ROOM: CORALS BANDA
Vibrant. Vital. Eco-builder.
Reminiscent of colors found in coral reefs teaming with brightly colored fish, plants and other marine life, CORALS is our underwater pink & coral haven.
Exuding calmness and stability, CORALS is a celebration of both the beauty of corals and their importance in sustaining life underwater – and by extension our local culture. In addition to helping keep fish healthy, for many centuries locals have relied on corals to help build and decorate their homes.
Our CORALS banda is built on a wood-latticed coral floor and has two doors - one south-facing double door leading to the main path and a west-facing door providing direct access to the dunes and channel. Retractable kindu shutters open to allow expansive views to the north and west. A mangrove wood balcony stretching the west face of CORALS is accessible by outdoor ladder, the perfect place to sit and take in a sunset over the water.
Relax on the floating day or swing bed and you may just be inspired by some of the many gifts of corals - providing ecosystems for underwater life, serving as mating habitats and nurseries for sea mammals, filtering & cleaning water, and protecting our warm shallows from the open sea.
Soak in the vibrancy of this coral oasis all the while surrounded by succulents such as Mother of Thousands, Coastal Rosemary and Barbeton Groundsel. A starfish floor lamp made from coconut husk enhances the warm indoor glow as evening sets in.
For privacy the interior space is lined with burlap curtains decorated with pink and coral glassbeads.
