A luxury lifestyle magazine is a printed or online magazine marketed to the ultra-affluent, although those that aspire to become so may also read it.

Luxury lifestyle magazines typically feature high-value and aspirational products like sports cars, jewelry, mechanical watches, real estate, yachts, private jets and exotic vacations.

Luxury lifestyle magazines usually boast of high production values in order to differentiate themselves from other lifestyle magazines.

Some print editions of luxury magazines are not available off the shelf, but have their circulation controlled either by subscription or by membership to a related club or organization. Companies operating in the luxury industry often publish their own magazines in print and online for their customers, meant to publicize their brands and find new prospects. Recently there has been a greater proliferation of luxury lifestyle 'magazine' websites.
