Travel is so much more than the mere journey of discovering a new city or country. Having spent 15 years in the hospitality and aviation industries around the world, Marta can attest to the incredible diversity of experiences that come from traveling.

As a VVIP flight attendant of the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, Marta was exposed to the highest standards of luxury when arranging their travels, whether it is finding the most exclusive venue or getting delivered that special rare coffee that tastes like no other to her guests or maybe this special macaroon from a small coffee shop in Paris for the sweet teeth onboard.

She made VIP traveling an unforgettable experience for the King of Spain, royals from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, presidents of the government, ministers and members of the United Nations while working as a corporate flight attendant for some of the most exclusive private jet companies worldwide, maximizing their onboard comfort with personalized details (their favourite breakfast prepared by a 2* Michelin Chef) while ensuring the most efficient and discrete transfer (sometimes up to full undercover operation!).

Marta has catered to the glamourous needs of world-class athletes and celebrities, both while on-tour with strict deadlines and appearances and also while relaxing in remote corners of the world with family and friends.

As a lover of travel herself, Marta has experienced the inner transformation that travel enables. She has trekked for a glimpse of a leopard in the dark wilderness of the Ngongoro in Tanzania and dined by water swirling with bioluminescent plankton in the Maldives, among many other experiences. Her career took her to over 70 countries and she has lived in some of them, including Spain, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. After spending several years in the Middle East, she moved to Hong Kong with her husband, where she pursued a degree in interior design and worked as a freelance designer while raising her first child. But the passion for travel soon struck again.

Now, settled in Los Angeles, Marta wants to share her traveling passion and curate unique experiences for others. In 2019, she founded VIP & Luxury Travels, an exclusive boutique travel agency and concierge services specializing in luxury and private trips. She organizes holidays and escapes for select clients, including local celebrities, European high net-worth individuals and families from the Gulf.

Marta’s experience working with highly-demanding customers across the world, combined with her obsession for details and a lifelong passion for travel, makes VIP & Luxury Travels a guaranteed unforgettable and truly sophisticated and unique experience.
