What we do, and how we do it.
A small, founder-led travel practice. One trip at a time, every detail handled.
A small, founder-led travel practice. One trip at a time, every detail handled.
We plan custom journeys for families, friend groups, women's weeks, milestones, multi-gen reunions. Any group worth gathering. There are no group departures we'll squeeze you onto, no commission-driven recommendations, no off-the-rack itineraries dusted off with your name on the front. Every trip we plan is built for the people taking it.
What follows is a quick map of what's included in every journey, how we work, and the three ways people plan with us.
Every Joya journey is built on four core bookings. We secure each one, vet it personally, and make sure it actually works for the group taking it.
Places we have personally walked through, vetted for the small things that actually matter to the people staying there.
Drivers who know the route, have a car seat ready, and won't make you small-talk before coffee. Airports, ports, the next stop on the itinerary.
From a single chartered day on the water to a weeklong island-hop. Crew vetted for working well with whoever's on board.
Vetted lodges and camps, partner operators we've worked with for years, the right pace for whoever's traveling.
We'll happily arrange activities and local guides, tables and reservations, and occasional babysitter referrals as part of your itinerary. These are added where they fit, not promised in every package.
A simple four-step rhythm we follow with every client. Most journeys take six to ten weeks from the first conversation; some come together in less.
Send a short note or book a call. Tell us who's traveling, where you're dreaming of, and when you'd like to go.
A bespoke proposal within a few days. Itinerary, places to stay, transfers, tables. We refine it together until it feels right.
We book everything. You receive a clear day-by-day, plus Seema's direct line. We're available whenever you need us.
A short call after you're home. Notes for next time, places that worked, places that didn't. So the next journey is even better.
The full Joya treatment, designed from scratch for your group. Plan a week, a fortnight, a multi-stop summer. Every detail handled end to end.
Begin a journey →A handful of times each year, we host small group journeys, a Paros summer, a Tuscan harvest week, for families who'd love to travel alongside other families with young kids.
See upcoming retreats →For travelers who'd rather plan their own trip but want a second opinion. A 60-minute call with Seema: destinations, timing, villas, the small things you might not have asked about.
Schedule a call →If any of this sounds like the right fit, we'd love to hear from you.
