About Ayoka
Hi, I'm Miriam Van Noten...
I am the founder of Ayoka, which specializes in the luxury segment. I call myself a travel architect with more than 25 years of experience.
I didn't just choose the African name “AYOKA” at random. Literally, it means “someone who brings joy,” and that fits me perfectly, especially on the continent where I lost my heart!
To strengthen my position in the travel market, I have been a member of the “Travel Experts”-group since 2012, where we unify our knowledge with more than 100 enterprising travel experts.
For me, this group is an umbrella partner, so I don't have to worry about contracts, payments, and administration. This gives me access to an extensive global network with Ayoka, allowing me to devote all my time as a travel architect to develop beautiful trips with special travel conditions.
Customization is the standard for me and the reason why I love Ayoka so much. I use my experience and knowledge to the fullest in every unique trip. Combining unforgettable experiences with fascinating locations, topped with my own passion... That's what Ayoka stands for!

How it works
How do I roll?
Let's talk about your wishes
Are you far too busy, or you simply don't feel like planning your next trip yourself? Then you've come to the right place. After a short conversation first, we'll work together to create your unforgettable holiday. The more information you give me, the better I'll know what will suit you and, more importantly, what won't. You won't waste any time, and I will figure everything out for you!
My architectural-skills
The search for your ideal holiday experience begins after a payment of a €250 deposit (Note that: This amount will be deducted upon booking. It's not lost money, but it is a deposit). I will design your trip from start to finish, tailor-made to your needs, at of course the most competitive rates. Whatever your travel dreams, no bridge is too far for me!
Make a difference
And for me, it doesn't stop with your signature; I offer the complete package. We'll discuss all your concerns beforehand. During your trip, I'll also be there to handle any unforeseen issues (organizational, health, structural, etc.), but also if you suddenly have a brilliant idea and need my assistance. I'll follow along with you so you can rest easy.
Pure enjoyment
Relax and enjoy a luxurious resort
Do you dream of idyllic white beaches and towering palm trees? Do you love diving into the clear blue water from your terrace? A beach holiday in an exotic luxury resort means blissful tranquility and intense enjoyment for you? How about the heavenly beaches of French Polynesia? They are among the most beautiful places on earth, not only above water but also below. A wonderful destination to unwind!
Are you more inclined to a beautifully furnished villa (on your own private island or otherwise) in the Indian Ocean? You alone with nature; the epitome of rejuvenation. Or would you prefer a luxury resort with a variety of fun activities?
However you envision your paradise, I'll definitely find it for you!
Experience trips
Experience the true colours of a country with a round trip
Is traveling for you an opportunity to intensely experience the colors of a country? Do you experience pure pleasure in immersing yourself in a completely different culture? Do you enjoy braving impressive natural scenery yourself, or do you prefer to observe it from a distance? For me, an experiential journey is a captivating interplay of both culture and nature. Depending on the destination, I tailor it completely to your wishes. A safari in Manyoni or Phinda Game Reserve, a visit to the mini-kingdom of Swaziland, and a delicious high tea on the rooftop terrace of Camissa House in Cape Town are just a few must-dos in South Africa. In Sri Lanka, I offer you the variety of the landscape with a breathtaking train ride through the splendor of this country. And there's truly so much more...
Is such a trip something for you, but the planning isn't? I'd be happy to take care of that part of your trip.
Marriage trips
The trip of a lifetime to dream away together
Your honeymoon. The start of your life together. It can be truly wonderful. For some couples, that means a fantastic round trip, for others, it's pure enjoyment of the endless starry splendor from the beach of their luxurious retreat. Or how about a sublime safari experience where the adrenaline in your bodies will fuel your love even more? Somewhere, in your private lodge, you'll feel like it's just the two of you in this world? Or why not island hop in the Seychelles? Enjoy the breathtaking nature of Uganda or Brazil with energy and wonder? Soak up the culture among the temples of Bali? Or do you want a little bit of everything? No matter how long your personal wish list is, I'll design a tailor-made honeymoon for you, according to your wishes and budget.
A trip you'll never forget: your honeymoon!
