A Tastemaker’s Approach to Unforgettable Travel
Through Shayla Copas Travel, I craft bespoke vacations for design lovers, culture cravers, foodies, and sophisticates seeking la dolce vita. My immersive itineraries are for travelers who want to grow and learn as they explore—and have their hearts and minds changed forever.
For a Vacation That Dazzles
Creative Itineraries & Concierge Service
Let’s elevate what a vacation can be. With my keen designer’s eye, I uncover properties around the world that offer you something extra special—a sumptuous stay with thoughtful details that take inspiration from your destination. I only send my clients to the resorts, hotels, and villas with the most gracious hosts, staff who learn your name (and favorite cocktail!), and a team that I trust to take care of every request. And of course, you’ll get white-glove service from me as well, as I plan all aspects of your journey to perfection with every detail personalized to your desires.
We’ll round out your vacation with exclusive VIP perks and experiences courtesy of my network of vetted travel suppliers around the globe. This isn’t just a trip; it’s an opportunity to dive deep and acquaint yourself with the customs, tastes, sounds, and colors that make a culture so irresistibly unique.
Ultimately, my goal is to give you a travel experience that breaks your heart a little bit when you go home—because you ache to leave a piece of it with the people, places, and moments that have touched your soul.
My Signature Planning Process
1) Connect & Start
Each new travel experience begins with a complimentary consultation call. I’ll get to know your travel dreams and desires, share more about my process, and ensure every last question of yours is answered. I’ll also share my Travel Design Fee with you, which varies based on trip length and complexity.
2) Proposal & Design
Once you complete your Design Fee payment, crafting your dream vacation begins! We’ll arrange a much longer intake call where I can dig into all the details of your ideal escape. Then, I’ll create your personalized proposal and tweak it based on your feedback until it’s a perfect fit.
3) Book & Depart
I’ll take care of booking and arranging everything for you—including hotels, transfers, tours, restaurant reservations and more. Before departure, you’ll receive your full itinerary in a mobile portal, as well as my personal contact info—don’t hesitate to reach out while you travel for any assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shayla Copas Travel
I design high-end, luxury travel experiences for clients craving rockstar treatment and intimate, immersive excursions. I typically book five-star properties (with the occasional four-star), private guided experiences, and hands-on activities you can’t find on your own!
In addition to designing individual vacations, I curate and lead very special itineraries to places I hold near and dear to my heart—and YOU are invited to join. These exclusive small-group experiences are often themed around design and interiors, adventure, culinary and wine experiences, and cultural immersion.

Often, yes! While perks aren’t guaranteed, I am partnered with leading luxury hotels and resorts worldwide, and they tend to treat my clients very well. In fact, I often reach out directly to the general manager or guest relations director before your arrival to make sure that everything is perfect!
Through my host agency Gifted Travel Network, I am also affiliated with Virtuoso, the world’s foremost collection of luxury travel companies. My Virtuoso connection often nets my clients special perks like room upgrades (subject to availability), exclusive amenities, resort/spa credits, exclusive receptions on board cruises, and more.
I am also part of several hotel Elite Programs which garner special VIP treatment for clients, including Belmond Bellini, Marriott STARS & Luminous, Hyatt Prive and more!
Yes—while there is not one single industry-wide certification, I am certified with a number of leading luxury travel suppliers and destinations, which represents my breadth of knowledge.
I am also a graduate of the Travel MBA program by Gifted Travel Network, a member of GTN’s Travel Business University, and a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors. I maintain these memberships to continue my industry education and ensure I’m always providing my clients with the latest travel guidance and insights.
I design vacations to destinations worldwide—because my network of vetted travel suppliers is truly global. My specialty doesn’t lie in any one region, but is more about how you yearn to travel. If you’re seeking an exclusive travel experience that’s equal parts pampering and eye-opening, with special touches and properties hand-picked by a luxury trendsetter, then I am the travel advisor for you!
My design fee enables me to pick the very best accommodations and experiences for my clients, always. I work in your best interest, not for travel suppliers or properties. My fee also gives you complete concierge service and care above and beyond what you would receive if you booked online.
A reputable travel advisor can ensure you are making the very most of your vacation investment, by getting to know your needs and crafting a personalized itinerary to match—this is the opposite of a “cookie cutter” vacation. Travel advisors are also often able to get their clients special experiences and exclusive perks not available to the wider public.
But perhaps the BEST reason to work with a travel advisor is the peace of mind you enjoy—my clients know I have their back throughout the entire travel experience, and they can simply call me (any time of day or night!) while they travel for expert assistance.
Simply connect with me on your complimentary consultation call to get started! We’ll use this call to make sure we’re a good fit, get all your questions answered, and once I learn more about what you’re looking for I’ll send you the design fee. (this varies based on trip length and complexity, and begins at $250).
