作为印度洋马达加斯加以东的一颗宝石，这处遥远的非洲岛屿上回荡着异国鸟类、鱼虫和热带植物发出的声响。毛里求斯的魅力不仅在于其无与伦比的自然美景，还在于其令人惊叹的、融合了非洲、印度、中国与法国元素的独特文化。
A gem just east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, this remote African island echoes with calls of exotic birds, fish, and tropical plants. Mauritius’s magic not only lies in its unparalleled natural beauty but also its incredible mix of African, Indian, Chinese, and French cultures.

出生且居住于毛里求斯的建筑师Jean-François Adam担任了酒店建筑的结构翻新工作，最初，建筑是按照摩洛哥传统民居的风格建造。他表示：“我们必须将这些自然元素引入室内。我们重新调整了所有床铺的方向，使其面朝大海，游泳池也得到重新设计，与海滩形成了更好的连接。”
Mauritius-born and -based architect Jean-François Adam renovated the hotel’s existing structure, which was originally built in the style of a traditional Moroccan riad. “We had to bring these natural elements into the interiors,” he says. “We reoriented all the beds to face the sea, and we redesigned the pool for a better connection to the beach.”

艺术家Camille Walala将岛屿的精华带入了室内设计的概念：“我被岛上的鲜艳色彩所震撼。人们用令人惊叹的色调来粉刷他们的房子，在植物的翠绿与天空充满变幻的色彩的衬托下，这些色调显得尤为突出。我希望把它们与我个人标志性的波普色彩结合起来。”
Similarly, artist Camille Walala brought the essence of the island into the interior design concept: “I was blown away by the vibrant colors around the island. People paint their houses in the most amazing tones that really stand out against the emerald green of the plants and the ever-changing colors of the sky,” she says. “I wanted to marry these tones with my signature pop colors.”

岛上的每座房屋都具有鲜明的外观，包括大气的日落红，以及来自棕榈树与甘蔗田的绿色。酒店外墙被刷成桃红色并以皇家蓝点缀；日光浴床是充满活力的绿松石色，带有橙色的镶边；就连沙滩巾也采用了金丝雀黄。Camille还与岛上多位技艺精湛的工匠合作——他们被亲切地称呼“SaltShakers”——为酒店设计和布置了所有的家具。
从泳池边的藤椅到图书馆铺设的地毯，再到马赛克桌、靠垫和日光浴床，各类家具均是专门为项目定制。酒店本身也与工匠们保持着密切的联系，并邀请他们参加设计工作室的研讨会。

As a result, the bright hues of the houses dotting the island—as well as the pinks of the awe-inspiring sunsets and greens of surrounding palms and sugarcane fields—appear everywhere across the property. The façade is painted peach with royal blue accents, the daybeds are a vibrant turquoise with orange piping, and even the beach towels are canary yellow. Camille also worked with an extraordinary range of artisans—lovingly referred to as the hotel’s “SaltShakers”—on the island to develop the entire range of furnishings at the hotel.
Everything from the woven chairs by the pool to the rug in the library to mosaic tables, cushions, and sunbeds are bespoke. The hotel maintains close relationships with all the SaltShakers, and guests are invited to participate in workshops at their ateliers.

与酒店的其他部分相比，59间客房给人更加沉稳的感觉，有助于客人们休息睡眠。但俏皮的色彩仍然存在于一些特殊的地方，例如火热的橙红色椅子和瓷砖淋浴间，彩绘陶瓷的种植盆，以及黑白条纹的靠垫等。
In comparison to the rest of the hotel, the 59 guestrooms are more subdued to promote restful sleep. But playful splashes of color are still found in features like fiery orange-red chairs and similarly hued tiled showers, plants in painted ceramic pots, and black-and-white striped cushions.
