Doing the Camino de Santiago organized in luxury

Doing the Camino de Santiago VIP, staying in luxury hotels and having high standing services that allow you to enjoy the experience even more, is not being less of a pilgrim, nor does it detract from the value of the pilgrimage. It is true that every pilgrimage involves a sacrifice, which is associated with the inconvenience of traveling.

There are pilgrims who demand a high-end organized trip and so while traveling the Jacobean route they choose to stay in luxury accommodations looking for the comfort of top quality hotels.

Camino de Santiago organized luxury

One of the most demanded VIP routes is the Camino de Santiago from Sarria sleeping in luxury hotels. In it, pilgrims relax after finishing their stage in high standing stays, enjoying services and a gastronomic offer of the highest quality.

It must be taken into account that not everyone undergoes the same degree of sacrifice when they go on pilgrimage. The simple fact of visiting the Cathedral of Santiago is enough to show devotion to the Jacobean culture and tradition. Everyone, to a greater or lesser extent, makes an effort to do the Camino de Santiago.

For some, this effort is fundamentally physical and for that reason, many pilgrims refuse to give up the burden of their backpacks. The austerity and discomfort of the hostels is also a sign of devotion and, therefore, many people do not want to do the Camino de Santiago staying in hotels.

However, the expense associated with the pilgrimage is also considered a sign of commitment to the pilgrimage. He who makes greater physical effort, makes less economic sacrifice and vice versa.

Which pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago VIP

Since the Middle Ages, we can find pilgrims who had all kinds of comforts to complete the feat. It may not have been the luxury Camino de Santiago that we understand today, but for the time, it was the same.

During the Middle Ages

King Alfonso II, known as the first pilgrim, was supported by servants along the route when he completed the Primitive Way. The same happened with the Holy Queen, in her two pilgrimages along the Portuguese Way.

It is true that at that time only royalty, illustrious and bourgeois could afford to do the Camino de Santiago without so much effort. Fortunately, nowadays, it is not more affordable to do the Camino de Santiago sleeping in luxury hotels, and enjoy high standard services.

At the present time

The growing fame of some Jacobean routes has led to the proliferation of a multitude of high-end services aimed at a public that wishes to make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in a less arduous way.

The idea of austerity and suffering is a Catholic conception. However, nowadays, on the Jacobean routes you can find a multitude of pilgrims who do not do the Camino de Santiago for religious reasons, but for spiritual, touristic or sporting reasons.

They are not interested in putting all their effort into carrying a backpack on their backs or spending bad nights in pilgrim hostels. They prefer to use their energies to enjoy the charms of the Camino de Santiago and to live an authentic luxury experience, whether enjoying a massage, relaxing in a spa or the high quality gastronomy offered by the pilgrimage route.

For other people, because of their advanced age or because they suffer from some kind of physical problem, doing the Camino de Santiago in the most austere way would not be advisable. The availability of certain services that facilitate the pilgrimage makes the luxury organized Camino de Santiago an accessible route for everyone.

Doing the Camino de Santiago sleeping in hotels

The first thing that allows you to live a luxury Camino de Santiago is to stay in hotels. Forget the hostel rooms, with hundreds of pilgrims, where sometimes it is impossible to sleep.

Staying in hotels on the Camino de Santiago is not only synonymous with quality rest. It also means enjoying evenings in charming accommodations that invite you to relax and rest after each stage.

Of course, everything depends on the quality of the hotels or rural houses where you stay. To ensure that you live a VIP experience on the Camino de Santiago, it is best to leave the booking of hotels in the hands of professionals, like us.

Traveling light

There is no greater pleasure than traveling light. We agree that when you go on trekking routes, where there is no infrastructure, walking with a backpack of 6 to 10 kilos on your back is not the end of the world.

However, if you can get to your accommodation, at the end of each stage and find your backpack there, why spend your energy to carry that weight? So do not hesitate any longer of the advantages offered by this exclusive service of the Camino de Santiago organized VIP.

But remember that in order to enjoy the backpack transfer service and have to pick it up at a hotel where you are not staying, because you have decided to use the network of hostels, it is necessary that the accommodation has a reception.

You can hire this type of services on your own or you can leave both the organization of hotel reservations and the coordination of the shipment and arrival of your luggage to an agency specialized in the Camino de Santiago, like us. Contact us for more information about our services.
