The house
HiltonEclectic lagoon resort
Conceived as a modern ocean crossroads, the resort runs on social energy, filled with colorful artwork and bold maritime patterns.
What it’s good at
Notable
Bill Bensley styled playful rooms with Portuguese tiling and bright maritime colours.
Notable
Footbridges link sandy shores to lagoon water sports and an adjacent marina district.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
A footbridge leads directly to the Crossroads marina, connecting the resort to waterfront restaurants and a thirty-berth yacht harbor.

The rooms
Portuguese tiling and driftwood furnishings brighten the bedrooms. Closer to the water, beach rooms open straight onto the sand.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Sunken wicker armchairs sit inside the oceanfront pool, and cardio machines in the vaulted gym face the resort grounds.
The spa
The aroma lab mixes custom treatment oils on-site, and suites look out at tropical greenery from deep hydrotherapy tubs.
At the table
Miss Olive Oyl grills fresh seafood on the sand, and poolside pavilions serve Thai fusion beside the water.
How it began
Nine reclaimed islands form the wider Crossroads development, built to revive the archipelago's ancient history as a Silk Road trading post.

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.
