Ciao Amici!
A New Way to Travel with Bella
All Are Welcome!
Ciao Amici is Bella Travel Planning’s newest passion project — a global community built around small group travel experiences that inspire connection, curiosity, and unforgettable moments.
Inspired by the sparkle and sisterhood of our women’s group, Ciao Bella, this new travel community is open to everyone who wants to see the world the Bella way — with style, soul, and just the right amount of sass.
Whether you’re flying solo or bringing your partner-in-passport, Ciao Amici is all about meaningful journeys and built-in camaraderie — with a ready-made circle of kindred spirits. Think boutique adventures, thoughtful itineraries, and elevated moments made richer by the people you’re with.
What You'll Experience
Meaningful connections, unforgettable journeys, and a vibrant community of curious travelers — that’s the Ciao Amici way.
Small Groups, Big Connection
Travel with a curated group of like-minded adventurers—solo travelers, couples, and friends—who value discovery, authenticity, and camaraderie. You may start as a solo traveler, but by day three, you’ll be clinking glasses with new friends who feel like old ones.
Active, Immersive Itineraries
We explore the world in motion—sometimes on foot, sometimes by bike, sometimes aboard a boutique boat gliding through the Amazon. It's all about chasing wonder, uncovering hidden gems, and saying yes to the unexpected. You’ll earn your wine, your stories, and your sunset view. No schlepping. No campfire beans. Just wow-worthy adventure, done the Ciao Amici way.
Not Just a Trip—It’s a Becky Trip
Handpicked routes. Vetted experiences. And yes—Becky herself is along for the ride to smooth the details and elevate the fun. No big-ass buses, no crowded tours—just meaningful adventures with a small crew that feels like friends. Prefer a quiet café over the group wine tasting? Every trip includes space to wander solo, journal by a lake, or sip a glass of something lovely on your own terms.

Upcoming Ciao Amici Adventures
Mallorca Bike Adventure
May 17–22, 2026
$6,599 per person, double occupancy | $1,899 single supplement
Regular bikes & e-bikes available | Non-riders welcome (same price)
A sun-dappled cycling escape along Mallorca’s scenic coast and through its lush vineyards—crafted for those who ride, roam, or simply savor the moment. With a boutique group size, flexible pacing, and a chase van always nearby, this is cycling the Bella way: supported, stylish, and full of flavor. All hotels are boutique, luxury properties: Jumeriah Port Soller and Castell Son Claret.
Your pace, your path: Multiple ride lengths with support always available—so you can pedal hard, coast gently, or stop for photos without pressure.
Taste of the island: A family-run winery welcomes us for a tasting paired with Iberian Serrano ham and manchego cheeses.
A Michelin-starred highlight: One exquisite dinner at Sa Clastra—an unforgettable evening, not the nightly norm.
Coastal breeze meets vineyard views: Pedal beside the sea, then weave through the serenity of Mallorca’s vineyards.
On-ride treats: A couple of glasses of wine each night plus snacks along the route—so it’s not fully all-inclusive, but beautifully balanced.
Special group moment: Midweek, we’ll gather for a private sailboat outing—a shared highlight to soak in the island from the sea.
This is Mallorca the Bella way—intimate, elevated, and unforgettable.
Amazon Cruise on Aqua Nera
October 6–10, 2026
From $6,840 per person, double occupancy
All-inclusive (meals, drinks, excursions, transfers)
Sail the Amazon aboard the Aqua Nera, an intimate, design-forward vessel carrying just 20 suites (40 guests). Each spacious suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, framing the rainforest like a living work of art.
Boutique luxury afloat: Relax in panoramic lounges, unwind in the outdoor plunge pool, or retreat to the spa—all while the Amazon flows past your window.
Expedition-style discovery: Twice-daily adventures by skiffs bring you deep into tributaries where pink dolphins surface, monkeys leap through the canopy, sloths….well…sloth, and macaws streak the skies.
Rainforest immersion in comfort: Kayaking, jungle treks, night safaris, early-morning expeditions—all guided by expert naturalists.
Culinary excellence: Experience Amazon-inspired cuisine crafted by renowned chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, transforming native ingredients into unforgettable meals.
Optional Machu Picchu add-on: Extend your journey with a guided visit to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, either before or after the cruise, based on group preference.
This is the Amazon the Bella way—exclusive, immersive, and extraordinary.
