From the Publisher:

Few people understand the nature of resorts and the secrets of designing them more than the world renowned architects and designers, Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG), whose mission over the last six decades has been `to design experiences that lift the spirit'. Ranging from luxurious island resorts to exotic desert getaways and from sophisticated urban hideaways to cool mountaintop retreats, some of its extraordinary projects include the Hotel Bora Bora in French Polynesia, The Palace of the Lost City in South Africa, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in California, and the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa in Hawaii.

This spectacular volume takes you beyond the foyers to explore the inspiration and ideas behind the designs, which often begin from a thought on a notepad.

Review:

The photography is stunning and the book gives a privileged insight into some of the most beautiful and stylish resorts. Highly Recommended!
