It’s the first five star resort in the area’s archipelago of 16 islands, and more than 80 percent of its land is national park. There are 35 suites and 14 villas with private infinity pools, nestled within a mile-long curve of the bay and sheltered by forested moun

Each floor is composed of different materials to allow the residents a different view to the outside. Stone floors and plaster-coated concrete walls on the first floor are

To make the most of the interesting viewpoints, the living spaces of the house were turned to ensure that the rooms had the best privacy and sun
