Great Escapes: Road trips

The world's finest self-drive holidays

Content

Few forms of travel offer the freedom and flexibility of a tailor-made road trip. At Wexas, we design journeys that let you set your own pace while uncovering the world’s most scenic routes and cultural treasures. Whether you’re chasing coastal views, mountain passes, or vineyard-dotted valleys, our bespoke itineraries ensure every mile is memorable.

In Europe, we take you to the pristine alpine scenery of Switzerland, where winding roads lead to storybook towns and panoramic mountain passes, and explore Portugal’s wine routes, from the hidden treasures of Alentejo to the Douro Valley’s terraced vineyards. Then, for lovers of la dolce vita, our Italian road trips combine culture-packed cities, glorious coastlines, majestic lakes and gastronomic delights.

Further afield, there’s the chance to explore the USA’s legendary highways, or head to Canada to discover the maritime beauty of the Atlantic coast or the dramatic peaks and turquoise lakes of Alberta. We also pick out some spectacular routes in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Wherever you choose, every itinerary is crafted to your preferences, with handpicked stays and insider recommendations.
