THE ELLYSIAN HOTEL
NAMU, MEANING "GIRL" IN TRADITIONAL GARIFUNA, IS A FULL-SERVICE LUXURY SPA LOCATED IN THE ELLYSIAN HOTEL IN PLACENCIA, BELIZE, RIGHT ON THE SHORES OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA, IT FEATURES ORGANIC LOCAL TREATMENTS FOR BEAUTY AND WELLNESS.
We were asked to develop Namu to be a sister brand to Muna (meaning “home” in Garifuna), the rooftop restaurant and bar of The Ellysian. We chose the name Namu, inspired by the beauty of Placencia and Garifuna women.
The brand identity draws heavily from local
elements of nature and culture.
