When the temperatures drop, the world’s elite don’t hibernate — they elevate. For ultra-high-net-worth individuals, December isn’t just a time to retreat from the cold — it’s a season to indulge, explore, and live at the height of global luxury.
From desert decadence to snow-dusted sophistication, here’s where the world’s wealthiest are wintering this season — and how Penthouse Queen’s bespoke concierge services ensure their every whim is met.

Luxury Temperature: 26°C
