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.

For her, it’s less show, more substance. More soul, more connection and more authenticity - the kind of moments that stay with you. It’s not about polished perfection and rehearsed service - it’s the warmth of the welcome, the easy conversations and the quiet ease of everything just working.

Never scripted. Always personal. It’s the moments you don’t see coming - the extra glass of wine, the chat that turns into a story, the feeling you wish you could bottle and take home.

That’s where the magic is.

And that’s exactly what she’ll deliver - seamlessly, stylishly, and with her signature touch of sparkle.
