    Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine what you’ve already built, our step-by-step resources are designed to support whatever you’re hoping to get out of your hosting — whether that’s more bookings, more beauty, more ease, or simply more joy in the process. We’re here to help you gain clarity, find your rhythm, and create a space that stands out — without the overwhelm.

  • Absolutely. A well-styled and strategically designed space not only enhances guest appeal—it improves reviews, boosts repeat bookings, and allows you to command higher nightly rates. All of which help maximise your return on investment.

    But it’s not just about giving your home a makeover. It’s about creating intentional guest experiences, understanding who your ideal guests truly are, and hosting in a way that feels both soulful and smart. When you design with feeling and run your rental with purpose—from aesthetics to operations—you create a stay that stands out, and a business that quietly thrives.

    You’re welcome to showcase your certification on your website, social media, listing platforms, and printed guest materials. Hosts who complete the course and certification may also be invited to join our azulomo trusted stays feature list, where we highlight thoughtfully hosted properties that truly embody the slow, calm, guest-first approach we teach.

  • Our style is rooted in slow living and quiet luxury—curated, considered, and beautifully pared back. We favour neutral tones, natural textures, and a sense of calm simplicity that allows each space to breathe.

    Every detail is thoughtfully chosen to create a feeling of ease and effortless elegance. It’s not about trends—it’s about timelessness, emotion, and the kind of understated beauty that lingers long after guests leave.

  • Soon — and we’re just as excited as you are.

    We’re currently crafting the azulomo hosting guide — a beautifully written handbook designed to bring calm, clarity, and soulful strategy to your guest experience. Think of it as part design journal, part thoughtful business companion, with plenty of practical insights along the way.
