The intervention touches 39 expandable hectares of land, located in a landscape of great beauty with patches of tropical forest (“Mata Atlantica”), water streams and beaches, including a 500 m wide shore facing the coral reef. The tropical climate is mitigated by breezes making the stay comfortable all year round. The project affects the only cleared out area available on the island, and it comprises the definition of a Resort with 200 rooms and 100 bungalows with tennis courts, and a residential settlement made of eighty 5000 m² plots next to an eighteen-hole golf course.
