The HAMAK Family of Brands

Community-Centered Tourism

Aruba · Hudson Valley, NY

We build travel brands that keep more of every visit with the people and places that make it special. From Aruba to New York’s Hudson Valley, our brands connect travelers with locally owned businesses, and help those businesses grow.

What We Believe

  • Local first. We spotlight locally owned businesses, makers and guides, the people who give a place its character.
  • Guests, not numbers. Travelers who connect with local people have better trips and come back.
  • Growth that stays home. When visitors spend with local businesses, more of that money stays in the community.

From our founder

“I grew up in Aruba, one of the world’s most tourism-driven islands, and now call the Hudson Valley home. In both places I’ve seen what happens when visitors connect with local people: trips become stories, and small businesses grow. That’s what every HAMAK brand is built to do.”
— Ayerim Maduro Lacle, Founder

Taking local hospitality to global heights.
