BA in Luxury Resort Management
Course Overview
The BA in Luxury Resort Management is an LSILHHM Bachelor programme running across a 36 months full honours (top-up routes available for holders of a Higher Diploma) study window, delivered in both on-campus and online formats. The programme delivers a full honours-level treatment of luxury resort management inside the five-star and boutique luxury service sector and is aligned with recognised UK and international standards set by bodies such as the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) and the Global Wellness Institute (GWI). Every module in the BA in Luxury Resort Management is designed to be portable across private wellness retreats and members-only hospitality clubs, so what you learn in London translates cleanly into international five-star and boutique luxury service settings.
By the time you complete the BA in Luxury Resort Management, you will have built the strategy, commercial performance, brand and global operations that a five-star and boutique luxury service employer expects. You will be ready to enter a graduate management scheme or a strategic post in international hospitality, confident in professional communication, and able to demonstrate a portfolio of honours-level exercises rooted in real hospitality, travel and luxury service scenarios. Assessment is applied and evidence-based, mirroring the tasks a graduate-manager and strategic team member handles on shift or in a head-office project, with clear progression open into the MSc / MA postgraduate route.
