A Journey of Service, Soul, and Sophistication

At the heart of Lena Luxury Travel is Allena Gates—a traveler at heart, a Navy veteran, and a visionary dedicated to crafting luxury travel experiences that resonate on a personal level. Allena’s journey into luxury travel was inspired by a lifelong curiosity about the world, an unwavering commitment to service, and a deep belief that travel should be as transformative as it is luxurious.

From Discipline to Dreaming

Allena’s story began in the Navy, where she learned the power of precision, leadership, and resilience—values she now infuses into every journey she designs. Her years in property management and logistics taught her that true luxury isn’t just about extravagance—it’s about seamless execution and thoughtful care.

But it was her own wanderlust—standing in quiet awe in Kyoto’s bamboo groves, sharing laughter over candlelit dinners in Paris, feeling the sun warm her face in the Maldives—that became the compass guiding her purpose: to create journeys that are as unique as the people she serves.

Why Work with Allena?

Allena’s approach to travel is rooted in connection—not just to breathtaking destinations, but to the people and stories behind them. For her, luxury isn’t just about five-star accommodations or private jets; it’s about understanding what makes each client unique and crafting an experience that’s a perfect reflection of their spirit.

She believes that the most luxurious journeys are those that feel effortless—where every detail is seamless, every moment is intentional, and every trip becomes a cherished memory.
  • Visionary Craftsmanship: Allena doesn’t just plan trips—she creates journeys that speak to the soul.
  • Luxury with Integrity: She believes luxury should be conscious and sustainable, respecting the beauty of the world we explore.
  • A Personal Guide: From your first conversation to your final sunset toast, Allena is your trusted partner and personal concierge.
  • Surprise & Delight: Expect the unexpected. With Allena, every journey holds the promise of surprise and elegance.

A Philosophy of Authentic Luxury

Allena believes that luxury is more than plush accommodations—it’s about feeling known, cared for, and connected to something bigger than yourself. It’s in the small, thoughtful details and the quiet elegance of a journey designed just for you.

A Message from Allena

"I’ve always believed that travel has the power to change us—to open our eyes, to touch our hearts, and to connect us to something bigger. My mission is simple: to create journeys that are as beautiful, inspiring, and unique as you are."
