Laura Madrid has always had an intense passion for travel, people, food, and experiences. Laura's fascination with travel was sparked at a young at age when her adventurous mother piloted her kids and dog in a five-seater single engine airplane through the towering mountains of Central America to start a new life for her family in Costa Rica.

Since then, Laura has also lived, studied, and worked in Italy, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. She has traveled to over 80 countries, returning to many of them dozens of times, and has had the wonderful fortune to escort her own children to 40+ countries around the globe.

Laura’s professional background includes over 20 years in key operations and sales & marketing roles with top luxury hotel companies: Four Seasons, St. Regis, and Ritz-Carlton. Having launched her own travel consulting business in January 2011 and affiliating with Travel Experts, A Virtuoso agency, Laura has grown an uber successful travel consulting business that specializes in upmarket leisure travel with a focus on adventure, wellness, gastronomy & wine. A self-professed hotel junkie, Laura takes it upon herself to personally inspect the world’s special and unique gems in order to guide her clients to just the place and room that will make their journey a stand out. Laura’s discerning clients are affluent families with children, empty-nester & couples who live primarily in the United States, Canada and Australia - and who rank travel as one of their top leisure priorities and investments and rely on Resort to Laura Madrid to manage it flawlessly.
