UAU Ready
Description
Oceanica allows you to create WordPress sites for hotels, bed & breakfasts, villas, apartments and vacation rentals, combining a hospitality layout with a booking system that registers accommodations, checks real-time availability, applies seasonal rates and records online or offline payments. For hospitality businesses, the theme organizes showcasing, room pages, occupancy calendar and check-in rules in a flow manageable from the dashboard.

Benefits of Oceanica
- Lesser overbooking
iCal sync reduces conflicts between direct reservations and external channels. - Centralized management
The dashboard consolidates reservations, payments, coupons, fees and operating history. - Clearer purchase
Visitors check dates, guests and price before submitting a reservation. - Visual adaptation
Personalization adjusts the hotel’s identity without editing theme files.
Who Does it Suit?
- Hotels, bed & breakfasts and resorts that need to receive reservations directly on their site.

In practice, Oceanica combines a visual presentation of the property and back-end booking operations within a single theme: pages for accommodations, availability calendars, period pricing, coupons, fees and automatic notifications. Features like WooCommerce Payments, Mailchimp, PDF Invoices, reviews and custom checkout appear as separate extensions, so the base package should be planned according to the business’s real booking workflow.
