The Royal-barge-shaped reception lobby plays an important role as a center point, leading visitors to other parts of the hotel by providing openness of the surrounding space and natural ventilation. The continuous waterscape, linking the reception through to the swimming pool and on to the ocean, plays on the unique perception of the hotel creating a welcoming and refreshing experience when guests arrive. Together with the minimalist interior, dominated by stone and timber with subtle decorative elements, it welcomes guests and introduces them to rejuvenation in a tranquil oasis.
