YOUR STAY SETS THE RHYTHM

Let’s start with
your kind of stay.

Where you stay sets the rhythm for the rest of your trip. Tell us your hotel or villa style, who’s coming, how much you want to move around and where you would happily splurge.

We narrow the possibilities, explain the trade-offs and put the details into one coherent plan.

A DAY WITH ROOM TO BREATHE

A rhythm, not a checklist.

Start gently

Give arrival day room to unfold. The best dinner does not have to be on the first night.

Make it fit the family

Let ages, meal timing, shade and practical needs shape the day.

Leave room for a Plan B

Weather changes. People change their minds. A considered plan allows for both.

What does a private travel planner do?

We learn how you like to travel, narrow the options, and create personalized recommendations for where to stay, eat and spend your time. BABUSHKA adds trusted local connections and defined concierge support where available.

How is this different from Google or AI?

Use them — they are useful for information. You’re hiring Babushka for judgment, context, trusted relationships, coordination and a human who understands the whole trip.

Does Babushka plan family travel?

Yes. We consider children’s ages, meal timing, pace, transportation, childcare needs and experiences the adults will enjoy too.

Do you book my trip for me?

You contract with and pay travel suppliers directly. Babushka helps you decide what to book, who to use and how the trip should come together.

Which destinations do you know?

Our Little Black Book begins in Saint Martin / St. Maarten, Anguilla, St. Barth and selected destinations in France. We confirm the fit of each inquiry and expand only where our knowledge and relationships are real.

Can I work with Babushka in Russian?

Yes. Planning and concierge communication are available in English and Russian. Tell us your preferred language when you inquire.

What does in-trip support include?

Concierge support is agreed for your trip before you commit, including the channels, hours and kinds of help included. It is not an open-ended or emergency-response service.
