If you’re going on a long-haul trip, you might as well make the most out of it. Now, airlines like Icelandair, TAP Air Portugal, Turkish Airlines, and Emirates are introducing extended layover programs to maximize your travels. Perhaps you are going to Paris or Amsterdam, you can actually stopover in Iceland or the Azores for up to one week. You can also do it similarly with Istanbul and Dubai if you’re flying to Asia. Say goodbye to the awkward four hour layover and hello to a bonus vacation—and luxe layover trips.
Iceland
Located in downtown Reykjavik, this property blends convenience with luxury for a stay that is in the middle of the bustling, historic city. Modern décor and contemporary amenities make for premium comfort.
One of the most iconic and serene spa hotels in the world is, of course, at the famed Blue Lagoon. Head here for endless pampering.
Also dubbed the “5 Million Star Hotel,” this is an entirely unique stay that is a little more than an hour away from Reykjavik. This might be as magical as it gets.
If you’re planning on taking a drive to some of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls and black sand beaches, make a stop at Hotel Rangá. The small, luxury resort is intimate, and it is home to a gourmet restaurant serving modern Nordic cuisine.
Azores
Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort
Situated on top of a cliff, Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort is a hotel unlike any other in the world. With world-class dining, private pools, tubs, and balconies complementing the artful rooms, and a local surf shack on site, the hotel has everything you could ever want in an island vacation.

We love a Four Seasons hotel, so it’s to no surprise that this is one of our must-stays in Istanbul. Breathtaking panoramic views await at this renovated 19th century Ottoman palace.
Six Senses Kocatas Mansions, Istanbul
Two classic mansions come together to form the Six Senses Kocatas Mansions. Located in the Sariyer district, the property has stunning water-facing views and luxe accommodations.

Just off of Dubai’s coast, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort is a secluded beach retreat. Six award-winning restaurants, over-water villas, and a hammam spa are only a few of the property’s endless luxury features.
This state-of-the-art experiential resort goes far beyond that of a hotel. With elegant accommodations, culinary hotspots, nightlife, and wellness experiences, Atlantis The Royal has it all.
