Why Forest Travel

Miami's luxury travel advisory since 1986 — a Virtuoso member and a Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists agency, built on the relationships that open doors no algorithm can reach.

Forest Travel is a luxury travel advisory based in North Miami Beach, Florida, designing private journeys for high-net-worth travelers since 1986 — forty years across more than 120 countries. We are a Virtuoso member, a Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists agency, and an NMSDC-certified Minority Business Enterprise. What sets us apart is not inventory — it is access: the relationships with owners, general managers and on-the-ground partners that turn 'impossible' into 'it's arranged.'

A Miami luxury travel agency since 1986

Forest Travel was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in North Miami Beach, Florida. For forty years we have designed private, fully bespoke journeys for high-net-worth travelers, business leaders and families across more than 120 countries on six continents. We are an advisory, not a booking site: every journey is built one client at a time.

The credentials behind the access

Three affiliations define how we work and what we can open for you:

  • Virtuoso member since 2004. Virtuoso is the by-invitation network of the world's leading luxury travel agencies. Membership gives our clients VIP amenities, room upgrades, resort credits and private access at the finest luxury hotels worldwide — benefits you cannot get booking direct or online.
  • Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists. Four of our advisors — Magnolia Quintana, Fernando Martinez, Juan David Gutierrez and Debbie Heim — are named to the Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists list for 2026, the magazine's vetted directory of the destination experts it trusts most.
  • NMSDC-certified Minority Business Enterprise. Forest Travel is a certified MBE through the National Minority Supplier Development Council — relevant for corporate and group travel programs with supplier-diversity requirements.

Twelve advisors, one standard

Our team of twelve luxury travel designers serves clients in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Hebrew, and has lived and traveled across the regions they plan. You work with one named advisor who learns how you travel and stays with you from the first conversation to the moment you return home — never a call center, never a different person each time.

What "luxury" actually buys you with us

Not a markup on a package — orchestration and access. A museum opened after the public leaves, an owner's villa held quietly, a table where reservations don't exist, a re-routing handled before you notice the problem. Fully bespoke private journeys with Forest Travel typically start from around US$10,000 per person for a week and rise with privacy, season and access; your advisor will tell you honestly where your vision sits before you commit to anything.

The first consultation is complimentary and without obligation. Fully bespoke private journeys typically start from around US$10,000 per person for a week and rise with privacy, season and access; your advisor tells you honestly where your vision sits before you commit.

High-net-worth travelers, multi-generational families, honeymooners and business leaders who expect flawless execution, genuine privacy and access that can't be booked online — and who would rather have one trusted advisor than manage the details themselves.

Our advisors serve clients in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Hebrew, so you are looked after in your own language at home and on the ground.

Online tools and AI can only surface what is already public — the same trip for everyone. Forest Travel opens what isn't searchable: off-market access, owner relationships, real-time problem-solving and the judgment of forty years. We design around you, not around a catalog.
