The hillside

The resort is designed around the nature of the site, so that it settles into the hillside it is built on.

The villas

The villas follow the hill's natural contours, which gives each one its privacy while keeping it part of the whole site.

The views

Each villa is generously sized, and placed and opened up to frame the surrounding hills.
