Project scope
- Website design from scratch
- UX design for content-heavy hospitality experience
- Information architecture and site structure
- Art direction and visual system
- Multiple concepts and visual directions
- Homepage and all core pages (villas, restaurants, activities, marina, events, offers)
- Responsive design considerations
Approach
The core challenge of the project was not only to maintain a refined, luxury aesthetic, but to organize a complex ecosystem of services into a clear and seamless user experience.
The process started with turning a broad hospitality offering into a clear website structure. I organized the island’s key services, experiences, and destinations into a logical content hierarchy, which became a site map and the foundation for the navigation, and page templates. This helped create a scalable system where villas, restaurants, activities, events, and transportation details could be presented clearly while keeping the experience easy to explore.
From a visual perspective, I created the full design direction, including color palette, typography, and overall tone. The interface was designed to feel calm and premium, allowing large-scale imagery and video content to lead the experience while supporting it with clean and minimal UI elements.
A wide range of page layouts was created to support the island’s full ecosystem, including villas, restaurants, facilities, marina services, activities, events, offers and transportation.
In addition to the main website structure, I proposed and designed an interactive island map based on a drone view. The map helped users understand the geography of the island and visually locate key areas.

Nirup Island (nirupisland.com) is a private island featuring villas, hotel, restaurants, marina services, and a wide range of lifestyle experiences. The goal of the project was to design a high-end digital experience that reflects the exclusivity of the destination while clearly presenting a large amount of information in a structured and intuitive way.
The project started from scratch, with no existing website or visual system. The only initial asset was a logo. Several concepts and visual directions were explored before defining the final design approach.

A Comprehensive System of Pages
We structured a complex ecosystem of services into a clear, intuitive digital experience covering accommodation, dining, activities, and booking flows.
Accommodation & Stay Experience
A flexible set of page layouts was designed to present villas, residences, and hotel offerings in a clear and engaging way. Each page highlights key amenities, spatial details, and booking options to help users easily understand and compare accommodation types.

Dining & Lifestyle
Dedicated layouts were created for restaurants, bars, and experiences, combining visual storytelling with essential information such as cuisine, atmosphere, and availability. The goal was to make exploration effortless while maintaining a refined, premium feel.

Marina & Booking Flows
Service-oriented pages were designed to support marina access, yacht charters, and reservation flows. Complex forms and operational details were structured into simple, user-friendly interactions that reduce friction and support seamless booking.

Island Map & Navigation
A custom island map based on a drone view was introduced to visually organize the entire destination. Instead of navigating through multiple disconnected pages, users can explore the island spatially and locate key areas such as villas, restaurants, marina, and activity zones in a more intuitive way.
The map acts as a central navigation layer, helping users quickly understand the scale of the island and plan their stay with confidence.
