The existing resort and its resources have been thoughtfully reimagined, ensuring a harmonious blend between luxury and nature. Enhancements are evident throughout the property, from the exquisite dining outlets of Drift and Bottega to the flourishing organic gardens, where a microgreens nursery thrives amidst the captivating beauty of wild orchids.
