Welcome to Élan Escapes
Curated. Tusted.Personal
I’m Ali Varey, the travel advisor behind Élan Escapes — a small, home-based travel business based in Ifold, on the Surrey and Sussex border. I work with clients across both counties and beyond, helping them plan holidays that feel effortless from start to finish.
Everyone is invited. Whether it’s a package holiday to Spain, a family break, a cruise, ski trip, or the trip of a lifetime — I’m here to make travel simple, personal, and stress-free.
I believe travel should be more than ticking boxes — it should feel considered, smooth, and tailored to you. That’s why I created a service built on clarity, personal attention, and genuine care — the kind of support that turns “just a trip” into something special.
I have access to over 100 trusted travel partners and get paid by them when you book, so my service comes at no extra cost to you.
No booking fees. No pressure. Just honest advice and real support from someone who knows how to make things run smoothly.
This is travel the way it should be: thoughtful, seamless, and made just for you — whoever you are, and wherever you're going.
