 WONDERLUXE - MEET THE TEAM
  ABOVE AND BEYOND
MEET SHEENA SUMNER
  When Sheena Sumner left school in 1998, she joined a high street travel agency for a short period before embarking on a lengthy career in IT, working across numerous industries, including global hotel chains. When not at her desk, Sheena was either jet-setting or planning her next trip – what was once a hobby quickly became a natural obsession. The travel bug had set in!
Recognising the industry was quickly changing with the introduction of e-commerce, Sheena noticed a gap in the market for a travel company that met modern standards but offered traditional service. Wonderluxe Travel was launched with the promise of always offering the personal touch. Sheena and her fast- growing team of experts offer services that are entirely tailored to their clients’ taste, drawing upon a wealth of travel experience and close relationships with the world’s finest resorts and hotels.
Sheena’s pick for an epic trip?
The Caribbean or South East Asia!
We know exactly how to exceed your travel expectations
Q. What are your hand luggage must-haves?
A. It’s all about feeling fresh when you step off a flight. Face masks are a must for long-haul to arrive looking your best, hand sanitiser and a portable multi-use charger.
Q. What countries are set to be the most popular next year?
A. Greece has and will continue to be a leader in the luxury travel market. Qatar is set to make a stamp in 2022 as it hosts the next World Cup. Remote islands will also be hugely popular – our top picks are the Brando in the South Pacific, The Bawah Reserve in the Indonesian Ocean and Canouan Island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Be inspired and start planning your unforgettable, rejuvenating and exciting holiday to a worldwide destination today.
Q. What’s the most epic trip you’ve
ever booked?
A. We have recently booked the most amazing holiday for one of our clients to celebrate a milestone birthday – a multi-centre trip around Asia, staying at some of the finest tier-one luxury hotels in the world. It’s all the more exciting to book when there’s a special occasion at play – this is when the personal touch really shines. We want to exceed clients’ expectations – it’s not just about having a great holiday but also being made to feel valued.
Q. Tell us about your favourite hidden gem
A. Villa Treville in Positano. Positano has grown in popularity, but you only know about Villa Treville if you know.
Q. What does ‘luxury’ mean to you?
A. I like to talk about this a lot, as one person’s luxury is entirely different from the next. To me, luxury is unique, where your expectations and requirements are not only met but exceeded. Exclusivity, pampering and a little adventure.
