Hi, I’m Lesketa Mann — proud founder and CEO of Mann’s Platinum Travel.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in the travel industry, I specialize in helping couples, groups, and adults over 40 plan personalized, seamless, and truly unforgettable getaways. I believe travel should be more than just a trip — it should be a transformative experience filled with joy, connection, and comfort. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury cruise through the Caribbean, a Mediterranean escape, a food-focused wellness retreat, or a girlfriend getaway to reset and reconnect, I’m here to make your journey smooth from start to finish.
I launched Mann’s Platinum Travel because I saw a need for a more elevated, boutique approach to travel planning — one where clients feel heard, supported, and completely taken care of. Too many people spend hours researching, comparing options, or feeling overwhelmed by logistics. My mission is to remove that stress, replace it with excitement, and create custom itineraries that reflect your personality, preferences, and travel style. I take care of the details so you can focus on the experience — and the memories.
My clients come to me because they want more than cookie-cutter vacations. They’re looking for meaningful moments, smooth transitions, hand-selected resorts, and curated activities that align with their interests. That’s why every trip I plan is as unique as the traveler behind it. No two itineraries are the same — and that’s exactly how it should be.
Some of my most popular travel specialties include:
* Ocean and River Cruises: Whether it’s sailing through the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, or Alaska, I match my clients with the right cruise line, cabin, excursions, and perks to elevate their experience.
* Mediterranean Getaways: Italy, Greece, Spain — the Mediterranean is filled with romance, history, and beauty. I help travelers dive deep into these cultures while enjoying upscale accommodations, wine tastings, and private tours.
* All-Inclusive Escapes: Perfect for adults looking to unwind without having to make constant decisions. I know the top adult-only resorts and will help you pick the perfect one based on your vibe — whether it’s pure relaxation, vibrant nightlife, or both.
* Wellness and Retreat Travel: Think yoga by the sea, spa days, cooking classes, candle-making, and slow mornings with views. I love helping women (especially over 40) plan travel that fills their soul.
* Group Travel for Adults 40+: Whether it’s couples traveling together, girlfriend getaways, milestone birthdays, or multi-generational escapes — I excel at handling logistics, keeping the experience smooth, and making sure everyone feels cared for.
I’m also passionate about experiential travel — travel that isn’t just about the destination, but about the deeper moments you’ll carry with you for a lifetime. Maybe it’s the private cooking class you took in Tuscany, the perfume you crafted in Paris, or the sunrise hike you didn’t expect to love — these are the moments that matter. I weave those into every itinerary.
Beyond travel planning, I pride myself on offering a level of personal service that’s rare these days. I don’t treat my clients like transactions — I treat them like family. That means being available to answer questions, working through any changes with care, and checking in before, during, and after your trip to make sure everything flows beautifully.
A little more about me: I’ve been married for over 30 years and love traveling with my husband, our close circle of friends, and our three adult children. I’m a lifelong learner, a lover of Italian, Mediterranean, and Mexican cuisine, and someone who values meaningful conversations, deep laughter, and well-crafted experiences — both at home and abroad.
Owning and growing Mann’s Platinum Travel has been one of the greatest joys of my life because it allows me to combine everything I love: service, planning, connection, and of course, the magic of travel. My clients trust me to bring their visions to life — and I take that responsibility seriously.
Whether you’re planning a quick weekend escape or the trip of a lifetime, I’d love to be your travel partner. Let’s connect, talk about your goals, and start crafting an experience that speaks to your soul.
You bring the dream. I’ll bring the planning.
