Nestled on the top of heavily wooded hills 280 metres above 1000 Island Lake, the Anantara Resort site offers an amazing opportunity for the resort to melt into the beauty of the natural environment that embraces the site. The proposed design cradles the central facilities of the resort in a natural valley within the site and tumbles the form of this building and the swimming pools down the valley, with room blocks and villas spreading out to either side of the valley.
