The Challenge
To create a luxury, all-inclusive, resort concept from scratch.
The Oppurtunity
Luxury is changing, and Affluence is no longer tied to the physicality of what you own. New status symbols can instead be found in the rich experiences that you live.
The Solution
Create a resort that appeals to the Moment Makers and offers an all-inclusive creative experience that redefines luxury, is luxury based in experience, and implements immersive art.

91% of Americans like art,
and most still view it as a luxury.
People between 22 and 37 years of age made up nearly half of the wealthy art buyers who regularly spent $1 million+ on artwork over the past two years.
