B oth the beach club and the spa are also tied together via geography, this time through a Capri- inspired décor. The beach club is a transitional space between the exterior and interior; a luxurious and relaxing halfway house. Lime-washed oak panels give the space a bright feel and there is a huge bar complete with matching bar stools, dining table and sofas. Teak flooring helps bridge the inside and outside spaces, but a custom pattern removes any hint of the industrial. Through a side door to starboard is a sauna, ice fountain and shower, which leads onto a foldout swim platform. On the bridge deck, the spa features a citrus theme. The Lemon Grove is a dedicated relaxation room, with carved stone lemon trees climbing the walls. There is a Hammam, a hair salon, a massage room with Capri-themed painted walls and a day head with a bold honey onyx vanity and mosaic floor. The stone floors throughout have been hand-chipped to give a soft, aged feel. Aft of the spa is the impressively equipped modern gym, complete with four live lemon trees, which leads out to the twelve-metre long infinity pool and Jacuzzi. This space is primarily for lounging and relaxing, with plenty of integrated sunbeds and built-in seating around the bar. A rain shower appears from the ceiling on one side, while on the other a hanging chair is a playful touch.
