MEET SHEENA

MEET THE FOUNDER - SHEENA SUMNER PRIVATE TRAVEL

With a passport full of stamps from over 35 countries, I’ve turned my lifelong passion for travel into a career devoted to creating unforgettable journeys for my clients. I believe luxury travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how you feel along the way. From the cobbled streets of Europe to the turquoise waters of the Maldives, I’ve experienced destinations first-hand so I can curate trips that are as unique as the people taking them.

My approach is deeply personal. I take the time to get to know each client, understanding their dreams, preferences, and the little details that turn a holiday into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whether it’s securing a coveted table at a Michelin-starred restaurant, arranging private tours with local insiders, or finding hidden gems you won’t see in guidebooks, I handle every element with precision and care. With me, your travel plans are never just “booked” — they’re designed, refined, and elevated.

WHY BOOK WITH ME

With 20 plus years of customer service, I offer a deeply personal, high-touch service that redefines what it means to book luxury travel. What sets my agency apart is the intentional blend of concierge-level attention to detail with a refined understanding of today’s discerning traveller.

Every journey I plan is highly tailored, from initial inspiration to post-departure follow-up, ensuring my clients experience not just a trip, but a completely seamless narrative of luxury, comfort, and meaning.

Unlike larger agencies where clients may feel like just another booking number, my clients know they’re in expert hands with someone who cares about every single element of their trip. From hand-selecting the right suite with a view, to ensuring thoughtful touches such as child-friendly dining reservations, private airport transfers, or a perfectly timed upgrade, I manage each itinerary with precision and heart. My relationships with global luxury hotel groups and supplier allow me to offer added value like VIP status, exclusive amenities, and

insider experiences that elevate each stay far beyond the ordinary.

My business is rooted in trust. Many of my clients return time and again, not only for the flawless execution of their holidays, but for the creative ideas, honest guidance, and deep knowledge I bring. Whether they’re seeking last-minute summer escapes, complex multi-stop honeymoons, or once-in-a-lifetime adventures, they know they can rely on me to remove stress and add delight.

As a solo operator, my brand is a reflection of me—boutique by design, highly curated, and emotionally intelligent. I focus on building long-term relationships over high volumes, ensuring each client feels seen, understood, and valued.

Luxury isn’t just about a five-star hotel—it’s about feeling looked after at every step. That’s what I deliver, and that’s what makes Sheena Sumner Private Travel different.
