About WanderVeil

Team
Who We Are

Rare journeys, made accessible

WanderVeil was born in 2019 from a simple belief: that extraordinary travel should not be the exclusive preserve of the extremely wealthy. We work directly with boutique hotels, specialist operators, and private resorts to surface opportunities that never reach the public booking platforms — giving our members first access to genuine private sales and limited allocations.

More than 1.8 million travellers now trust us to curate their most important journeys. Our team of 35 specialist editors personally review and travel-test every experience on the platform. Nothing appears here that we haven't stood behind ourselves.

How We Got Here

2019
Founded in Edinburgh

Niall and Kavita launch WanderVeil from a converted Georgian townhouse, with a curated list of 18 private hotel experiences and an uncompromising vision of what a travel company could be.

2020
75,000 Members

Through quiet word of mouth, our membership reaches 75,000 discerning travellers within the first year. We expand our editorial team and strengthen our network of private hospitality partners.

2022
Carbon-Zero Commitment

We become one of the first independent travel platforms to commit to full carbon offsetting for every booking, partnering with certified reforestation and ocean conservation programmes globally.

2024
One Million Escapes

We reach one million bookings completed through the platform, saving our collective membership over $310 million compared to standard market rates — a milestone none of us will forget.

2025
1.8 Million Travellers

WanderVeil now serves 1.8 million members across 160+ destinations worldwide. We remain independently owned, resolutely traveller-first, and as quietly excited about the next discovery as we were in 2019.

What Guides Us

Our Principles

🔍
Complete Honesty
Every journey is price-verified against the open market. We only list it when the saving is genuine — no inflated baselines, no obscured fees.
🌍
Lived Experience
Our editors travel — constantly. Each stay, guide, and experience is assessed personally before it appears on WanderVeil. We book what we'd book ourselves.
🌱
Responsible Travel
We partner exclusively with operators who meet our environmental standards, and offset carbon on every booking at no cost to you.
🤝
Community
Our 1.8M members share first-hand accounts, honest reviews, and quiet discoveries. The more we share, the further we all go.
Uncompromising Quality
Only the most highly regarded properties and experiences make our edit. We maintain a high bar because that is what you deserve.
🛡️
Full Protection
Every booking is financially protected. We work only with fully licensed, ATOL/ATAS bonded operators, and every payment is secure.

Common Questions

Are the savings genuinely real?

Yes — always. Every journey is price-checked against the current market rate at the point of listing. We only publish when a saving of at least 15% can be confirmed. Typically our deals save 20–42%.

How do I modify or cancel a booking?

Cancellation terms vary by journey and are always displayed clearly before you confirm. Write to us at hello@wanderveil.com and we'll handle it within 24 hours, usually much sooner.

Is my booking financially protected?

Completely. All payments are processed via PCI-DSS compliant systems, and every booking is ATOL and ATAS bonded. Your financial data is never stored on our servers.

How quickly will I receive confirmation?

Confirmations are sent immediately by email. For bespoke itineraries or group reservations, our team will follow up personally within two business hours with full journey details.

Do you arrange group journeys?

Yes. Groups of eight or more receive additional savings and a dedicated member of our team. Select "Group Journey" in the form opposite and we'll prepare a tailored proposal within one business day.
