Meet Amanda
Hello, and welcome!
I’m Amanda, founder of Love of Beaches®, a boutique consultancy dedicated to the world’s finest beach destinations. Luxury beach travel isn’t just my profession; it’s a lifelong passion that has shaped every step of my 25-year career across hospitality, luxury travel, editorial content, and ultra-high-net-worth guest relations.
I’ve had the privilege of working closely with royalty, public figures, and elite travellers, and subsequently, I understand that real luxury travel lies not just in the setting, but in the seamlessness, trust, and emotional connection behind every experience.
Throughout my career, I’ve held senior specialist roles focused on the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Dubai, often creating complex, tailor-made itineraries for discerning travellers who expect nothing but the best. I don’t just know these destinations; I live and breathe them.
I bring this depth of expertise to two audiences:
For travellers, I offer trusted guidance, authentic hotel reviews, and refined destination insights, curated personally to help you discover the beach holiday of your dreams. Whether you're seeking an extraordinary island hideaway in the Maldives, an iconic 7-star hotel in Dubai, a boutique beachfront retreat in Mauritius, or a secluded private island in the Seychelles, you're in the right place.
For luxury resorts, hotels, tourism boards, and premium travel brands, I work discreetly behind the scenes — helping sharpen storytelling, elevate guest experience, and strengthen brand presence across the UK and European markets.
(If you're a brand interested in collaborating, please request free access to the Love of Beaches® Business Portal where you’ll find more information.)
Why I specialise in beach travel?
Because to me, a day on a warm, sunny beautiful beach is the ultimate luxury. There’s nothing more restorative than soft sand underfoot and the ocean breeze on my skin, it’s where life slows down and the extraordinary feels effortless. Beach travel has always been my personal passion. Having travelled extensively throughout the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Dubai, I offer first-hand knowledge, real-world insights, and an unwavering commitment to sharing the very best of these remarkable destinations.
Thank you for stopping by, it’s truly appreciated. I look forward to inspiring your next journey.
Happy Travelling!
Amanda
Founder and Editor, Love of Beaches®
