The luxury villa company is combining more than 20 years of villa expertise with artificial intelligence to match each guest with the right home and plan every stay around the experiences and cultural moments that make a trip worth remembering.
CHARLOTTE, N.C,, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Isle Blue, a luxury villa rental and concierge company offering more than 6,000 private villas across the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and the Americas, today announced the launch of a dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) division and the appointment of Florent Duthoit as AI Architect & Engineer. Florent, a software architect who co-founded the AI sales platform SalesMind AI, will lead the design of an intelligent planning platform that brings together Isle Blue's property knowledge, its specialists' expertise and each guest's preferences.
Every stay is a story
At Isle Blue, a villa is where a story happens: a family reunion on a quiet bay in St Barts, a milestone birthday above the vineyards of Tuscany, a first trip together timed to Carnival in Barbados. Isle Blue's goal is for every guest to come home with a story of their own. Its AI division is built to support that goal at every step, from the first search to the last evening on the terrace.
Choosing the right villa
The right villa depends on more than dates, destination and bedroom count. It depends on who is traveling, how they like to be looked after, what they want to feel and why they are taking the trip. Over more than 20 years, Isle Blue's villa specialists have built deep local knowledge of the destinations they serve, along with detailed information on thousands of properties and a long record of what makes a stay work for each kind of traveler.
The new division will turn that experience into a planning platform that:
- Matches guests with the villa that fits them best, based on group, travel style, priorities and the details that matter to them
- Plans each stay around what is happening at the destination, including private chefs, spa days, boat charters, festivals, regattas, harvests and local traditions, arranged with Isle Blue's trusted local partners
- Gives Isle Blue's specialists and the travel advisors who book with Isle Blue a single view of property details, guest history and destination insight, so their advice is timely and personal
- Carries the guest's story through the whole journey, from inspiration and planning to arrival, the stay itself and the memories shared afterward
Isle Blue's specialists remain at the center of every booking. The technology is built to extend their knowledge and judgment so that every guest gets the attention of someone who knows the destination well.
"Luxury villa travel brings together detailed property information, individual preferences and the knowledge of people who know a destination," said Florent Duthoit, AI Architect & Engineer at Isle Blue. "Our work is to connect those pieces so that planning feels effortless for guests and our specialists can give the right recommendation at the right moment."
"For more than two decades, our specialists have matched guests with the homes and experiences that become the stories they tell for years," said Rob Kadijevic, CEO of Isle Blue. "We are building an AI division to carry that expertise further. Our goal is an exceptional planning experience, one that understands each guest, finds the villa that fits them and shapes every stay around the moments that make a destination special."
