Founder moment from a Host with the Utmost gathering
Our Story

Built on warmth. Grown into a community.

About Us

Travel, hosted with the utmost care.

The Host with the Utmost began with a simple belief: that travel is better shared, and that every woman deserves to feel cared for — from the moment she says "I'm in" to the moment she lands back home, already planning the next trip.

What started as a small circle of women gathering for tastings, weekend escapes and shared celebrations has grown into a global community — one that spans borders, backgrounds and generations, bound by a love of intentional travel and genuine connection.

We curate every experience — from international group trips to local staycations — with the same question in mind: how do we make her feel held? The answer shows up in a personalised welcome gift, a thoughtfully paced itinerary, a hand to hold at the airport, and a community that already feels like family before you've even boarded.

Vision

A global community of women travelling together — where borders soften, friendships form, and every woman has a soft place to land, anywhere in the world.

Mission

To make travel accessible, intentional and deeply connected — through curated trips, flexible payment plans, and a concierge that handles the details so you don't have to.

Brand Feeling

Warm. Luxurious. Welcoming. Feminine. Adventurous. Every touchpoint is designed to feel like an embrace, not a transaction.

Meet the Founder

Promise Thomo

The Host with the Utmost was born from Promise's own love of gathering people — turning ordinary weekends into cherished memories, and strangers into a sisterhood. After years of hosting friends, family and colleagues with meticulous care, the natural next step was to open that same warmth to women everywhere.

I wanted to build the trip I always wished I could find — beautiful, safe, generously planned, and full of women who leave as friends. That's the heart of everything we do here.

— Promise Thomo, Founder
