Reviews.
I went on Candy and Jonty's group trip to Southern Thailand and it was an absolute blast. Seeing them communicate with locals was incredible (+ very helpful) and they knew all the best places to visit.
- Cassie Putt, from the USA
All the resorts were great! It was a really fun way of travelling. Good way to meet new people. And all expectations were indeed fulfilled. I think the trip overall was really structured and a good combination of different activities.
- Ulrikke Drescher, from Denmark
Absolutely. Great balance of activities. Got to see and experience a lot. Great group of people. Liked being led by “locals” versus a tour group. It was excellent. So happy I got to participate and meet everyone. Can’t wait to see what you plan next.

Money, Money, Money
What we do with it
Amoriia was built with three questions in mind.
How can we support local tourism financially where money actually goes to the families we see everyday? How can we create a space for travellers to experience luxury travel that is personal? How do we combine the two?
The answer was simple. When booking a trip with Amoriia, 50% of all the profits go towards supporting local businesses. It is our utmost pleasure to support locals financially in such visible ways.
20% of Amoriia's profits go to our hosts. We understand the pressure it takes to keep a group happy and build a community of like-minded people. For this reason, we pay hosts a handsome salary to travel.
Another 20% goes towards Amoriia's admin team to help with bookkeeping, finances, running costs, emailing and weekly meeting.
The remaining 10% is to help finance marketing so we can get the word out about our group trips and continue paying creators, influencers and industry experts to travel.
