OUR STORY

How it all

began…

Ciao, I’m Sarah- Founder & CEO of Luxama Travel.

My journey began in 2014 when I studied abroad in Rome, unaware that Italy would transform my life. By 2015, I had made the decision to relocate for the summer season, immersing myself in the country’s culture, cuisine, and hidden corners. That decision shaped not only who I am but the work I do today.

In 2020, I launched Luxama Travel, a US luxury travel advisory inspired by the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. As a proud affiliate of TRAVELLUSTRE, a Virtuoso Member, and endorsed by Forbes Travel Guide, Luxama stands as a trusted partner for executives, multi-generational families, and ultra high net worth travelers across the globe.

We don’t just design itineraries- we act as your personal travel assistants. We invest the time to understand your lifestyle, routines, and ambitions, curating journeys that seamlessly align with your world. Whether it’s an after-hours Vatican tour with the Sistine Chapel all to yourself, a private heritage deep dive in Sicily, a Michelin-starred dinner on the cliffs of Positano, or a long-haul business trip tailored for efficiency, our focus is always on making every moment count.

At Luxama, our philosophy is simple: luxury is personal. No two journeys are the same, because no two clients are the same. For some, luxury means a quiet vineyard retreat; for others, it’s the thrill of space tourism or chartering a private yacht. Whatever your version of luxury, we bring it to life with discretion, precision, and warmth.

When you travel with us, you join the Luxama Family. We advocate for you, anticipate your needs, and open doors to experiences money alone can’t buy. Because at this level, true value lies not in how much you spend, but in how deeply you live the experience.

Your time is your most valuable asset. Let’s make every journey worthy of it.

Welcome to The Luxama Family.

Sincerely,

Sarah L. Thompson

Why Luxama?

Half Luxury & Half Ama—meaning 'Love' in Italian.

That’s the essence behind Luxama Travel. Every journey we design isn’t just about luxury; it’s about creating a connection so powerful that you fall in love- with the destination, its people, its culture, and its rhythm.

Our mission is simple: to curate experiences that go far beyond the ordinary. Luxury, for us, is deeply personal. It’s about knowing whether your heart sings on a private yacht in Greece, inside a candlelit château in France, or in a villa tucked away along the Italian coastline.

If, by the end of your journey, you feel so captivated that you begin to dream of calling that place home — as I did with Italy — then we’ve done more than plan a trip. We’ve changed the way you see the world.

“No journey is impossible- when you dream big, the world opens its doors”

-Sarah L. Thompson
