Elara Escapes

Elara Escapes Where luxury feels like home & lasting memories are created. with families in mind

26/05/2026

Here’s just a few things we’ve quickly learned are major horror movies for us as short stay hosts 😅

1. I know people mean well, and may just *see* the place as 4 star rather than 5 star (like a hotel rating) but the reviews matter to our business, our brand and our reputation. One 4 star review has the ability to drop our rating significantly enough that we can lose certain statuses in Airbnb which help our visibility. If you loved your stay and the experience, please leave a 5 star review - it truly helps more than you know!!

2. Double check the check-out info that we send you before you check out - we are not a hotel and by not returning the key to the designated key location, means the next guest won’t be able to pick up the key for their stay. We’ve had to race out a few times with a spare, to let the guest into the room and retrieve their key 🥴

3. Isn’t setting up WiFi just the bane of anyone’s existence?? 🤣

4. Snoop Dog anyone? Yes, this has happened 😅😅 don’t do this… we can smell smoke even if it isn’t detected during your stay and you will have to pay a fee for smoking inside 👎🏼

5. All of our stays are equipped with a welcome book that have all these details you need to work everything… sometimes I do wonder if people are just too lazy to read and would rather us be available at their beck and call for every little question they have 😬

Regardless, for the most part we love our guests and truly appreciate all the positive comments and 5 star ⭐️ reviews!!

Why Elara?

Because the name carries a sense of elegance, calm, and quiet luxury - but it also holds something deeper.

Elara is one of Jupiter’s moons.
A small, beautiful celestial body orbiting something vast.

A symbol of exploration, wonder, and the feeling of stepping into a world beyond the everyday.

That’s what we want your stay to evoke:
a sense of expansion, discovery, and peaceful escape…
while still feeling grounded, warm, and deeply comforting, like home.

Elara Escapes is a place where the familiar meets the extraordinary.

Where travel feels elevated, intentional, and full of possibility.

A name inspired by the stars.
A stay designed for the modern travelers. ✨

Elara Escapes was born from a simple idea:
Travel should feel like a true vacation, not a compromise.

We wanted spaces where parents could relax, kids could settle in, and everyone feels instantly at home.

Where style meets comfort.
Where luxury meets ease.
Where every stay feels intentional.

We’re building the kind of stays we always wished existed.

Wake up, pour yourself a morning cuppa, breathe and unwind… kids playing happily… take it slow before you dive into your family adventures!

And soon, they’ll be yours to experience. ✨

✨ Meet the Founders ✨

We’re Bec & Jonathan, the founders of Elara Escapes, and we’re so excited to bring you along as we build something truly special.

Elara Escapes was born out of our love of travel, and the desire to create stays that felt elevated while also keeping a family in mind.

Gone are the days that you check into an Airbnb with the bare minimum. We’re changing the way you can travel as a family! By allowing you to step into your own personal oasis, that still has all the comforts of home.

✨Beautiful and practical.
✨Luxurious and warm.

Traveling can be full on with kids. So we decided to take some of that stress off of parents.

Our homes are not just for families, but they are always in the front of our minds…

Our stays will all have board games for the whole family to enjoy, some toys, fold out cribs for babies and toddlers and sound machines.

When you arrive there will be complimentary refreshments for the whole family, to welcome you and get you settled in.

As seasoned travelers ourselves, and having traveled with children of all ages since they were all babies, we understand what it takes to get a family out the door and into vacation mode. However we can make that process easier for you on the other side, we will! Sometimes vacations with kids don’t feel like vacations at all, but we hope to change that perspective!

Thank you for being here from the beginning.
We can’t wait to show you what’s coming. ✨

✨ What makes an Elara stay different?

Picture yourself taking off on your vacation with your family. You arrive and the first thing you notice as you walk through the door of your home or apartment, is that it’s sun drenched, then you small the Elara signature fragrance wafting through the air as you walk into the common living space.

You set down your bags and immediately go and take a seat on the plush lounge. You sink into the cushions and your body does a large exhale and you finally click into vacation-mode.

You’re completely relaxed, and ready to enjoy your stay.

You roll your suitcase into the master and notice the hotel-grade cleanliness, plush linens and boutique-level attention to detail.

The whole apartment is styled to perfection, while still maintaining a family-friendly environment. You open up your Elara Escapes info book to check out all of the premium amenities you have access to, and the kids are jumping up and down begging you to go to the pool.

Later that afternoon you come back inside and you pull out a board game to play with the whole family!

It is truly a retreat-like atmosphere that feels like home - only better

This is the Elara Standard.
Every stay. Every location. Every guest.
No compromises. Ever. ✨

Think: luxury, warmth, calm… all wrapped into a space your whole family can exhale into.

One of the things we’re most excited about at Elara Escapes is creating stays that don’t just look beautiful, they feel beautiful.

Spaces that meet you with a deep exhale the moment you walk in.
Soft lighting. Plush linens. Thoughtful luxuries.
A home-away-from-home that feels like a retreat, not just accommodation.

As we begin shaping our first locations, we’re obsessing over every detail - the textures, the amenities, the comfort, the flow - so your stay feels effortless, grounding, and quietly luxurious.

Because we know what it’s like to travel with family and crave a space that holds everyone with ease.
A place where mornings are slow, evenings are cosy, and memories settle in naturally.

We can’t wait to show you more of what’s coming… and eventually welcome you through the doors to experience it for yourself.

Follow along as we build something special — the kind of escape you’ll want to come back to, again and again. ✨

✨ Introducing Elara Escapes ✨

Where elevated travel meets the feeling of truly coming home.

We’re creating a new standard in family-friendly stays - beautifully styled spaces with hotel-level polish and all the thoughtful comforts that make life on the road feel effortless.

Calm, intentional, design-led… but still warm, practical, and welcoming for every member of the family.

Elara Escapes is for those who want more than a place to sleep.
More comfort.
More beauty.
More little luxuries that turn a getaway into an experience.

We're almost ready to open our doors...

Follow along as we build elevated stays across the globe, designed for families who crave a home away from home… only better. ✨
