This beach club and restaurant blends tropical exuberance with refined contemporary leisure, creating a series of immersive environments that transition seamlessly from vibrant dining to relaxed coastal lounging. Each space is conceived as a curated escape—lush, layered, and sensory—yet grounded in an effortless beachfront informality.
Across all areas, furniture is arranged to encourage social connection, group flexibility, and unhurried lounging. Textiles, patterns, and forms are intentionally eclectic yet cohesive—each selection balancing sophistication with tropical spontaneity.
Rather than relying on traditional luxury markers, the space delivers indulgence through sensory richness—bold patterns, lush color, sculptural furniture, and whimsical interactions between textures.
Whenever possible, the design emphasizes natural light, cross-ventilation, durable natural materials, and furnishings intended for longevity, reducing the footprint of the space while enhancing guest comfort.
