Beckonaire is a boutique luxury travel agency devoted to the art of experience design. We craft sophisticated journeys for discerning travelers in search of the extraordinary.

Beckonaire believes in ultra-personalized, mindful travel.

We operate at the crossroads of luxury and cultural immersion, curating trips that aren’t just comfortable and beautiful, but also fun and transformative.

We view travel as an invitation to indulge, discover, and celebrate—wherever you are—with a sense of wonder and a splash of panache.

  • Beckonaire itineraries are expertly crafted to consider the flow, arc, and pace of each trip with exacting attention. Our trips are tailor-made and exclusive by design.

  • As members of the highly selective Serandipians consortium, we provide VIP access to the world’s most coveted hotels, with a focus on boutique and independently-owned properties.

  • No destination is too remote, and no dream is too lofty. Beckonaire adventures are equal parts bold and elegant.

Be beckoned.

 

Travel with us.

  • High-profile executives, upwardly-mobile professionals, busy families, happy retirees, honeymooners, avid adventurers, and everyone in between. The common denominator: you’re ready to invest in unforgettable experiences, and don’t have the bandwidth or expertise to do it yourself.

  • Above all, we care about our clients and are obsessed with solving the logistical puzzles to make your trip as perfect as possible. Our relationships with industry aces and suppliers (whom we’ve personally vetted) enable us to curate experiences with flair, flawless execution, and a human touch. When one trip ends, we build on it to make the next one even better.

  • No! Most Beckonaire clients take multiple trips, including at least one milestone adventure, per year. We’ll help you build a progression of trips over multiple years that aligns with your goals, fits with your schedule, and lets you pick the season.

  • We’ve been known to pull off last-minute magic, but recommend that you reach out with ideally 6-12 months of runway—or more, for big events or bucket list journeys. The sooner we start a conversation, the more marvelous the beckoning will be.

“The beckoning counts, and not the clicking latch behind you: and all through life the actual moment of emancipation still holds that delight, of the whole world coming to meet you like a wave.”

—Freya Stark
