Inspired by local inns and old villas dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, the architects used local resources to create the multi-storey resort. A large swimming pool has a deck that runs along one side of it, enabling guests to take in the vast valley view.

Inside the resort, the lobby is highlighted by a collection of woven pendant lights, while accent lighting outlines the shape of the stairs.

At the end of the restaurant, there’s a lounge area that opens up to the swimming pool deck. There’s a fireplace for cool nights, and comfortable furniture for relaxing.

This room is open and airy, with a centrally located bed that has a large wood bed frame and headboard. Behind the bed is a wood bookshelf and a small reading area.

In another room, the furniture is darker for a more dramatic appearance. Both rooms have a sheer curtain, that creates some privacy without blocking the light.

The penthouse on the top floor has access to the rooftop water feature. Stepping stones lead out to a private ‘island’ with expansive views.
