Travel designed for awe.

Your Private Travel Concierge.

For celebrating life well.

Life Is Meant To Be Celebrated

Not every milestone calls for another dinner reservation.

Some moments deserve more. More awe. More beauty. More alive.

Birthdays. Honeymoons. Big Career Wins. Holidays. Anniversaries. Graduations.

New beginnings. Long-awaited escapes. And every meaningful moment in between.

We help turn life's moments into stories you'll be telling for years.

Travel with Rare Aura

For Those Who Want More Than A Beautiful Hotel

You know the difference.

It's the hotel staff who remember your name (and your coffee order). The landscape so beautiful it stops every conversation mid-sentence. The meal that turns into a three-hour dinner because no one wants to leave the table.

It's the guide who turns an afternoon into the story you'll tell at every dinner party for the next decade. The wrong turn that becomes the best part of the trip. The laugh-until-it-hurts moment you didn't plan for and couldn't have.

These are the moments that remind us how big, surprising, and undeniably fun life can be.

At Rare Aura, we design journeys built for exactly this.

Because awe doesn't just change how we travel. It changes how we feel once we return home.

Let's Celebrate

“Travel has taught me many things, but above all, it's shown me that life is meant to be lived. To explore, embrace new people, celebrate often, and laugh as much as possible.

I started Rare Aura with a simple desire to help people step out of autopilot and invest in meaningful experiences for themselves and their loved ones.

By handling the logistics and curating every detail with intention, our goal is to give our clients the gift of presence and inspire them to live a life of Rare Aura, filled with stories they can’t wait to share.”

Traveler Reflections

“Rare Aura has such a dynamic team! We received outstanding service from start to finish for our trip to Paris for the French Open.
When you don’t have time to curate the perfect trip for your husband you call on Nas and her team. Flawless execution and real-time communication during the trip. My husband couldn’t stop sending pictures and texts during the trip to his friends. And now they are all planning to attend RG next year. So Nas, get prepared, they all have your contact info!!
And don’t even get me started on the additional surprise they helped my husband plan for me in Champagne! It was extraordinary! OMG, the beautiful drive, the exquisite hotel lunch and the captivating view was priceless. I would recommend everyone who books with Rare Aura take a private drive away from the city to take in fresh air, champagne and lush vineyards as far as the eye can see!

“We recently booked a trip to Sicily through Rare Aura, and I can’t recommend Nas highly enough. From the beginning, she was incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure each part of the itinerary reflected our style and interests. Her taste is unmatched, and the villa she selected for us was absolutely stunning. Every room felt serene, the views were breathtaking, and we spent hours lounging by the pool or relaxing on the outdoor deck just soaking it all in. Any last-minute needs that came up during the trip were handled immediately. Nas’s responsiveness made us feel so supported the entire time. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and expert guidance, we were able to fully unwind and enjoy a seamless, unforgettable week in Sicily. It couldn’t have been more perfect.”

“Our honeymoon was everything thanks to Rare Aura! From start to finish, they made the whole process so seamless! The hardest choice we made daily was what to wear to dinner! Nas and Claudia really took the time to get to know us, our vibe, and what we wanted out of the trip, and then executed it perfectly. The pacing was especially perfect, we had the right mix of adventure, downtime, and little surprises that made every day feel special. Nothing felt rushed or cookie-cutter; every experience felt unique and tailored to us. As a vegetarian, I was so grateful they found amazing spots where I had plenty of options (not just one sad salad!). Everything was so thoughtful and intentional. I’m pretty type A and usually make my own travel itineraries, but I’ll never do that again now that we’ve found Rare Aura. If you want a stress-free, beautifully curated trip that feels made just for you, Rare Aura is it!”

“We are so thankful that Rare Aura planned our babymoon! We couldn’t have felt more relaxed after. The resort they selected in Kos was incredible, with amazing staff and beautiful food, and the private guide they arranged created such a special evening in Zia that I’ll never forget. In Bodrum, we absolutely loved the resort. The rooms were massive and elegant, with everything we could possibly need. The market tour and cooking experience at a stunning vineyard was such a highlight, and the surprise gift from Rare Aura led us to a spontaneous boat ride that became one of our favorite memories. Every transfer was smooth, every detail was taken care of. We felt completely looked after from start to finish.”

“My recent trip to South Africa, planned by Nas, couldn’t have been better! From Cape Town to The Winelands and out to Hermanus, every detail was carefully thought out! One of the highlights for me was a horseback riding safari, I had no idea that was even an option, and it was a great way to get up close to wildlife in a totally unique setting. We also did the chef’s counter experience at Protégé in Franschhoek which was not only one of my highlights in South Africa but one of my favorite travel experiences ever - everything there was really unbelievable. Even when we hit a snag - the scheduled driver canceled last minute - Nas handled it effortlessly, securing a reliable replacement without any delays to plans. If you’re looking for someone who not only curates unforgettable experiences but also handles the unexpected with ease, you’re in the best hands with Nas!”

“Nas planned my bachelorette weekend in San Francisco & Napa Valley and I am so glad that she did! Normally I am hesitant to let go of the reigns when it comes to travel planning, as I want to make sure everything is well-researched and that I am making the most of my time, but having Nas take the lead ended up being the best thing!

The entire itinerary from start to finish was perfectly curated. I absolutely loved the walking tour through downtown San Francisco that she put together, but given how knowledgeable she was about the Napa/Sonoma area, the vineyards she selected were definitely the highlight of the trip.

Everything ran so smoothly which let me fully immerse myself in the weekend and relax without having to worry about anything! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to a friend!”
Jamie
“Nas planned our Doha trip to perfection! The itinerary had a balance of trendy and delicious eateries, cultural exploration, and location-specific luxury experiences, exactly what I look for in a trip! There was flexibility to slow down and back-up ideas for if we had the time and wanted to do something extra.

My favorite part of the trip was in the evenings where we sat amongst the locals at outdoor patios near the markets drinking tea into the night. I wouldn’t have been able to uncover where the locals hang out, but Nas had it covered. I trust Nas to plan all my vacations!”
Hadleigh
“I had the pleasure of working with Nas for a girls trip to San Francisco, and I can’t say enough about how incredible the experience was from start to finish. Nas was absolutely excellent throughout the entire process, ensuring every detail was taken care of.

From the moment I arrived in San Francisco, there was a thoughtful welcome gift waiting, which set the tone for the entire trip. Nas went above and beyond by carefully curating a seamless itinerary that included sightseeing, amazing meals at some of the best restaurants in the area, as well as visits to multiple wineries for private wine tastings at stunning locations in both Napa Valley and Sonoma. Each stop was more breathtaking than the last, and the experience felt incredibly special. The transportation was smooth and catered perfectly to our large group. It was clear that no detail was too small for Nas to consider.

I highly recommend Nas to anyone planning a trip. Thank you, Nas, for making this San Francisco adventure one I’ll never forget!”

“Where do I begin?! Nas saved my sister's 30th Birthday Trip! I had thought I planned a great long weekend trip for my sister and her friends for her 30th birthday and a month before the big trip a huge miscommunication error threw a wrench in our plans! I was extremely upset, stressed and disappointed that I had ruined my sister's birthday. I looked to Nas for her guidance and help! Not only did Nas find a destination that would be easy access for all the guests involved, she found an amazing house rental that had great amenities and allowed all guests to sleep comfortably. Nas then put together an amazing itinerary including activities, brunch spots, night scenes while including hyperlinks so we could look up each of the locations and menus. She gave us multiple options for each day just in case we changed our minds the day before or morning of, based on how we felt. The weekend and birthday trip was one of the best! With beach time, great food, new experiences, I was so grateful she saved the trip. I can't thank Nas enough for her amazing help and work to put the trip together!”
