A luxury landing page and an 11-second cinematic promo video for SOLMERA, a concept brand for private island and villa retreats. The project covers a cream-and-espresso design system, editorial typography and an animated member-rewards dashboard.
Luxury travel brands sell an experience, but most villa and resort websites feel like generic booking templates: crowded search forms, stock layouts and no sense of place. The goal was a landing page that feels as calm and exclusive as a private island from the first scroll, while still answering the questions a high-value guest has: Where can I go? Is my booking safe? What do I gain by coming back? The site also needed a short promo video that could present the whole page in under 12 seconds on social media.
Solution
I built a custom design system around a cream (#F7EDDB) and espresso (#221811) palette. Headlines use a high-contrast Bodoni serif with one script capital per line, and the UI uses small, widely spaced Inter labels. Signature details give the page its own identity without needing a logo: hairline rules that run to the page edge, small pill tags, arch-topped cards and a glass search bar over the hero. The page follows the guest’s journey in five sections: an immersive hero with a destination search, a curated retreats gallery, a five-step “Every Stay Protected” trust section, a Member Rewards calculator with a live chart, and a closing call to action. I then turned the page into an 11.4-second promo video with one continuous camera move: a 3D page-mosaic intro, smooth section scrolls, animated card reveals, a drawing chart with counting KPIs, and an outro that loops back to the start. It has a custom soundtrack and sound effects.
