tents. No more. From couture fashion to champagne sprays, the festival scene has gone luxe. With yachts, yurts and Michelin starred dining on offer, there really is no other way to festival.

1. Coachella, Colorado Desert
It wouldn’t be an ultimate luxury festival guide without the original luxury festival experience – Coachella. With celebrities hanging on stage and off, this festival is a hotspot for star spotting, high fashion and epic performances.
The Safari Campsite is prime real estate for festival-goers with money to spend. You can choose from a spacious, fully furnished tent with a queen or double queen bed option, or a small, fully furnished villa with a front porch. For the crème de la crème of Coachella glamping, stay in a Resort Yurt. This is a completely customised experience which includes, airport transfers, mini fridge restocks with all your favourites, premium tickets, a bottle of champagne, daily breakfast and dinner reservations. When staying at the Safari Campsite, you’ll also have access to a private spa lounge and the Safari lounge for relaxing and socialising between sets.
Prices start at US $9,500 for the Safari Tents and US $25,000 for the Resort Yurts.

2. Anchored Festival, Mediterranean
There’s no rule saying a festival must be in a field. Instead, you can climb aboard the Vision of the Sea cruise ship for Anchored musical festival. This floating festival is hosted by Unique Cruises and features world class music acts, champagne-soaked pool parties and some of the most vibrant locations in Europe.
Across five nights, cruise from Barcelona to Corsica, Palma and Ibiza, and enjoy 24-hour room service, spa treatments, mini golf, rock climbing, sunset yoga, live music and more.
