I’m Kelli Pike, Owner and Certified Travel Advisor at Marisola Travel.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the ocean — its calm, its rhythm, and the sense of peace it brings. Growing up on the West Coast, I found joy in the simplicity of sand between my toes, the scent of salt in the air, and the feeling that time moves a little slower by the sea. That love for the wide open water and exploring hidden gem beaches eventually took me to tropical climates in far away places. I began to grow into my calling: helping others experience that same effortless beauty through luxury tropical travel.
As a Tropical Destination Travel Expert, I specialize in adult-focused, coastal getaways to the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico & Italy — curating journeys that strike the perfect balance between laid-back indulgence and meaningful adventure. Whether it’s a private pool suite overlooking turquoise waters, a sailing excursion along the coast, or a sunset dinner under the palms, every experience is crafted to reflect your pace and your style. For some, that means doing absolutely nothing but sinking into the serenity of the sea. For others, it’s about discovery — exploring hidden coves, tasting regional cuisine, or setting out on a day of snorkeling and boating across crystalline lagoons. Whatever your vision, I bring it to life with seamless planning, personalized touches, and a dedication to detail that allows you to simply arrive and breathe it all in.
I have traveled extensively through the islands and coastlines that inspire me — from Hawaii’s lush landscapes to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the magical Mediterranean beaches of Sicily, Italy — always seeking the balance between luxury and authenticity. My goal is simple: to create unforgettable tropical escapes that feel as easy and rejuvenating as the destinations themselves.
At Marisola, my mission is to redefine what island travel feels like — effortless, immersive, and entirely your own.
