The iconic Blue Water gets an upgrade

-

Being one of Geoffrey Bawa’s most iconic creations, the hotel is a master class in style and taste. Expressed through an aesthetic that has become the standard for rustic sophistica­tion and a touchstone for refined luxury.

The Blue Water has long been a favourite with local occupants and foreign guest alike, winning them over with a peerless combinatio­n of first-rate cuisine, exceptiona­lly appointed rooms and suites, sprawling gardens full of private, open spaces, one of the islands’ largest pools, a luxury spa and possibly the finest location on the southern coast.

Recently, the hotel has gone through several changes that enhance the overall experience. The fabled pool gets a complete face-lift, with several additions to go along with it, including a pool bar, spacious sundecks and much more. Amendments to the interior expand the hotels facilities, while retaining its palatial sense of light and space. The inclusion of several restored works of art, antiques and chic reproducti­ons enhance the foyers and living spaces, with several luxurious flourishes improving the rooms and suites. Complement­ing these additions in form, are numerous revisions to the hotels functional offering. Giving occupants a diversity of choice and ensuring a level of personaliz­ed service, which is very much the pièce de résistance, among the Blue Water’s many alluring facets.
