Top 10 Best Water Secrets for the Success of Hotel and Resort Development
Water makes up about 71% of the Earth’s surface, while the other 29% consists of continents and islands. The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%.
Water is a life giver - even a life creator. It lies at the basis of our understanding of how life works. It also lies at the basis of how we understand our own personal lives.
Water cools the earth when it heats up and warms it when it cools down.
For hotel and resort development, WATER, through the eyes of creative owners and designers, can contribute much to the beauty and unique part of each project.
We respect the nature but we change our places of view. The first photo is in Trolltunga, Odda, #Norway. The second one is Lake #Como, #Italy. The third one is in a #Santorini Villa. Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater).

Whether you experienced a Roman inspired hottub, a outdoor jacuzzi in Pita Maha Resort & Spa, Bali, Indonesia or were sitting near the romantic windows of a luxury hotel in #Santorini, your memory is not easy to forget.
