Objective & Challenge

Santa Marina Mykonos, one of the island’s most iconic resorts, celebrates 40 years of heritage and hospitality. The need for a renewed digital presence was essential: a website that would honor the brand’s legacy, highlight its timeless value, and deliver a contemporary user experience. The primary challenge was the limited timeframe, within which a complete, high-end solution had to be designed and delivered without compromising quality.

Strategy & Creativity

Within a tight schedule, multiple creative directions were explored, leading to a refined approach that balances contemporary aesthetics with the timeless identity of Santa Marina. In close collaboration with the resort’s team, the website was enriched with new, high-quality visual content — carefully directed photography and immersive videos that capture the essence of place, hospitality, and experience.

Despite the redesign, strict adherence to brand guidelines remained central to our approach, ensuring consistency, continuity, and deep respect for the resort’s legacy.

Implementation & Results

The new website delivers a modern, user-friendly experience, with improved navigation and content that highlights both the luxury and authenticity of Santa Marina. The aesthetic upgrade, combined with the enhanced visual storytelling, allows visitors to instantly perceive the quality of the experience offered. At the same time, preserving the brand’s identity reinforces a sense of continuity and trust, seamlessly connecting its 40-year heritage with its present-day expression.

The result is a digital presence that clearly communicates the resort’s legacy while showcasing, in a refined and compelling way, the contemporary experience it offers today.

This approach earned INK Design an Award at the Indie Awards 2026, celebrating excellence in hospitality web design and brand experience.
