Our Story
Avelia didn’t begin in a boardroom. It began on the road.
I was living in Portugal, taking long drives through quiet vineyards and along the coast. That’s where the idea took root:
What if travel could feel like this - thoughtful, grounded, inspired by real places and real moments?
Before Portugal, I lived in the Netherlands and Ireland each chapter teaching me how to live more slowly, connect more deeply, and see more clearly. But it wasn’t until I made Spain my home that Avelia found its roots.
Today, Avelia designs bespoke travel experiences across Spain, France, and Italy, rooted in cultural connection, authenticity, and effortless luxury.
Luxury Travel, Thoughtfully Designed
Avelia isn’t about rushed itineraries or pre-packaged tours. We take time to understand what matters most to you and create journeys that feel personal, grounded, and inspired by the places you visit.
Each trip is tailored with care—featuring exceptional stays, regional cuisine, and exclusive experiences that reflect the soul of each destination.
Our Commitment to Responsible Travel
We believe luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.
That’s why we:
Avoid overcrowded hotspots in favor of hidden gems
Collaborate with local artisans, guides, and communities
Prioritize stays that are environmentally and socially responsible
Our Sustainable Travel Framework guides how we plan each journey, prioritizing local impact, cultural respect, and environmental responsibility.
Our story is just beginning, and we’d be honored for you to be a part of it. Let Avelia Travel create a journey that’s uniquely yours — one that stays with you long after the experience ends.
