THE AWAY ATELIER · PRIVATE TRAVEL
Where You Go Matters. How You Go Changes Everything.
We plan the kind of trips that make staying home feel like a questionable life choice. Exceptional hotels, very good tables, places worth crossing an ocean for, and every detail handled by someone who knows what’s actually worth booking.
When it comes to travel, good taste matters. Knowing you matters more.
There are plenty of beautiful hotels in the world. Plenty of excellent restaurants, celebrated destinations, and lists telling you exactly where you’re supposed to go next.
But what makes a trip exceptional is rarely a checklist of the “best” things. It’s knowing which ones are right for you.
That’s why every trip at The Away Atelier begins with getting to know the person taking it. How you like to spend a morning. Whether you’d choose the corner table or the table everyone wants. How much you want planned and when you’d rather have nowhere to be.
Those details might seem small. To us, they’re the whole point.
Good travel starts with knowing what’s worth it.
Not every five-star hotel deserves five nights. Not every “must-see” needs to make the itinerary. And the best table in town might be the twelve-seat spot you’d never find on your own.
That’s where we come in.
At The Away Atelier, we design trips with equal parts expertise and instinct. We get to know your tastes, your pace, and what makes a trip feel genuinely great to you, then put our knowledge and global connections to work. The result is time away that feels personal, seamless, and very well spent.
Maybe it’s the trip you’ve been talking about for years. Maybe you only have four days and every intention of making them count. Or maybe the flights are booked and you just need somewhere exceptional to stay. However much or little you’ve figured out, we’ll meet you there with the right level of planning, a point of view you can trust, and a very good reason to start packing.
Some trips are good. Others make you want to do it all over again.

A Certain Way of Seeing the World.
We have a soft spot for the extraordinary, but an even greater appreciation for the understated. The quiet confidence of a beautifully appointed hotel. The pleasure of a table reserved just for you. The rare luxury of having nowhere else you need to be. To us, the finest experiences rarely need to announce themselves.
At The Away Atelier, our philosophy is rooted in discernment, individuality, and the belief that good taste is deeply personal. We favor substance over spectacle, thoughtful choices over endless options, and a level of service that feels intuitive rather than intrusive. Nothing excessive. Nothing ordinary. Just exceptionally good travel.
“I knew it would be beautiful. I didn’t expect to come home wishing I could do the exact same week all over again. Every day felt special without ever feeling overplanned. We ate incredibly well, saw places I never would have found on my own, and somehow still had time to sit by the water and do absolutely nothing. It was the rare group trip where I never once felt like I needed a vacation afterward."

You’ll Always Know What’s Happening
Without Having to Be the One Making It Happen.
We believe the planning experience should feel just as considered as the trip itself. That means clear communication, thoughtful recommendations, and no giant lists of options dumped in your inbox. We’ll explain what we recommend and why, ask for your input when we need it, and keep the process moving when we don’t.
By the time you leave, everything has a place, you know exactly where to find it, and the only thing left on your list is packing and getting excited about your time away.
Tell us where you want to go, what you love, and what would make this trip one you can’t stop talking about when you get home.
We turn everything we learned into a trip designed around you, then handle the bookings, reservations, logistics, and details that bring it to life.
By the time departure day arrives, everything is organized, confirmed, and ready to go. All that’s left for you to do is actually enjoy it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I reach out?
Six to nine months is ideal for most international trips. For honeymoons, milestone travel, and peak seasons, we recommend starting nine to twelve months ahead.
What happens after I inquire?
We’ll review your trip and, if it feels like a fit, schedule a complimentary consultation. Afterward, you’ll receive our recommended service, planning fee, and next steps.
Do you charge a planning fee?
Yes. Planning fees begin at $450 and vary depending on the length, complexity, and level of support your trip requires. Hotel-only bookings, however, are often complimentary if booked through one of our preferred partners.
Can you help if I’ve already started planning?
Absolutely. Tell us what you’ve already booked when you inquire and we’ll determine where we can step in and what still needs our attention.
The places you’ll go, the people you’ll meet, and the stories you’ll come home telling.
It all starts with a conversation. Tell us what’s been on your mind, from the place you’ve always wanted to see to the trip you haven’t quite dreamed up yet, and we’ll turn it into something that feels entirely your own.
