Habitares Luxury Vacation Rental Website

Habitares — Luxury Vacation Rental Website

Project Overview

I designed and developed the Habitares website — a luxury vacation rental property in Brisas Guitarrón, Acapulco. The goal was to create a premium digital experience that reflected the exclusivity of the property, while providing a conversion-driven structure for direct bookings.
The website functions as both a showcase of the property’s beauty and a business tool, enabling the landlord to build an alternative revenue stream outside of AirBnB and similar platforms.

The Challenge

Luxury rentals often rely heavily on third-party platforms, which limits brand presence and profitability. The challenge was to design a website that not only matched the standards of high-end hospitality but also:
Increased direct client conversions through a clear UX flow.
Provided a seamless alternative to AirBnB while maintaining credibility and trust.
Delivered a visual narrative that matched the sophistication of the Acapulco lifestyle.

The Process

1. Research & Discovery I analyzed luxury vacation rental sites and boutique hotel landing pages to identify the patterns that best balance visual appeal with booking efficiency.
Key insight: high-end clients respond best to storytelling imagery + streamlined booking with minimal friction.
2. UX & Structure I designed a clear UX/UI flow that guided users through property highlights → amenities → booking inquiries. The layout emphasized:
Hero sections with bold photography.
Easy navigation between property details, location, and availability.
Strategic call-to-actions positioned to maximize conversions.
3. Visual Design The design direction was inspired by luxury editorial aesthetics — spacious layouts, elegant typography, and clean color contrasts. The visual identity allowed the property to stand on its own as a luxury hospitality brand, independent of AirBnB.

The Result

The final website became more than just a digital brochure — it is now a conversion-focused landing page tailored for high-end clientele.
Provided the landlord with a credible alternative to AirBnB, reducing dependence on third-party platforms.
Delivered a beautiful, modern website that aligned with luxury hospitality standards.
Enhanced client conversions by highlighting the property’s exclusivity through both UX flow and design.
The Habitares website demonstrates how thoughtful UX and elegant design can transform a property into a brand — and a rental into a business.
