The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring a spectacular bathroom wrapped in silver travertine, microcement shower walls, a freestanding soaking tub, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. A custom walk-in closet with integrated LED lighting and its own skylight completes the retreat. Outside, a private resort awaits.
