Pastry Chef

Every Gesture Carries Meaning. Every Stay Leaves a Mark.

At Luura, work unfolds like island life itself. Unhurried. Intentional. Shaped by culture, art, and the people who bring it to life.

We believe luxury should feel human. Connection matters. Details speak quietly but with purpose. Our spaces are designed not only for guests, but for those who animate them. Places where curiosity is welcomed, individuality is valued, and ideas are heard.

Contribution here is personal. Craft is respected. Each day offers a new opportunity to create moments that linger.
If you are thoughtful, creative, and moved by making experiences that feel real, you will feel at home.
Welcome to Luura.
