Kathryn Thompson
Owner/Director

Travel is my passion – it literally runs in my blood, being from a family of travel agents it was only natural for me to start my own business, Elite Travel Boutique. I wanted to be a different type of agency, focusing on the niche area of luxury travel and creating holidays as unique as the individual.

I’ve worked in travel management for nearly 20 years, from a small, entrepreneurial led business to large multiple agencies. I guess the main thing I’ve learned is that luxury travel is personal, you can’t box it up and sell it off the shelf. It should be individual, tailored and it should exceed your expectation every time.

As a working mum of two young daughters, life is a busy balancing act. I’m a keen skier but love a dose of sunshine in equal measure. My favourite ski resort is Val d’Isere – the ski terrain and the slope side restaurants are second to none – in fact I got engaged at Le Panoramic!

I’ve been very lucky to see some incredible countries; special mention must go to Vietnam, Cambodia, South Africa, Maldives, Mauritius, Oman, Dubai, Australia, Thailand, Caribbean, Morocco – although I have say I don’t think you can beat the Mediterranean in the summer!

We will look after you, that’s a given, but we will also help you see more of this amazing world by designing your holiday experiences to perfection but leave you wanting more. Your longevity as a client is the ultimate compliment of our work.

Gill Holmes
Luxury Travel Consultant

I’ve been in travel since leaving school and have worked with Kathryn for over 20 years. I have worked for several large agencies gaining a huge amount of knowledge within the industry and have had the opportunity to travel to some of the most outstanding parts of the world.

The highlights have been visiting the Taj Mahal in India, horse riding in the Smokey mountains, snorkelling in the Barrier reef, watching the stars from an overwater villa in the Maldives and searching for Santa with my children deep in the forest in snowy Lapland.

Over the years I have cruised the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, skied in many European resorts, travelled around the USA and visited numerous resorts around the Mediterranean 

I am passionate about my job and I absolutely love making people's dream holiday a reality.

Bo Hutchinson
Luxury Travel Manager

I have specialised in Luxury Travel since 2016 and I simply LOVE my job! I am lucky enough to have visited many corners of the world. I have had some incredible, unforgettable experiences with particular highlights including sailing the breath-taking Whitsunday Islands, admiring the stunning Niagara Falls, scuba diving in the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, visiting the famous shipwreck on Navagio beach, night skiing in snowy mountains of Quebec, sampling a Singapore Sling in Raffles and skydiving over the sparkling Lake Taupo.

Being a mother to 3 young children, family holidays have taken a priority but of course this can still be done in the epitome of luxury if you know the right places. Our current favourite has to be the idyllic fishing village of Binibeca on the beautiful quiet island of Menorca - nothing makes me happier than sipping a cocktail at the quirky beach bar and watching the children splash and snorkel in the shallow, crystal clear waters. The sunset from Cova d’en Xoroi is a must see!

I have developed a real passion for providing the perfect, unique, tailor-made luxury holiday and believe it’s the small personal touches that make the big difference. We plan every inch of your holiday to the finest detail, leaving no stone unturned, so it is smooth sailing and effortless for you all the way.

Lucy Platt
Luxury Travel Manager

I LOVE holidays it’s as simple as that! To discover and travel to different destinations has been a passion of mine from an early age. I have worked in various aspects within the travel industry for over 20 years and in that time I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing places worldwide, specialising predominantly in the luxury market.

My particular love is the Caribbean and over the years I have had the opportunity to stay at some fantastic properties and visit some of the most enchanting Islands and experience all that the Caribbean has to offer. I also love Mauritius, the Mediterranean holiday resorts and France. 

Since having my own children, I now understand what families are looking for in a holiday. It’s about keeping the children happy but also finding the right balance for you. I now spend my own annual summer holiday in the South of France.

We are always on hand to offer advice and suggestions to make it work. I can assure you that we will look after every aspect of your holiday from start to finish, to take the stress out of it for you. Our inhouse concierge service will personally tailor make your own itinerary so that it is individual to you and ensure that you get the best out of your stay.
