This eco-friendly oasis lies along a pristine beachfront, nestled between a scenic mountain vista and panoramic ocean views. The landscape is designed to maximise the resort’s sprawling 130,000 square metres of land and embrace its proximity to nature. Extensive water elements throughout the resort, including cascading water features and aquatic ponds with floating gardens, serve to demarcate different areas of activity as well as give a sense of orientation to the spatial structure.
