Meet Zofia, your Layla Travel Advisor

I'm Zofia, originally from Poland and now based in Berlin. With a background in fashion, design, and travel, I've always been drawn to beautiful places, exceptional hospitality, and experiences that feel a little out of the ordinary. I love discovering boutique hotels with character, restaurants worth travelling for, and destinations where every detail feels considered. For me, luxury isn't simply about the price tag. It's about finding the right places and experiences for you, so your trip feels effortless, personal, and anything but ordinary.

My interest in travel has always been closely connected to my love of design, aesthetics, and the way a place makes you feel. My background in fashion and design has shaped how I discover destinations, from the atmosphere of a hotel to the character of a neighbourhood or the details that make a restaurant memorable.

I'm particularly drawn to places that combine a strong sense of identity with thoughtful hospitality. That might mean an iconic hotel that genuinely lives up to its reputation, a small family-run property with exceptional service, or a hidden restaurant you would never have found on your own.

Now, as a Travel Advisor at Layla, I bring that perspective to personalised trip planning. I love combining well-known destinations with unexpected discoveries, creating journeys that reflect each traveller's personality rather than simply following a standard luxury itinerary.

I specialise in luxury and bespoke travel across Europe, the United States, and Asia. From the French Riviera, Lake Como, and the Amalfi Coast to the Swiss Alps, Berlin, Vienna, and Prague, I love finding places with character, beautiful design, and exceptional hospitality. I'm also passionate about city escapes in New York and Los Angeles, as well as discovering boutique hotels, restaurants, and cultural experiences in China.

Whether you're dreaming of summer in Saint-Tropez, a winter escape to the Alps, a romantic weekend on Lake Como, or a trip combining Shanghai's contemporary energy with China's cultural heritage, I can help you explore the possibilities and find the experiences that suit your style.

Luxury and boutique hotels. I love finding properties with personality, thoughtful design, and genuinely exceptional service. For me, the right hotel is about more than its star rating. It's about its atmosphere, location, and the experience it creates.

Romantic escapes and special occasions. From a weekend on the Italian coast to a honeymoon or a special celebration, I enjoy creating trips that feel personal and memorable, with the right balance of beautiful surroundings, meaningful experiences, and time to relax.

Design-led city breaks and cultural experiences. My background in fashion and design draws me towards destinations rich in art, architecture, style, and food. I love helping travellers discover a city's character through its neighbourhoods, independent boutiques, restaurants, and cultural experiences.

Bespoke multi-destination journeys. I enjoy combining iconic destinations with quieter, lesser-known places. That could mean pairing Saint-Tropez with a peaceful village in Provence or bringing together the charm of Vienna and Prague with Berlin's contemporary creative scene.

I believe the best recommendations start with understanding the person travelling. Not everyone wants the same version of luxury. Some people want privacy and tranquillity, others want to be in the heart of the action, and some want a little of both.

I'll help you work out what matters most, then bring together the destinations, accommodation, and experiences that fit your preferences. My goal is to help you discover places you might not have found yourself and return home feeling that you've experienced something truly special.
