The development consists
of a 5-star hotel with luxury
serviced apartments and
villas. It has been designed
over 10-hectare to mimic the
site topography of the slates
contours and the forms of
the landscape looking over
the Indian Ocean. The Hotel
floorplates decrease in
scale towards the summit,
tapering to create a peaklike formation to frame the
main entrance.

The buildings carve out their
own internal and external
spaces and dynamic views
to the external vistas for
visual interest.
The outdoor concept
creates a series of different
strata, each with its own
garden. Landscaping is
used extensively as an
architectural surface
treatment and forms a major
part of the development. It
allows generous outdoor
areas for recreation and
social interaction throughout
the development.
