Approaching this unique leisure island from all points of the compass, the feeling is exhilarating. The island appears to be in a state of architectural and ecological balance. Neither overpowers the other, as the terraced buildings comfortably nestle into the contours, infusing each hillside vista with a sense of man-made elegance and calming natural beauty. There is a vital separation of function on the island that ensures privacy for the Hotel and living areas, as well as freedom of movement and expression for the high activity areas. As the visitor passes out of the community’s villa clusters towards the other side of the island, the winds freshen and the full range of island weather can be experienced. On this side of the island, the visitor is free to explore and participate in a myriad of challenging and entertaining activities, without disturbing the community functions.
