Floating Hospitality / Luxury Marine Architecture
The Floating Cabanas aim to redefine waterfront hospitality by creating intimate floating sanctuaries that merge architecture with nature. Designed as an extension of the island’s luxury resort experience, the cabanas transform the surrounding water into a habitable landscape where guests can immerse themselves in a peaceful marine environment.
The architecture is shaped by organic principles inspired by natural coastal formations. Smooth flowing surfaces, sculpted openings, and curved interior spaces create a fluid spatial experience that mimics the natural processes that shape caves, rocks, and mangrove ecosystems. These architectural forms blur the boundary between interior and exterior environments, allowing water, light, and landscape to become integral elements of the spatial experience.
