As travellers increasingly seek active, immersive experiences beyond the traditional beach holiday, G Adventures is expanding its fast-growing Geluxe Collection with 16 new trips, bringing the collection to 82. Among the latest additions are seven new coastal adventures, created for travellers looking to experience the world’s most spectacular shorelines through active exploration, standout accommodation and meaningful local connections, rather than simply relaxing on the sand.
The expansion comes as demand continues to grow for coastal holidays that offer more than just beach time. Research conducted by G Adventures found that travellers feel happiest when spending time by the coast, with “time on a beach” ranking first and being “in or on the water” ranking second. Rather than simply visiting the coast, these new itineraries immerse travellers in destinations shaped by the sea through hiking, kayaking, wildlife encounters, local cuisine and meaningful cultural experiences.
Originally launched to fill a gap in the market for travellers seeking a more elevated style of adventure travel, the Geluxe Collection has quickly become one of G Adventures’ most popular product ranges. The collection combines active, small-group adventures with premium accommodation, immersive food experiences and community tourism that brings each destination to life. Every itinerary also features Geluxe Collection’s signature OMG Day, where travellers choose between two equally memorable experiences, and an OMG Stay – at least one exceptional accommodation chosen for its character, location or sense of place.
“Geluxe has become one of our biggest success stories because it delivers exactly what many travellers have been looking for – active days balanced with exceptional places to stay, incredible food and genuine local connection,” says Yves Marceau, VP of Product at G Adventures. “These new coastal adventures are a natural evolution of the collection. They showcase some of the world’s most beautiful coastlines while giving travellers the opportunity to experience the people, wildlife and cultures that make these destinations truly special.”
New itineraries in the Geluxe Collection:
A brand new destination for G Adventures, this trip proves there’s far more to Malta than a traditional fly-and-flop escape.

Highlights include an OMG Day hike through Gozo’s countryside to the picturesque bay of Xlendi and three unforgettable OMG Stay nights at the five-star Ta’ Cenc Hotel & Spa, dramatically perched above the island’s rugged coastline.
An eight-day adventure starts from £2,549 per person.

An OMG Day lets travellers choose between a classic levada hike or an e-bike adventure along the south coast, while authentic food and wine experiences, local markets and family-run vineyards bring Madeira’s rich culture to life.
