Set to open in late 2022, the resort and residences will be spread over 38 acres and laid out using the natural topography of the land, with great effort given to ensuring space, privacy and views of the sea.
The resort will have 56 guestrooms, seven one-bedroom villas and five two-bedroom villas, with no building being higher than a palm tree. The walkways through the gardens are made of repurposed nutmeg shells and cocoa skins. Also available are a handful of contemporary residences available for purchase. These three- and four-bedroom green-roofed homes are carefully and individually sited into the hillside within landscaped gardens. Each has a 56-foot horizon-edge pool and wrap-around pool deck. The indoor dining spills out onto a covered bar and BBQ terrace that merges into a lawn garden with a palm canopy.
Good to know: Owners will have access to all the resort’s facilities, amenities and services, as well as having the opportunity to place their homes into the rental program when not in occupation.
