What fascinated me most was the contrast running through the property — light and dark, indulgence and wellbeing, nature and architecture — creating an atmosphere that feels both decadent and strangely grounding.
The stay also offered an opportunity to capture some of the experiences that form such an important part of the hotel's identity, from its Spiritual Wellbeing programme and Seven Chakra Afternoon Tea to the South American-inspired Tribal Brunch.
