Wildlife watching in the Gal\u00e1pagos. Honeymooning in the Maldives.<\/p>\n<p>But have you ever wondered how expensive these trips are in actuality? Wonder no more, because the team at travel insurance company SquareMouth have crunched the numbers for you.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at reported trip costs from more than 100,000 travel insurance sales, surveys of more than 6,000 customers, and data from sources like Google Flights and Kayak hotels, the expense index has revealed the 15 most costly destinations around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, remote and isolated destinations top the list, as these spots are harder to reach, more expensive to supply, and often cater to luxury and adventure travellers.<\/p>\n<p>Certain types of travel are also more expensive \u2013 with polar and expedition trips being the most expensive, followed by island and beach destinations then safari and wildlife adventures.<\/p>\n<h2>The most expensive holiday destinations for 2026<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on visiting Greenland this year, be prepared to spend a pretty penny on your vacation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the data, the average trip cost per day in Greenland is a whopping $1,171 (\u20ac1,027), while the cost to rent a car stands at $110 (\u20ac97) per day. <\/p>\n<p>A weeknight \u2013 not even a weekend \u2013 hotel stay will set you back $227 (\u20ac200), and a dinner out at an inexpensive restaurant is $36.03 (\u20ac31.60).<\/p>\n<p>Next up is the British Virgin Islands, where the weeknight hotel cost is $1,137 (\u20ac997), and the average trip cost per day is $925 (\u20ac811).<\/p>\n<p>Coming in third is French Polynesia, where the trip cost per day is $756 (\u20ac663), and the weeknight hotel cost is $1,382 (\u20ac1,212).<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the top five are Antarctica, where the flight cost is $1,899 (\u20ac1,665) and the trip cost per day is $1,511 (\u20ac1,325); and the Maldives, where the trip cost per day is $1,072 (\u20ac940) and the weeknight hotel cost is $1,249 (\u20ac1,096).<\/p>\n<h3>The top 15 most expensive to travel to in 2026<\/h3>\n<p>1.
