Five-Star Content for a Five-Star Resort – Our Hotel Web Copy for Vila Vita Parc

As travel writers, we have stayed in more than our fair share of hotels. And we are no strangers to writing about them either, whether that be a magazine feature about the experience of staying in a luxury hotel, a blog about vineyard resorts, a press release announcing the launch of a new boutique hotel or even an industry-focused advice piece on creating and maintaining hotel blogs.

Most recently, we were tasked with creating engaging and informative website copy for Vila Vita Parc, a luxury five-star resort in the Algarve, Portugal. Having recently redone their website, Vila Vita Parc were keen to refresh their content, so we got to work ensuring the words on their site did this beautiful beach resort justice. In total, World Words re-worked more than 5,000 words across the Vila Vita Parc website. To give you a taster, we have included just a few short extracts from the final draft below…

Honesty is the Best Policy: Why You Must Always Tell the Truth in Travel Content

When it comes to travel content writing, it can sometimes be tempting to massage the truth about a destination, resort or airline. After all, it isn’t always an easy task to seek out the positives of a grey hotel block in Benidorm that’s six miles from the beach; omitting some information or smoothing the rough edges can seem the simpler option. But travel content has a duty and obligation to be informative and accurate for its audience, as well as inspiring and salesy for its client. Not only is giving an accurate picture the moral thing to do, but it also ensures audience expectations are realistic, allowing them to make an informed choice about their travel arrangements.

We asked our expert travel content writers at World Words for their advice about how to ensure your travel copy is always honest. Taking the example of a hotel, we collated five of their top tips on writing truthful travel content.

Finolhu: A Revival of Classic Beach Chic (A Press Release for Bacall Associates)

Back in March 2016, World Words was approached by the leading public relations agency Bacall Associates. The agency, which bills itself as a ’boutique PR, marketing and sales support agency’ and particularly specialises in the travel sector, required a series of press releases to be written about luxury hotel resorts across Europe and Asia.

Naturally, we were all too happy to help. We wrote five press releases in total, on resorts ranging from AlmaLusa in Lisbon to Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai, but one of the first releases to be sent out to press was about Finolhu. A newly-opened property in the Maldives, Finolhu is a beautiful five-star resort that is all about old-school relaxation.

You’ll find the press release below…
