Introducing Olivia Flynn, Leisure Travel Specialist with five years of industry experience. Olivia has a keen eye for curating bespoke travel experiences, ensuring every journey is tailored to perfection. Let’s get to know her a little better.
🔸 What’s your secret to curating bespoke experiences that go beyond the ordinary for clients?
“The secret is listening - really getting to know my clients on a deeper level to understand their unique travel needs and desires. Anyone can say they want to visit a destination, but it’s the 'why' behind their choice that allows me to craft something truly special.
For example, if a food-loving couple is heading to Paris, I won’t just book them a restaurant - I’ll arrange a Michelin-star dining experience or a private cooking class with a renowned chef. If a client has a deep fascination with Egypt and the Pyramids, I'll organise exclusive insider access to a restricted area at the paws of the Great Sphinx, offering a truly unforgettable perspective.
It’s these kinds of carefully curated moments that turn travel into an experience.”
🔸 What emerging destinations or travel trends should travellers have on their radar this year?
“One of the most exciting ways to experience the world right now is through luxury train travel. These journeys redefine adventure, offering world-class accommodation, exceptional dining, and exemplary service - all while taking in breathtaking landscapes.
A standout experience is the Golden Eagle Luxury Trains Danube Express, a 14-day luxury rail adventure travelling from Italy through Croatia, Macedonia, and ending in Türkiye. It’s an unforgettable way to explore multiple destinations in absolute comfort and style.”
🔸 What’s your favourite resort, and what makes it stand out?
“It’s hard to pick just one, as so many resorts are uniquely special, but here are a few that truly stand out to me:
📍 Singita Faru Faru Lodge, Tanzania: A relaxed yet luxurious lodge within Singita’s 350,000-acre private reserve, offering private game drives, guided safaris, and community engagement programs. The setting is breathtaking, and the wildlife encounters are unparalleled.
📍Hotel Marques de Riscal, Spain: Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, this avant-garde hotel is an architectural masterpiece in the heart of Spain’s Rioja wine region. Guests enjoy wine tastings, gourmet dining, and a world-class spa, all within an incredibly unique and striking setting.
📍Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island, Australia: We’re lucky to have this world-class lodge right in our own backyard. With stunning views of the Southern Ocean, luxurious suites, and exceptional dining, this property is the ultimate escape. More than just a luxury retreat, it celebrates Kangaroo Island’s wildlife, natural beauty, and resilient community.”
