Our Story
Born from a love of water
The Lumina Way
Where architecture meets the horizon
Lumina was born from a simple belief: that the most extraordinary experiences happen at the edge of land and water. In 2018, our founder Isabelle Morin set sail across Southeast Asia and discovered a new way of living — unhurried, elemental, and deeply connected to the natural world.
Today, we curate a collection of six handpicked floating retreats across the globe — each one a sanctuary unto itself, blending warmth, craft, and sustainability into something truly unforgettable.
What We Stand For
