01 — The challenge

Where we started.

Guests loved the hotels but booked them through travel sites, which took a big cut of every stay.

The new site had to feel as calm as a morning on the terrace and make booking direct the easy choice.

02 — The process

Sunrise palette

Colours and photography built around the light at seven in the morning on the coast.

Book in three steps

Dates, room, done, with the direct price clearly shown as the best one.

Stories, not lists

Each hotel page tells a day in that place, from breakfast to the last swim.
