Our story

Why SKYMIA exists

Travel better together.

SKYMIA started with trips around Southeast Asia, some with friends, some with family and some alone.

Our founder is naturally introverted. Travelling alone brought out a confidence they didn't know they had: to see new places, to start conversations with strangers, and to enjoy their own company.

But something was always missing. There were people worth knowing on every trip, and no easy way to stay in touch without it feeling awkward. And the best moments had no one to share them with. Even asking for a photo felt strange.

So we built the trip we'd wished for. You still travel on your own terms, with a room of your own. But you spend nine days in one private villa with up to seven others who chose the same thing. By the end, staying in touch doesn't feel awkward. It feels natural.

It starts on the drive from the airport. Markets full of colour and smells, shops that look nothing like home, and people who, wherever you go, want what we all want: to connect.

Come on your own. Leave with your kind of people.

And the name? SKYMIA comes from Skyla and Mia, two much loved cats who stay at home while our founder travels. This way, they come on every trip.

Your own room. Always.

Your kind of people.

Every guest applies. We look for people who are open minded, respectful and glad to share the trip, in two age groups: 30 to 49 and 50 to 67.

Unpack once.

A private villa with a pool, chosen by us and yours for the whole stay. No packing up every other morning.

Met when you land.

Airport transfers both ways, and your own driver with a private van most days. Tell us the plan and your driver takes you there.

A holiday, not a tour.

Slow mornings, two dinners together and curated experiences your group picks. The rest of the time is yours.

One price. No surprises.

The villa, eight breakfasts, five lunches, two dinners together, and the days you'll talk about for years: a private catamaran at sunset, then either the Big Buddha and Old Town or a morning with elephants.

Apply for your spot

Small on purpose

We would rather host eight people properly than thirty people badly.
