Revitalizing a Luxury Island Resort’s Digital Presence for Maximum Bookings
Summary
Augusta Insula is a luxury resort on the remote island of Lastovo, Croatia — a place where authentic island life meets refined hospitality. Known for its celebrated restaurant serving freshly caught seafood and traditional cuisine, Augusta Insula offers 13 premium rental units with breathtaking views and a deep connection to local culture. With an outdated website that didn’t reflect its unique charm or provide the tools for modern travelers, the resort partnered with Mosoric to deliver a fully reimagined, multilingual platform. The result: a high-speed, conversion-focused digital experience that makes discovering, booking, and engaging with the resort effortless across devices and languages.

Hospitality & TravelWorking with Mosoric was an exceptional experience. They captured the essence of Augusta Insula perfectly and created a website that makes it effortless for our guests to find information and book directly. The multilingual support, fast performance, and custom features have made a huge difference.
The situation
Augusta Insula needed a modern, guest-focused platform to boost direct bookings
While Augusta Insula had a strong reputation among returning guests and word-of-mouth travelers, its previous website was outdated, slow, and lacked the depth of information and intuitive navigation modern travelers expect. Guests struggled to find key details about accommodations, local amenities, and restaurant offerings, leading to unnecessary inquiries and missed booking opportunities.
The owners wanted more than a simple redesign — they needed a fast, scalable, and multilingual platform that could tell the resort’s story, showcase its unique offering, and make it *stupid easy* for guests to get every piece of information they needed before booking. With a mission to increase direct bookings and reflect the true spirit of Lastovo, Augusta Insula turned to Mosoric for a complete digital transformation.

- Integrated Rentlio booking engine with on-page calendar – Guests can select dates, number of guests, and rooms without leaving the site, ensuring a frictionless booking flow before being redirected to finalize their reservation.
