Creating a 5 star deluxe home
To obtain a 5-tick rating a Deluxe Home must be luxuriously presented to an exceptional standard throughout.
It must offer high levels of comfort, a welcome pack that provides essential items and thoughtful touches. It should be clean, extremely well-maintained, and consistently achieving excellent customer feedback in all areas.
Our property experts define how to create a 5-star Deluxe Home and what premium amenities you should include.
The right Location
It comes as no surprise that 5-star luxury homes are usually found in breath-taking locations, boasting luxury properties with panoramic sea views or picturesque landscapes.
Guests paying a premium will expect your holiday home to be within proximity of local transport links and tourist attractions and choosing a sought-after area close is a must.
Luxury Interiors & Soft Furnishings
Exceptional interior design can add significant value to your property and offer a 5-star experience to guests.
At Kahuana Homes, we work with professional interior designers to ensure your home stands out from the crowd. With staycations at an all-time high it is important to create an aspirational property that guests would like to retreat too.
Choosing the right décor is key to creating a 5-star Deluxe Home. Opting for Egyptian cotton bed linen or 100% cotton high thread count linen is a must.
Mattresses should be well sprung, comfortable and have absorbent mattress protectors. Duvets and pillows should be synthetic rather than feather, but we recommend avoiding the cheapest as the quality is poor.
The quality of the interiors and visual aesthetics should reflect that of a 5-star holiday let
Beautiful Outdoor Space
Bringing the outside in’ is a top tip used by many interior designers, so why not open up your space to create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
Letting in natural light not only provides a welcoming atmosphere for guests but it also provides breath-taking views. Skylights, floor to ceiling windows or bi-folding doors are a great way to add extra decadence.
But don’t forget about your outdoor space, the exterior is just as important as the interior. However big or small the area is, you can still add 5-star Deluxe Home.
Here are some suggestions of what to include in a beautifully presented outdoor space:
- Firepit or chimenea
- Water feature
- Lush foliage and vegetation
- High quality garden furniture
- Outdoor lighting
- A heated outdoor pool or hot tub
Providing a beautiful outdoor space is a great way to impress guests and offer that 5-star experience. To qualify as a 5-star Deluxe Home your exterior inventory must have:
- A garden that is outstandingly presented .
- Garden furniture of good quality with enough chairs for the number of guests.
- A barbeque Parking should be pothole and weed-free close to the property.
- External steps that lead to an entrance must have a railing and outside lighting.
- Paths should be kept clear of debris for wheelchairs, prams and assistance dogs.
- Dog friendly properties should have somewhere safe for dogs to run and a spending area (where they can relieve themselves).
- Well maintained outbuildings, signs of neglect are not permissible.
- Dustbins stored out of sight.
Added extra Features
Creating a 5-star holiday experience means providing complimentary items that will bring a sense of prestige to your holiday home.
Installing a hot tub can not only add luxury appeal but it can boost your rental income too. Homeowners can earn 54% more holidays let income with this added extra feature.
Other added extras that can provide a unique selling point and offer 5- star luxury, include a gym, games room, cinema room or sauna. All these facilities provide year-round appeal and add value to your holiday home.
It’s important not to overlook the smaller details, providing luxury candles and reed diffusers in bathrooms adds to the 5-star experience, too.
