About Us
Transformational Luxury
Boutique Travel Advisors is a global luxury travel company with advisors around the world and offices in Scottsdale, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Carlsbad, Dallas, and Orlando. Our advisors specialize in designing highly personalized travel experiences for individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations across the globe.
As a Virtuoso travel agency, our relationships with leading hotels, destination partners, cruise lines, and travel specialists worldwide provide our clients with access to exclusive amenities, VIP experiences, and an elevated level of service throughout their journey.
Because we are passionate about philanthropy, each BTA itinerary also offers travelers an opportunity to give back to the local community in which they are traveling.
From remote lodges in Patagonia to alpine chalets to desert safari camps, our team of experts scours the globe to bring you the most unique, exceptional, awe-inspiring travel experiences. We are not simply luxury travel agents but curators and transformational itinerary designers.
At BTA we practice a holistic team approach to planning and executing travel experiences.
"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live."
We are a team of passionate travelers, curators, and transformational itinerary designers. Every advisor on our team has traveled extensively and brings firsthand expertise to every journey they design. We are not a call center — we are a boutique agency where every client is known by name.
