Rumours Hotel Website - Website URL
Introduction
Rumours Luxury Villas is a luxury retreat in Muri Lagoon, designed for those seeking absolute privacy, romance, and a world-class experience. In an adults-only setting, their villas offer private pools, tropical gardens, and direct beach access.
The Challenge
The resort was losing potential guests due to an outdated online experience that didn't match their luxury positioning. A 6-second mobile load time was driving away 53% of mobile visitors. 80% of bookings were coming through OTAs with 15-20% commission fees. Their WordPress site was difficult to update and maintain.
The Solution
I rebuilt their entire digital presence from the ground up, focusing on speed, direct bookings, and operational efficiency: a custom Next.js website with sub-2-second load times, a mobile-first design capturing the luxury resort aesthetic, SEO targeting high-intent travel keywords, and automated email sequences for pre-arrival and post-stay.
The Result
The new website delivers a premium experience that matches the resort's luxury positioning, with dramatically improved performance and a streamlined booking process designed to increase direct reservations.

The hero is the site's handshake, so it had to carry the whole idea in a few seconds.
Rather than a static image with a headline over it, the hero responds to cursor and scroll input with subtle parallax and depth. The freight reads as something in motion rather than a photograph of something that moved. Restraint mattered here: enough life to signal that this site behaves differently, not so much that it turns into a demo reel and gets in the way of the message.
The hero is the sites handshake—love that framing. Did you keep the full interactive 3D globe for mobile screens too or fall back to a lighter 2D version to save on performance?
I plan to use this visual system throughout the entire website
Incredible, love it!
I’ll share more, but I’m creating a promotional site for a game. Which one do you think is instantly more appealing?
