Monique Thofte

Monique is a citizen of the world. With a German father, Haitian mother, and Swedish husband, she can effortlessly blend into any new environment with her sophisticated elegance. Starting with a career in high-end fashion, Monique migrated naturally to the luxury travel industry in 2008 exploring much of the globe. Monique speaks both French and German and is as comfortable hiking in the jungle as in a long dress on the opening night of a European opera. She shares her innate sense of style and destination knowledge with clients and is able to help provide anyone with unique experiences. Monique has an enthusiastic curiosity resulting in a finger on the pulse for the most current and best-in-class of everything travel related. Most importantly, like the rest of the MAYAMAYA team, Monique is a patient listener who understands that, as in fashion, one size doesn’t fit all and that the most expensive option is not always the best one. She is a Partner at MAYAMAYA Travel and lives between NYC and Sagaponack with her two children and Swedish husband.

Her favorite destinations and hotels include Ett Hem in Stockholm, Jose Ignacio, La Residence in South Africa, St Barths, and Singita Pamushana in Zimbabwe.

Bucket List: Shinta Mani Wild in Cambodia, Isla Secas in Panama, Angama Mara in Kenya, Sailing the Indonesian Archipelago and Rosa Alpina in the Dolomites.
