Luxury was one of the starting points for the design, although the great challenge was to succeed in giving an extremely natural and relaxing character to the space.

What struck me was, the naturalness with which the materials had been used to construct the resort, by the quality and use of local materials, in particular, coconut wood.

In fact, I discovered that coconut wood is a wood with a very similar look to teak, which oxidizes and turns grey by the light of the sun. Given its porous fibre, its ability to resist damp and water is impressive. Stefano Pastrovich
