Buildings follow the slope of the land and roofs are topped with olive trees to create a natural extension of the surroundings.

This seamless integration not only enhances biodiversity but creates a unique, immersive experience—one where guests feel cradled by nature rather than separated from it. Here, one discovers a thoughtful harmony between form, function, and environmental respect. The style draws on biomorphic shapes, natural curves, and elemental simplicity and is inspired by Future Primitivism—a philosophy blending ancient, nature-based wisdom with forward-thinking environmental consciousness.

Earth tones and organic textures evoke the four elements, grounding guests in a sensory, elemental experience.

The guiding design ethos was to create a retreat that embodies the “Art of Living”. Sustainability isn’t just a feature; it’s embedded in every aspect—from material choices to spatial layout and guest experiences. The use of arched openings, textured surfaces, and raw finishes reinforces a sense of quiet elegance, promoting serenity throughout the resort. From fabric and stone to unprocessed wood, every element has been carefully chosen for its eco-friendly qualities.
