Inspiration for the design of Opal Sol comes from the natural curve of the coastal line in front of the site, which was seamlessly integrated with the curvature of the Opal Sands building. The two structures will be connected through a pedestrian bridge, creating a cohesive and visually stunning experience for guests. The guest experience is at the forefront of the design, with the lobby area designed to amplify the building’s entrance and the guest rooms optimized to maximize ocean views by directing all balconies towards the water.
