Inspired by the island's vibrant flora and fauna, the resort's architecture and interiors embody a meticulous fusion of opulence and environmental mindfulness. The main buildings echo the beautiful colored and patterned tortoiseshell of the native Hawksbill turtles, forming faceted shapes that create light and airy canopies throughout the arrival building, resort center, and villas. Sensitively positioned away from the shoreline, the villas boast expansive gardens that provide a serene haven for nesting sea turtles.
