A beachfront infinity pool stretches toward the lagoon, and the sunlit gym is outfitted with Technogym machines.
The spa
Balinese and Ayurvedic therapies take place in ten thatched garden bungalows with marble suites and soaking tubs.
Sunset Pool Café & Bar
The bar serves cocktails and light snacks over sand floors beneath blue-tiled columns right by the pool.
At the table
Dining ranges from South American open-fire grills in the central jungle to stone-grilled seafood served on the sand.
How it began
Built in 2019 by Italy's Scarapicchia family, the retreat was designed by Edward David Poole using native bamboo and natural stone.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
