Owl & Lotus Travel
Travel planned with intention
Our Story
Owl & Lotus Travel is a full-service, custom travel planning service founded on two beliefs: that great travel requires wisdom, and that the best trips transform you.
We believe a trip should restore, connect, challenge, celebrate, or simply remind you that the world is extraordinary and you deserve to see more of it. We design trips for individuals, couples, families, groups, and companies across the full spectrum of travel. No trip is too simple. None is too complex. What matters is that it's right for you.
The approach is simple: every trip gets full attention, every client gets a plan built around what actually matters to them, and no detail is too small to be worth getting right.
Our Services
Travel is more than a destination; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you return home. Every trip should feel intentional, effortless, and uniquely yours. A wellness reset in Sedona this spring might become a safari next year, a group trip to celebrate a milestone, or a quiet stretch of days on the water with no itinerary.
We offer one point of contact for every kind of journey. Each is intentionally planned with the same care, whether it’s a long weekend or a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We bring the expertise, connections, and personal touch to make it happen — without the stress of planning it yourself.
We work with travelers of all kinds: couples seeking romance, families creating memories, solo adventurers finding themselves, and everyone in between. We work with companies to plan retreats, group travel, and team offsites, designed to inspire teams and elevate the business. No cookie-cutter itineraries here. Just thoughtfully curated travel, designed around you.
Below, you’ll find more on each area of focus. But the easiest way to start is simply by telling us what you’re imagining, and we’ll help you build it from there.
Wellness Escapes
Sometimes the most important journey is the one that brings you back to yourself. Picture a thermal spa weekend in Iceland, a yoga retreat in Bali, a restorative escape to an island or beach, or a silent retreat in the mountains.
Wellness travel means something different to everyone: deep restoration, mindful movement, or simply uninterrupted stillness. We help you find the experience that fits your true needs, not just what looks appealing in a brochure
Food & Drink
For travelers who plan their journeys around food and drink. From a culinary tour through Tuscany's hill towns, a wine-country weekend in Napa or the Willamette Valley, a market-to-table cooking experience in Oaxaca, or a city escape anchored by a hard-to-get reservation, food is both the lens and the destination.
We create experiences for passionate eaters, curious drinkers, and anyone who believes a remarkable meal is reason enough to travel.
Adventure Travel
Some journeys are about more than just the destination; they are about what you experience along the way. Imagine a conservation safari in Tanzania, spotting sloths in the Costa Rican rainforest, trekking through Patagonia, hiking Norway's fjords, or exploring Southeast Asia's temples on foot.
Our specialty is crafting immersive, conservation-minded experiences, meticulously planned with the same attention to detail we apply to every trip.
Water Journeys
For travelers who want to see more without the hassle of constant packing and unpacking, the water is the answer. From Mediterranean coastal cruises and Alaskan glacier sailings to European river journeys along the Danube or Rhine and small-ship expeditions through the Galápagos, each offers a different pace and a new world to explore
We help you navigate this vast category and find the water journey that matches your travel style.
The American Southwest
The American Southwest rewards travelers who look beyond the obvious, offering red rock canyons, ancient cultures, thermal waters, and star-filled desert skies.
Whether it's a spa retreat in Sedona, a rim-to-rim Grand Canyon adventure, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, exploring Antelope Canyon's sandstone walls, or a road trip through Utah's Bryce Canyon, we design American Southwest itineraries that go further. This is our backyard, and we plan it with insider expertise.
Group Travel
Whether it's a company retreat, team offsite, incentive trip, bachelorette weekend in Scottsdale, golf getaway, or friends finally taking that long-awaited trip, group travel is a unique discipline, and we treat it as such.
We handle the logistics, negotiations, rooming lists, and all the details that multiply with every added guest. You bring the people, we'll create an experience worth gathering for.
What to Expect
Exceptional Service
The best travel planning is invisible. You shouldn't have to chase confirmations, decipher options, or wonder if anything was missed. From our first conversation until you're home again, we meticulously manage every detail, so all you notice is the experience itself.
Planned with Intention
Every trip begins with us listening to your must-haves, hesitations, budget, and the vision you truly have for your journey. We bring clarity to an overwhelming process, building an itinerary around what matters to you, not a template. Whether it's your first big trip or your fiftieth, our only goal is to get it right for you.
One Trusted Guide
You don’t need five different specialists. You need one trusted guide who knows your travel style, remembers what worked last time, and can help with any kind of trip: a wellness retreat, expedition, group celebration, water journey, or simply somewhere you’ve always dreamed of visiting. That’s our promise to you
