Who is A&I
TAILOR MADE LUXURY TRAVEL
At Aiden & Ivy Travel, we pair quiet luxuries with one-of-a-kind experiences you can’t wait to tell everyone back home about.
We like to say that we create experiences with a surfer’s soul—fully present, up for anything, and ready to ride that wave of adventure.
We deeply believe travel is a catalyst for transformation and healing, especially when you step beyond typical paths.
Through exclusive partnerships, rigorous research, and a collaborative approach, we curate moments that feel alive — not programmed. Our philosophy embraces the spirit of a true explorer: adaptive, curious, and ready to discover the unexpected.
From secluded Caribbean retreats to culturally rich European escapes, your travel adventure transcends the ordinary. That’s why we partner with a select number of clients each season — delivering journeys that are deeply personal, meticulously crafted, and singular in experience.
We hand-craft getaways for the creative soul designed to their deepest passions —where every journey is effortless, inspiring, and unmistakably you.
the founder
LYDIA
Based in Boston, Lydia has a deep belief that travel creates transformation and awakens the child within.
Those ever-so-slightly offbeat trips are, personally, the ones that have stayed with her the most. Like the time she crisscrossed the misty Scottish countryside by train, rode bareback on a horse down the beach in Cancun, or squelched deep down into a mud bath in a Colombian volcano. Experiences that taught her how to design for privacy, how to choose partners who honor space, how to make the unusual feel seamless.
Along the way, Lydia learned that the unusual and unexpected are what challenges, changes, and nourish you — and that’s exactly why she founded Aiden and Ivy. She wants all her clients to experience that transformative feeling.
Each travel adventure and every moment createS opportunities for rebirth
