I’m currently building out the hero section for a conceptual wilderness retreat brand called Timber & Trail, and I’m torn between two navigation styles. The goal is to evoke a sense of calm and modern luxury, allowing the photography and typography ("Find Your Wild Silence") to take center stage.

Take a look at the two variations:

Design A: A clean, classic layout featuring a distinct white navigation bar separating the branding and links from the main hero image. It’s safe, accessible, and familiar.

Design B: A more experimental approach where the navigation is integrated directly into the hero section with a stylized, rounded cut-out tab housing the logo. It feels a bit more editorial and immersive.

I want to know which direction you think works best for a high-end booking experience.
