WHO IS KIRSTY AND CO
KIRSTY MITCHELL
FOUNDER | LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR
MALDIVES SPECIALIST
Living on Sydney's Northern Beaches, Kirsty is your go-to expert for luxury travel. With a deep love for the tropics, she has carved out a niche as a Maldives specialist—her superpower? Instinctively knowing the perfect island resort for every traveller. She just knows.
When she’s not curating dream getaways, you’ll find her somewhere between a sunrise swim and a strong flat white - scouting the globe’s most stylish stays, off-grid gems, and unforgettable new experiences. She’s always a few steps ahead of the travel curve - and never one to say no to a last minute adventure.
With a sharp eye for detail and an intuitive feel for what makes a stay special, Kirsty has a knack for spotting the subtleties that elevate a trip - from flawless service and clever design to the little luxuries you didn’t know you needed (until they appeared).
But beyond her expertise, Kirsty is all about connection - warm, down to earth and always up for a travel chat.
Her version of modern luxury? Personal. Effortless. A little bit magic.
"It’s not about gold taps and stuffy service - it’s about soul. Authenticity. Connection. It’s the freedom to unplug - from the noise, the routine, the inbox - and truly slow down and immerse yourself in the moment. It’s about slow and meaningful travel'“
And that’s exactly what she’ll deliver - seamlessly, stylishly, and with her signature touch of sparkle.
