The dramatic intervention extends across the island from coast to coast, revealing the beauty of the natural landscape, sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and colorful sunsets. All of the major facilities and amenities within the resort are organized and situated along the extent of the water-axis to create a seamless experience for the guests. The water-axis has provided the resort with a distinct identity and unique character that is memorable and timeless.
