Established by luxury-travel devotees who have long enjoyed the highest levels of hospitality, Dorsia Travel creates exceptional holiday experiences for the world’s most discerning travellers.

From securing access to Turks and Caicos’ most palatial exclusive-use properties to arranging swimming sessions with whale sharks in Tanzania, Dorsia Travel’s founders Tom and Lucie oversee every facet of each trip personally – and as exceptionally accomplished holidaymakers themselves, they know exactly what it takes to impress their been-there-done-that peers.

What We Do About Us

Anything is Possible

Based in Britain, Dorsia Travel operates globally but is particularly focused on the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Africa, where safaris are a speciality. Whether organising guaranteed gorilla sightings in the wilds of Rwanda or arranging sundowners on a sandbank in the Seychelles, anything is possible.

Inspiration

Private Property Specialist

To fully support the needs of its discreet clientele, Dorsia Travel is also a private property specialist that can facilitate access to exceptional exclusive-use homes around the world.

Think a Bahamas private-island retreat for days spent sailing and snorkelling, or a remote Wyoming ranch for stargazing and s’mores by the campfire. As parents themselves, Tom and Lucie also relish the opportunity to create extra-special multigenerational celebrations and family holidays.

“Our trip to Kenya is collectively our most cherished memory as a family, and none of it would have been possible without Tom.”

“Lucie was fantastic! She was able to manage our rife indecisiveness with hotels and destinations with ease.”

"I really didn't feel like I was working with a travel agent at any time during the process - Tom and Lucie are just trying to provide you with the best possible experience."

"I've worked with a number of travel advisors and agencies over the past decade, and Dorsia Travel is by far the most impressive, personal, and caring."

"The hotel choices were perfect, and Lucie made sure everything was arranged perfectly prior to our arrival."

A few months after opening (with Dorsia clients being their first ever guests) I decided to check out Bulgari Rome. Fortunately, they have moved away from the copy/paste formula of Milan to London to Paris and created something much more…Italian. Unfortunately that means I can’t copy/paste my Paris write-up. The review will be out next Friday. @bulgarihotels

As upgrades go, this four-bedroom ocean villa @amanyara_resort we stayed in last week was certainly one of my better ones. I was ill and passed out for most of the stay, so will have to go back again to truly experience it. Five bedroom next time, please and thank you.
