Elleva Travel was born with a clear mission: to restore freedom and mobility to those undergoing kidney treatment, especially patients on hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration who wish to travel safely.
We combine technical knowledge in healthcare with expertise in tourism to create itineraries that allow travelers to enjoy extraordinary destinations without giving up their dialysis treatment.
Our name comes from “elevate” — elevating the quality of life, raising expectations, and raising travel possibilities for those who depend on dialysis.

Is it possible to travel while undergoing hemodialysis?
Yes. With professional planning and reliable clinics, the trip becomes feasible, safe, and enjoyable.
How do the sessions work at the destination?
We coordinate and confirm all hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration sessions at reputable clinics. Schedules are carefully selected to fit your itinerary and optimize your travel experience.
I don’t undergo hemodialysis. Can I travel with Elleva Travel?
Yes. The experience is designed to surprise even the most discerning individuals, regardless of their health condition, with a curated selection that combines comfort, safety, and unique experiences.
Does the health plan cover dialysis while traveling abroad?
The vast majority of health insurance plans do not cover dialysis outside the country. However, if in doubt, we recommend contacting your health insurance plan or provider.
What if something unexpected happens?
Travelers should always purchase international health insurance to ensure coverage for any medical emergencies in local hospitals.
Do I need to adjust anything in my dialysis routine before the trip?
In most cases, there is no need to change your prescription or routine. Before your trip, our team collects your clinical information and coordinates everything directly with the destination clinic, ensuring continuity of treatment in the best possible way throughout your experience.
