The project is an example of using cutting edge architecture to highlight specialized and locally inspired design details to create a unique environment in an exceptional setting. The Bahia Mar Beach House was originally built as a private house, and then incorporated into the hotel. In 2019, Hooper & Louw completed the additions of the Spa and Garden Suites.
Synonymous with sustainable tourism in Vilanculous, this ethos is incorporated into the buildings and materials used, as well as throughout the running of the hotel today.
