Reason 1: You’ll feel pampered during the planning and booking process

When you book with us, you're working with a dedicated and passionate advisor, whose only goal is to ensure you have an amazing experience. What does this mean, exactly? Instead of doomscrolling through top ten lists or endlessly messaging AI chatbots, you can let an Amavi advisor do what they do best. The process begins with a complimentary consultation. Whether you prefer to connect via phone, Facetime, Zoom, Google Meet, email or text, we want to get to know you!

We listen to your expectations, preferences and budget, then get to work to deliver exactly what you want. You gain access to a treasure trove of insider knowledge & recommendations — not only from us, but from our global network of travel professionals. Plus, we love to curate unreal hotel stays by sourcing the best rates and unlocking VIP upgrades. And we always attend to the details, from guaranteeing adjoining rooms to confirming food allergies to adding special touches for special occasions.

In other words? You’ve got someone on your side to do all the heavy lifting. You benefit from dedicated, 1:1 support (and might even make a cool new friend along the way!). You're working with someone who has shared interests and passions — not to mention expertise and planning experience in your dream destination — who can help you plan the best possible trip.

Reason 2: You travel like a VIP with hotel perks, room upgrades, and more

Our travelers benefit from our industry relationships and best-in-class partnerships (including invitation-only programs like Four Seasons Preferred). This means that when you book with us, you’re initiated into an exclusive club. What kind of club, exactly? You’ll be the hotel’s top priority. Not only will your specific needs be met, but you’ll benefit from the highest status at the hotel — higher than clients who book through Amex or the hotel directly. Essentially, you’ll always be marked as VIP prior to your arrival and receive preference for room upgrades when available.

And perks? Again, thanks to Amavi’s extensive partner network, when you book with us, you’re guaranteed perks at 4,500+ hotels worldwide, including Virtuoso, Rosewood, Belmond, Rocco Forte and more. These perks include resort and spa credits, welcome amenities, complimentary breakfast and airport transfers. But it’s more than that. These industry relationships ensure you’ll have the best experience possible while on the ground.

We work directly with hotel management, so you know you’re always taken care of. When traveleing, if you need to make a change or something goes awry, we’re there to assist and problem-solve on your behalf. Peace of mind and extra perks? Don’t mind if I do…

Reason 3: You’ll enjoy exceptional service and authentic experiences

Traveling with Amavi isn’t just about getting from point A to point B; it's about immersing yourself in the culture and essence of your destination. We take pride in offering you unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences that are often overlooked by mainstream travel agencies. What sets us apart? It’s our deep connections with local DMCs, experts, and guides. These relationships allow us to offer you personalized tours, exclusive access, and authentic experiences that you simply can’t find online.

Whether it’s a private cooking class in a Tuscan villa or a guided hike through the hidden trails of Patagonia, we ensure that your travel experience is enriched with genuine encounters and meaningful moments. We tailor every detail to your interests and preferences, making sure that each experience is as unique as you are. With Amavi, you don’t just visit a place; you truly connect with it.

Reason 4: Your tourist dollars will actually benefit the local economy

At Amavi, we believe in responsible travel that positively impacts the destinations we visit. When you book with us, you can be confident that your travel dollars are benefiting the local economy. We partner with locally-owned businesses, artisans, and service providers to ensure that the money you spend stays within the community. This supports local jobs, preserves cultural heritage, and promotes sustainable tourism practices.

By choosing Amavi, you’re contributing to the well-being of the places you visit, helping to maintain their charm and character for future generations. We’re committed to eco-friendly and ethical travel, so you can explore the world with a clear conscience, knowing that your adventures are making a difference.

Reason 5: You can feel good about supporting small business entrepreneurs

When you work with us, you’re not only enhancing your travel experiences, you’re helping a passion-fueled small business grow. We became vacation travel advisors because planning once-in-a-lifetime trips is in our DNA. Not only do we live and breathe the world of travel, but we’re also small-business entrepreneurs. That’s where you come in.

When you work with us, you’re investing in our passions and helping develop our business. You get to collaborate with a real person (again, no call centers or algorithms here) who has all your needs top of mind. The result? You can feel good knowing you’re not only getting the best-of-the-best in terms of service and intel, but you’re helping a small business thrive.
