Luxury Travel for the Modern Family: Making Memories with Tailored Holidays

At Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, we believe that every family deserves holidays designed around them—not just a destination, but a deeply personal experience. For modern families seeking more than just a break, tailor-made luxury travel offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, adventure, and meaningful connection.


Whether it’s a beachside villa with a private chef or a cultural escape with child-friendly guided tours, we specialise in crafting bespoke holidays that reflect your family’s interests and values. Our insider access to the world’s most prestigious hotel groups and suppliers ensures that each detail of your journey is perfectly aligned with your expectations.


Personalised Holidays That Reflect Your Family


No two families are the same—and nor should their holidays be. Our tailor-made itineraries are crafted to suit your individual preferences, taking into account everyone’s pace, needs, and travel styles. From parents seeking quiet luxury and fine dining to children yearning for exploration and discovery, we balance it all effortlessly.


We work with elite hotel brands like Aman, Rosewood, and Six Senses to offer everything from interconnecting suites and child-specific amenities to private nannies, wellness retreats, and family-friendly adventure excursions. Whether you're travelling with toddlers, teenagers, or a mix of generations, we ensure your holiday flows with ease, elegance, and plenty of memory-making moments.


According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, family travel promotes social bonds and creates lasting cultural connections.


Themed Escapes with a Personal Touch


From safari lodges in South Africa to alpine chalets in Switzerland, our themed holidays add depth and meaning to your travel. Interested in learning together as a family? We’ll organise private art workshops in Tuscany or hands-on conservation experiences in Costa Rica. Craving action? How about an exclusive yacht charter in the Greek Isles or ski-in/ski-out luxury in the French Alps?


Whatever the theme—culinary, wellness, nature, or sport—we match you with properties and experiences that reflect your family’s passions, while ensuring effortless comfort at every stage.


Financial Protection: Peace of Mind, Built In


We understand that luxury is about more than just elegance—it’s about trust. That’s why all our holidays are fully protected through ATOL and ABTOT bonding. You can book with confidence knowing your investment is safe, your itinerary secure, and your support team available whenever needed.


From the moment you enquire to the moment you return home, we’re with you every step of the way—ready to resolve, rebook, or refine as necessary.


Service That Anticipates Your Needs


Expect service that’s proactive, not just reactive. Whether it’s private transfers that meet your flight on the tarmac, child-friendly butlers who remember your little ones’ routines, or multilingual guides who make cultural discovery a joy for every age, we take care of the details so you don’t have to.


Behind every smooth experience is a dedicated Awake & Wander travel designer with one aim: to make this the easiest holiday you’ve ever taken.



Our Take:

"The best family holidays feel effortless—because they’ve been thoughtfully designed behind the scenes. That’s where we come in."
