We take the stress out of travel planning by creating customized, high-touch experiences from start to finish. We get to know your style, preferences, and priorities—then handle everything from accommodation bookings to day-by-day itineraries. Every detail is taken care of with thought and precision, so your trip feels seamless, personal, and elevated. The result? A journey that unfolds with the kind of ease and beauty that lingers long after you’ve unpacked.

For more in-depth trip planning—such as custom itinerary design or multi-stop journeys—we do charge a planning fee. This covers the time and care we devote to understanding your travel style, researching thoughtfully, and building a tailored experience that aligns beautifully with your goals. Planning fees are typically based on the number of days we’re designing, and we’re always upfront about the costs before getting started.
Curious what that might look like for your trip? We offer complimentary consultation calls so you can explore what’s possible—and what it might cost—before making any commitments.

Yes—we’re happy to plan group travel, whether it’s a multi-generational family vacation, a birthday celebration, a couples’ getaway, or a trip with friends.
Group travel comes with its own unique considerations, and we’re here to make it feel organized, enjoyable, and tailored to your group’s needs. From selecting the right accommodations to designing experiences everyone will love, we handle the details so you can focus on spending time together.
If you're celebrating something special, we can also arrange personalized touches to make the trip even more meaningful.
That’s wonderful! If you love researching and dreaming up your own adventures, we’re here to complement—not replace—that excitement.
Think of Bellara as your trusted partner behind the scenes: We can handle the logistics, elevate your hotel stays with VIP perks, and offer curated recommendations based on insider access you won’t find online. You can stay as involved (or hands-off) as you like.
Whether you just need help choosing the perfect hotel, want someone to refine your ideas, or prefer a fully customized itinerary, we’ll tailor our support to match your planning style—so you can spend more time enjoying the journey, and less time sorting through tabs.
To start the planning process, please fill out our Trip Inquiry Form and a travel advisor will be in touch soon.
Ideally, we recommend starting the planning process at least 4 to 6 months in advance, especially for international travel, honeymoons, or trips during peak seasons and holidays. This allows us the best access to availability, special perks, and top-tier accommodations—and gives us the time and space to design something truly personalized.
That said, we understand that sometimes plans come together quickly. If you’re working with a shorter timeline, we’ll always do our best to accommodate and craft something special with the time we have.
The earlier we connect, the more opportunities we have to make your experience as seamless and elevated as possible.
The best experiences come from true collaboration. The more we understand your travel style, preferences, and priorities, the more we can tailor your trip to feel seamless, personal, and elevated.
Here’s how to make the most of working with Bellara:
• Be open about what matters most to you—whether it’s slow mornings, boutique hotels, hidden-gem restaurants, or wow-factor moments.
• Share your past travel highlights (and lowlights) so we know what you love—and what to avoid.
• Be upfront about your budget. Money conversations can feel a little awkward, but they’re essential for designing a trip that meets your vision. With clear expectations, we can make smart, thoughtful recommendations that balance both experience and value.
• Tell us who you're traveling with. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, friends, or solo, we’ll tailor the experience accordingly.
• Mention any special occasions or accessibility needs. If you're celebrating something meaningful or have specific considerations, we’ll make sure those details are honored with care.
•Trust the process. From logistics to special touches, our role is to make it all feel effortless. We’ll handle the logistics—but collaboration helps ensure your trip reflects you, beautifully.
At Bellara, our goal is simple: to design a journey that feels like it was made just for you—because it was.

Absolutely! Once we’ve agreed on the general parameters of your trip, we’ll create an initial proposal to bring the vision to life. Think of it as a starting point—not the final itinerary, but a draft to get us moving in the right direction.
The more we collaborate, the more clearly we’ll understand your unique travel style. Your feedback is essential, and we welcome it at every step. We’ll refine and adjust the plans until everything feels just right.
We like to keep things personal and flexible—just like your trip. Email is usually the best way to stay organized and ensure no detail gets missed, but we’re always happy to schedule calls or video chats when a conversation makes more sense.
While you’re traveling, your advisor will be available to support you as much as possible. Time zone differences may occasionally delay a response, but you’ll often have trusted local partners on the ground who can assist with any immediate needs.
That’s completely okay—travel is personal, and sometimes your vision shifts as the planning unfolds. If you decide to take your trip in a different direction, we’ll work with you to pivot the plans while honoring the time and care already invested.
Depending on how far along we are in the process, a revised planning fee may apply. We’ll always be transparent about any changes in scope or cost so you can make informed decisions without pressure.
Ultimately, our priority is helping you create a trip that feels right—and sometimes that means adjusting course to get there.
Bellara Travel does not book flights. In our experience, it’s often more efficient for travelers to book their own airfare—especially if any changes or issues come up. Airlines typically require direct communication with the ticket holder, and involving a third party can sometimes create delays.
That said, we’re always here to help guide you. We can offer suggestions on routes, timing, and logistics to ensure your flights align seamlessly with the rest of your itinerary. Our goal is to make sure every element of your trip feels smooth, coordinated, and thoughtfully planned—even the parts we don’t book ourselves.
Yes—travel insurance is highly recommended for every trip. It offers valuable protection in case of unexpected changes, delays, or emergencies, and can help safeguard the investment you’ve made in your travels.
After your trip deposit is submitted, we’ll provide you with a travel insurance quote for your convenience. You’re also welcome to explore other providers and choose the policy that best fits your needs. Our goal is simply to ensure you feel confident, protected, and ready to enjoy your journey.
Cancellation costs vary by supplier. Due to the highly customized nature of your vacation, trip insurance is highly recommended in the event you need to cancel or postpone your trip. If you would like a policy that includes the ability to cancel for any reason, please let us know.
Even the most carefully planned journeys can encounter unexpected hiccups—but you're never alone when you travel with Bellara.
If an issue arises while you're away, we're here as your first point of contact to help resolve it quickly and smoothly. Whether it’s a room that’s not quite right or a last-minute change of plans, we’ll work with our trusted partners and local contacts to find a solution that gets things back on track.
Our goal is always to protect your time, ease your stress, and make sure you feel cared for—no matter what comes up. When you travel with Bellara, you have a dedicated advocate on your side every step of the way.
Yes, we are always here for you. We do our best to be available throughout your trip in case any questions or issues come up. Since time zones can sometimes make immediate responses tricky, we also work with trusted local partners who are on the ground and ready to help when needed.
From confirming last-minute changes to troubleshooting hiccups, we’re committed to making sure your experience feels as seamless as possible. You're never traveling alone—we’re always just a message away.
