Let’s start planning.

 

There’s a big, beautiful world out there - we can help you experience it more fully.

Ready to take your travel plans to the next level? We can help!

STEP 1 – GETTING TO KNOW YOU

We are planning your perfect trip, so the first step is for us to get to know you! We’ll start with a short questionnaire or schedule a call to understand your personality, travel style, preferences, or any special requests you might have.

Have something specific in mind? Great! Let us help you execute your vision with logistical advice and first-hand intel. Starting from scratch? We’ve got you covered with expertise, personal experience, and wonderful relationships across the globe.  

STEP 2 – DESIGn

Now it’s time for the fun part - we collaborate to design the trip of your dreams! We’ll take all the information you provided to design your custom and unique itinerary, recommending the best accommodations, activities, tours, and more to fit your budget and style. You can be as hands on (or hands off) as you’d like.

STEP 3 – REFINE

When your preliminary itinerary is ready, we will walk through it step-by-step, including all the ideas, inspiration, and insider tips that went into curating it. Based on your feedback, we can make tweaks to perfect your bespoke itinerary.

STEP 4 – BOOKING TIME

Next, we will move forward confirming all the details - both big and small - including international airline reservations (subject to a ticketing fee), hotel bookings, private guides, transfers, and excursions.

We will also provide lists of our favorite restaurants, and introduce you to the hotel concierges for help with restaurant reservations and spa appointments. If you would like more personalized recommendations or assistance with booking your concierge services, consider adding our full- service concierge package!

With our connections to our travel partners, we can get you VIP treatment, which often includes:

  • Daily breakfast.

  • $100 resort credit.

  • Upgrade upon arrival, subject to availability.

  • Early check-in / late check-out, subject to availability.

Approximately one month prior to travel, we finalize your itinerary, reconfirm all the details, and provide you with you final itinerary and documents in an easy-to-use app (usable on both iPhone and Android).

STEP 5 – BON VOYAGE!

You’re off on the getaway of a lifetime (every time). We are here to support you throughout your trip and have the local contacts to make your trip a smooth one.

STEP 6 – Keep in touch

We are eager to hear your stories upon your return.

  • Our team is on the move as much as possible, experiencing different destinations and strengthening our relationships with hotels and partners worldwide. Our goal is to get to know you as well as possible and use what we know about you to curate customized trips that suit your interests and style. We aim to build long-term relationships with each client in order to make travel planning stress-free and each trip a customized success - including industry perks like complimentary breakfast, upgrades, resort / cruise line credits, and VIP status.

  • MavenLuxe specializes in high-end travel and works primarily with four- and five-star hotels, resorts, boutique properties, villas, and safari camps. On average, the hotels we specialize in begin at $750-1,000 per room, per night depending upon the destination, time of year, and local events. Full package ground services (car/driver, guiding, unique experiences) typically begin at $500 per person, per day. We approach vacation planning like assembling a puzzle, taking your budget into account to curate a well-rounded travel experience within your comfort zone. Changes in budget midway through planning can result in delays in securing optimal accommodations and guides, potentially leading to mismatches with our luxury partners. We kindly request that you carefully consider your budget before expressing interest in collaborating with a MavenLuxe advisor.

  • We offer a comprehensive service that allows us to provide a well-rounded travel experience. When we are only booking activities, it can cause inconsistencies in the quality of your itinerary. At MavenLuxe, we stand behind a high level of service and this only comes when we are able to create your custom trip from start to finish. For this reason, we are not able to work on activity-only trip requests but hope to have the opportunity to work with you on a full itinerary in the future!

  • We have a comprehensive network of vetted villa and rental home partners around the world, with exclusive access to private listings. We do not work with rental websites such as AirBnb or VRBO. We only use accredited local properties that we trust are able to maintain a strict level of quality to ensure that you have an incredible homestay experience.

  • We are able to keep our direct fees to clients low as we are paid a commission on hotel and cruise bookings. While we are more than happy for you to utilize points / miles for flights (which is often the best value for your points anyway), we do ask that when committing to our services, you allow us to make and manage your hotel bookings to ensure a seamless stay for you.

  • We are generally unable to provide component pricing due to the dynamic pace of booking travel and the confidential contracted rates of our on-the-ground luxury travel suppliers. If itemization is required, please discuss this with your MavenLuxe advisor before starting the planning process.
