Aurelia Escapes works in affiliation with Archer Travel, a host agency established in 1952 with decades of experience and a long track record of satisfied travellers. Through Archer’s global network, we collaborate with carefully vetted, specialised travel suppliers who truly understand the nuances of each travel style, destination and experience — from boutique and luxury travel to wellness, adventure and complex multi-location journeys.
Our approach is deeply personal. We’ve travelled extensively throughout Europe, North America and South America, and we don’t plan trips from behind a desk. Founder Selma Aurelia has lived in seven countries, and founder Thor has lived in six. Travel runs through our veins, and that lived experience shapes every journey we design.
Founder Selma Aurelia is also an energy healer, and as siblings with deep spiritual roots in our family, we’re drawn to creating journeys that go beyond sightseeing. Our wellness and cultural experiences are designed to ground, rejuvenate and leave a lasting impression that stays with you.
We’re delighted to help you tailor a trip that feels effortless, meaningful and unmistakably yours.
