The unmistakable “all for one, one for all” spirit at Newport’s La Vida Travel is evident from the moment you step through the front door. There’s a genuine buzz about this award-winning agency, a feeling that something special is happening here.
Tucked away in a residential part of the city, La Vida Travel, founded by Karen Marin Reyes and expertly managed by Lisa Miles, has become a true oasis of calm. It’s a place where clients are encouraged to slow down, kick back, and dream big as they plan their next unforgettable escape.
At its heart is a close-knit, passionate team who genuinely care. Every itinerary is crafted with expertise, enthusiasm, and a personal touch, ensuring each client feels valued, listened to, and excited for what’s to come.
That dedication has not gone unnoticed. La Vida Travel is proud to be recognised across the industry, having won an impressive collection of prestigious awards:
- Travel Trade Gazette Awards – Top in Wales and Top in the UK and Ireland
- Travel Weekly Awards – Top of Wales and the West, and UK and Ireland Winner
- Style of the City Awards – Travel Agency of the Year
These accolades reflect La Vida Travel’s continued commitment to excellence, innovation, and leadership within the travel industry — and most importantly, to delivering exceptional experiences for every client.
Inside, the agency is a picture of modern luxury. Beautifully designed and comfortably furnished, the space features multiple consultation desks, a well-stocked drinks fridge (because every great holiday starts with a refreshment!), and a stunning VIP client lounge. Complete with a large screen, the lounge plays host to private appointments, group bookings, and bespoke travel planning sessions, bringing each client’s vision to life in style.
Watch This Space — 2026 and Beyond
Looking ahead, the future is just as exciting. As La Vida Travel gears up for 2026, plans are already underway for their very own charity event on 3rd October this autumn. Expect an evening of glitz, glamour, and a gorgeous atmosphere, as clients and friends of the business are invited to come together for a night of fun, celebration, and giving back.
With bold ideas, beautiful spaces, and a team united by passion and purpose, La Vida Travel continues to redefine what it means to book a holiday, proving that when expertise meets heart, the journey truly begins before you even leave the door.
Word from the Founder
”At the heart of La Vida Travel is an unwavering belief in people – both the clients we serve and the team who make it all possible. I am incredibly proud to work alongside a group of passionate travel professionals who live and breathe what they do.
I actively encourage my team to explore the world themselves, because true travel expertise comes from first-hand experience. Only by walking the streets, staying in the resorts, and immersing ourselves in each destination can we genuinely craft journeys that feel personal, inspired, and unforgettable.
For us, the personal touch is everything. Every conversation, every detail, and every recommendation is thoughtfully considered to ensure your next holiday is not just booked but beautifully designed around you. Our Travel Experts are here to create the kind of getaway that lingers in your imagination long after you’ve returned home.
Most importantly, when you book with La Vida Travel, you become part of something special.”
