Wellness is at the heart of the lifestyle, with an elevated outdoor pool with private cabanas, an indoor pool, a jacuzzi, a cold plunge, serene treatment rooms and a fitness studio with panoramic views, plus a kids' pool and play area for younger residents.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling glazing transforms the living rooms into light-filled spaces with a wonderful sense of height and openness, complemented by soft tonal palettes, warm timber joinery and refined natural stone. A generously proportioned kitchen and dining space is centred around a substantial island, flowing effortlessly between relaxed family moments and elegant entertaining. The master suite is a true private retreat with a dedicated walk-in wardrobe, a luxurious en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access, all completed with bespoke finishes and the impeccable craftsmanship expected of a Ritz-Carlton home.
