He has a wonderful energy and I truly believe he is one of the best hoteliers in the business who totally understands what his customers want and need.
Describe the hotel building, your room and the view... I’m in a pool villa, my sanctuary – it is so peaceful and makes me feel in harmony. The walls are neutral with accents of colours which I see amongst nature in the island – something which is at the heart of my work with LUX* Island Resorts. There is no clutter, no booklets advertising things I do not need or will look at – there is a blank journal so I can write and draw thoughts when I’m sitting on the beach. My bed is so comfortable and the linen feels amazing against my skin. There is a subtle
and pleasant scent in the air. And when I look out of my doors and windows I see the most incredible view of sea and sand, it takes my breath away every morning. When I open my patio doors I step straight on the sand as I walk a few yards to the sea – paradise!
Who designed it? Picasso – I love his work!
What’s the restaurant / bar like? The restaurant is just amazing, the atmosphere is relaxed and there is the most incredible fresh food and fresh juices available. The bar is buzzing, it has a great atmosphere and the cocktails look and taste like heaven!
