The hills around the property surround a lake and gently slope into the water body, creating a beautiful valley and this natural topography inspires a lake-centric layout. The base of the hotel north of the lobby has restaurants, cafés, and various user amenities, all of which face the promenade and as one creates a social hub. The waterfront walkway is an active, yet peaceful place where guests can relax with others and experience the magnificent lake view. Use of natural materials such as wood, bamboo and rusticated stone in hotel and villas exterior harmonize the entire development with nature.
