Hey there,
I'M KRISTIN
luxury travel, handled
We're a multi-destination luxury travel agency who believes you can stop overthinking your trips & start actually enjoying them.
You’ve outgrown chaotic travel.
The endless tabs.
The generic recommendations.
The “luxury” resorts that look nothing like the photos.
You want experiences that feel effortless, elevated, and deeply personal without spending weeks researching every detail yourself.
That's where Salty Luxe comes in!
From luxury beachfront escapes in Mexico and the Caribbean to unforgettable Hawaii vacations, elevated Mediterranean sailings, and adults-only Virgin Voyages experiences, every itinerary is designed with intention, ease, and your real life in mind.
Because luxury isn’t just about where you stay.
It’s about how you feel while you’re there.
finding inspiration from
Sunset swims, quiet mornings, real conversations, and trips that actually feel like a vacation.
my philosophy
I believe the best travel feels seamless.
Not overpacked.
Not stressful.
Not performative.
Just beautifully aligned with the way you actually want to live, rest, celebrate, and reconnect.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a multi-generational family vacation, an adults-only escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime group trip, my role is to remove the overwhelm and replace it with clarity, confidence, and excitement.
The details matter more than most people realize:
the right location, the right resort, the right room category, the right pacing, the right experiences...
Because those are the things that transform a "good trip" into one you talk about for years.
the founder
KRISTIN
Based in Mokena, Illinois, Kristin brings real world experience and a planner's eye to every itinerary she designs.
Salty Luxe Travel started the same way many of my clients begin, overwhelmed. In 2022, I planned my destination wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii while working full time and caring for a baby. Somewhere between the logistics and the research, I realized people shouldn't have to do this alone.
By the time our plane landed back home, Salty Luxe Travel was born.
LOVES: early flights, exploring different islands and cultures, immersive travel, trying new foods and iced coffee!

Happiest barefoot at sunset.

I splurge on experiences, skincare, and good coffee.
ALL ABOUT
Sunset swims, quiet mornings, slower afternoons, family time, resort pools, and trips that feel like a real exhale.
NOT ABOUT
Hustle culture, generic itineraries, cookie-cutter resorts, second-guessing, wasted PTO, and boring anything.
agree? we're probably a great fit.
let's work together
Making travel feel like a vacation again.
You don't need to figure this out. You just need someone who already has — and who handles every detail so you can actually enjoy the trip.
