Our Story

Welcome to Luxe & Chic Travel. My name is Yaritza Maldonado and I have always lived life in pursuit of adventure and pure travel bliss. Being a travel aficionado, I have a passion for discovering unique off the beaten path locations, charming restaurants, and experiencing a complete cultural immersion during my journeys. Having visited many countries, there absolutely isn't a destination I don't feel passionate about exploring (as well as sharing my experiences!)

I have been blessed with two amazing boys (who have been traveling since before they could crawl) and the greatest travel partner a girl could ever ask for (my high school sweetheart!) Given that I was raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, islands hold a very special place in my heart thus you will always find me in search of the perfect beaches.

I love to bring amazing travel ideas to life and curate extraordinary travel experiences that are both authentic and unique. With each trip, I dedicate a great deal of time to ensuring that all details, large and small, are flawlessly met and surpass your expectations.

What’s your dream trip? Perhaps an adventurous and exclusive African safari tour, or an expedition to Antarctica for penguin watching. Is it possibly an escape to a magnificent over the water bungalow on the stunning islands of Tahiti or Maldives, or taking a spiritual journey through the temples and monasteries of Thailand. Maybe learning how to prepare fresh pasta at an enchanting Tuscan vineyard while enjoying a glass of their best wine. With so many destinations and experiences to be had, your travel possibilities are endless. I want your vacation to be filled with unforgettable memories that are not only meaningful, but truly genuine.
