Overlooking the bay of Aqaba and set along the coastline against a background of beautiful granite mountains, two radial curves of yellow stone embrace the Red Sea to provide all the guestrooms with stunning panoramic sea views and large shaded private balconies.  By blending sandstone, wood, and generous expanses of glass, the emphasis here is to return to basics, and to recapture the serenity of the Jordanian masonry dwellings set against the stunning panorama of sea and mountain chain.
