Aether Cay

Aether Cay is a concept build for a Caribbean island resort that does not exist. It was made to show how a hospitality site can feel immersive without becoming a slideshow.

This is a self-directed concept build for an invented brand, not client work.

Resort websites usually fail in one of two directions. Either they lean entirely on wide photography and say nothing, or they bury the rooms and rates behind a booking widget that feels like airline software.

Aether Cay keeps the cinematic pacing that hospitality needs while making the practical parts easy to reach. Rooms get real showcases with the detail a guest actually wants, and the reservation flow is integrated into the same design language instead of being handed off.

Like Solenne, it is built to portfolio grade rather than mocked up, so the sections work as finished pages rather than images of pages.
