What you get.

Segal Architecture

DAO Island brings beachfront and overwater accommodation, arrival, dining and wellness into a landscape-led hospitality setting. Timber, stone, planted edges and generous shade connect the pavilions to the changing boundary between land and water. Overwater suites and beach villas create contrasting relationships to the lagoon and the planted shore. Portfolio views follow those settings from the wider landscape and arrival to the private room, keeping the material and spatial language connected across the island.
