Aurea Escapes

Aurea Escapes is a founder-led travel-curation brand created by Iris van Es, specializing in personalized, premium journeys designed around each traveler’s wishes, interests, and pace. Rather than offering standard packages, Iris works directly with clients to plan tailor-made escapes that balance luxury, adventure, and relaxation. The service covers the details that make travel smooth and enjoyable, including accommodation, experiences, airport transfers, and dinner reservations. Each destination and recommendation is selected for its quality, character, comfort, and authenticity, with transparent guidance throughout the planning process.

Aurea Escapes creates trips for solo travelers, families, and friends, combining well-known highlights with distinctive local discoveries. Featured experiences span Lake Como, Cape Town, Scandinavia, the Alps, the Caribbean, the UK, and South-East Asia, with themes ranging from lakeside romance and mountain retreats to coastal dining, culture, and heritage. The brand also shares destination inspiration and travel guidance through its blog and website. Its aim is to help clients travel safely and comfortably while enjoying a thoughtful, seamless escape shaped specifically for them.
