Amanda Slade

After 28 years of creating luxury holidays for my clients, I understand that the concept of luxury really is in the eye of the beholder. For some it means relaxing on a secluded beach in Thailand. For others a luxury escape might conjure thoughts of tracking gorillas in Uganda or perhaps a week in a remote villa in Northern Italy. Or maybe enjoying the butler services at an out-of-this-world luxury resort in the Maldives. Not everyone’s idea of a luxury holiday is the same and that’s okay. In fact, it should be celebrated. Really, what it all comes down to is creating memories that can be enjoyed long after it’s time to come home. My goal is to build the perfect holiday for you, whatever that might look like. A holiday where you can create those memories through incredible and unique experiences that are bespoke to your preferences and interests. I have my own collection of very special travel memories from a lifetime of wonderful and diverse adventures, and I understand how important those memories can be. I smell, breathe and taste my way through everything I see and do. I make sure that I experience it all in panoramic detail. This is how I approach my own life and travels. But more importantly, it’s also how I think when I’m designing your perfect holiday. Travel planning without the stress. Exciting bits only. I’ll be there with you right from the initial enquiry, no matter how sure or undecided you are on the details. We’ll figure them out together. Leading up to your adventure, I’ll be on hand to answer any questions, to help with any special requests and to make sure that you have everything you need before you set off. “I can't get enough of the stress Amanda takes away from you in planning your dream trip. You would think she was coming with you, it has to be that perfect. She confirms all the details with you every step of the way and is on the phone whenever you need her.” – Valued client And when you get back, we’ll have a chat about how it all went. No two holidays are the same you see, so every conversation is as new and interesting to me as the last. My client portfolio is diverse, from young professional couples and old friend groups to retirees and solo adventurers. Their holiday preferences are just as eclectic, interesting and unique as they are. When we speak, I not only take on board your feedback, but I also love hearing all about what you got up to. I feel like I’m there with you, and it really is the best part of the job for me. Whether you have a beach holiday, or a city break in mind, a private charter yacht or an expedition cruise, or just about anything else, I can help. I’ve spent my career curating with the best travel industry partners from all over the world. I can create your perfect holiday, whatever that looks like. Travel with care Responsible travel, sustainable travel and animal welfare in tourism are all incredibly important to me. Caring about the impact of travel has on people, animals and the environment is at the heart of what I do. And I really mean that. Travelling for leisure has given us the opportunity to experience and learn about new people and places. It has brought people together and created new levels of cultural understanding that never existed previously. When done the right way, I believe that travel is a force for good in the world. And I want to contribute to that force for good. In my personal time, I run a registered charity for abused cats and dogs in Serbia and the wider Balkan region. One of my personal favourite charities is War Child. War Child works alongside music artists in creating music and art to help children deal with the trauma of war, they raise awareness and funds for children suffering from the brutal effects of war. I actively look for ways to contribute to causes and communities. Organising holidays for my clients gives me an excellent opportunity to do this. Wherever possible I will always strive to work with suppliers that have policies around these issues and support charities in the regions that they sell. I am also selective on experiences, destinations and properties that I book. My mission I love getting out there and experiencing the world for myself. Over the years my travels have taken me to numerous diverse, interesting and wonderful destinations. From luxury spa breaks to intrepid bush safaris, from foodie city trips to remote log cabins, I love it all. My aim is to create your dream holiday through careful listening and understanding. I want to know what it is that makes your ideal holiday perfect. And I will always do my best to achieve that end goal. I pay attention to the minute detail and leave no stone unturned. Most importantly, I will always strive to deliver on your dream. I work in partnership with the Travel PA group, part of Sunset Travel Ltd. A long-haul luxury tour operator, Sunset Travel was established in 1980 and is fully ATOL (2886) and ABTA (57032) bonded.

However, I chose to use Amanda for a trip to Dubai with my family in 2018 and the level of service she provides is priceless. We have booked Dubai several times, a three centre Hawaii, an Island-hopping Greek holiday, a wonderful multi centre Turkey trip and a New York city break and all were amazing.” – Valued client
