Music and travel go together like infinity pools and luxury vacation rentals. So, when it comes to enjoying the best of both, there’s a few destinations you’ll want to add to your list.
From the jazz quarter of New Orleans, to the poolside vibes of Ibiza, and reggae roots of Jamaica, follow us on a musical journey that might just inspire your next vacation.
Early 80s Detroit dance music is widely credited for the birth of electronica and dance. However, Germany’s contribution to the techno scene is equally as important. From early breakthrough artists such as Kraftwerk, to more recent DJs like Paul van Dyk, and not forgetting the infamous Love Festival, Germany remains a melting point of electronic inspiration. Today Berlin is the country’s capital of dance, and if you can leave the comfort of your luxury villa rental behind you, head to some of the top clubs for an unmissable music feast: Tresor, Watergate and most famously the iconic Berghain – a place so revered by locals it also goes by the name of ‘church’!
Travel broadens the mind, and in the case of music, it opened up the world to a new musical language: hip hop. Emerging from the Bronx in the 70s, the rap game is still very much alive throughout the city. Not far from the mansion rentals, bars and glitz of Soho is The Blond – a sophisticated upscale club, and hip-hop hotspot. But to go back to its roots, you need to visit Harlem, Queens and The Bronx and no-one does it better than the Hush Hip Hop Tour, for die-hard fans. Finally, if you find yourself in the Bronx, a visit to the Universal Hip Hop museum is a must.
From ambient house to rave, psychedelic trance to electronica, all genres under the dance umbrella-ella-ella, can be found in Ibiza – the spiritual home of house music. It’s impossible to come to this island without basking in its famous music scene –even some of the Ibiza villa rentals here have their own private club! Ibiza chillout music though is a vibe in its own right, and there’s nowhere better to experience this than Café del Mar and Café Mambo at sunset. It’s a spiritual experience, trust us.
When you’re ready for all that jazz head to New Orleans – the birthplace of this genre and legendary artists such as Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino and Irma Thomas. The city remains proudly at the forefront of jazz music, as seen from any of the big, small or impromptu clubs that line its high street – drop in any time of day and be prepared to experience some of the best talent in the world. With The Jazz Playhouse, Fritzel’s European Jazz Pub and the New Orleans Jazz Museum to discover, it will open your ears and heart to its soulful sounds.
Jamaica may be a small island, but it gifted the world with reggae and Bob Marley, forever confining it to the musical map. It continues to spit out raw talent and celebrate its reggae roots, with dancehall, mento and other forms emerging through the years. If you’re into your reggae and luxury, combine them both whilst staying in one of its waterside villa rentals. Just be sure to visit the Bob Marley museum, Bourbon Beach and Grizzly’s Plantation Cove to get the authentic experience, there’s nothing quite like it.
