About Us
Planora was born from a love for Indonesia… and from a story that changed our lives.

We are Gita and Xavi, a couple blending two worlds: Indonesia's serenity and spirituality with Mediterranean warmth. Our story began in Bali, at a moment when life pushes you to seek something deeper. What we didn't know is that, besides finding ourselves, we would find each other… and a home.
Gita, born on the Island of Flores and raised among tradition, nature and the kindness of local people, knows Indonesia like her own home: with affection, respect and a natural sense of belonging. Xavi, from Barcelona and a tireless traveler, came seeking change and stayed because this archipelago has an irresistible kind of magic.
After years living and exploring Indonesia, we decided to share our knowledge with travelers seeking more than a typical tourist trip. We create personalized guides based on our real experience and offer continuous support to make your trip perfect.
