This master plan proposes a low-impact spa resort, well integrated into the rugged coastal terrain. A terraced hotel crowns the site, oriented to capture expansive sea views while maintaining a minimal visual footprint. Private villas and bungalows are dispersed across the landscape, strategically placed to follow natural contours and ensure privacy. At the center, a clubhouse and wellness facility create a communal focal point, while a beachfront complex hosts the beach club and spa with direct shoreline access. The layout prioritizes visual permeability, natural materiality, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions in response to the coastal environment.
