From island resorts to lakeside lodges, BACA designs leisure and hospitality destinations that embrace the water rather than retreat from it. Our work spans beach clubs, spas, wellness retreats and visitor attractions across the UK, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean.
Every scheme starts with the setting — tides, views, climate and access — so that guests feel the water from the moment they arrive, and the buildings stay resilient for decades to come.

The destination begins before you reach the shore
Jetties, boat landings and first views are designed as part of the guest experience.
Rooms, spas and restaurants open to the water, on structures that adapt to changing levels.
Low-impact, resilient design keeps destinations open, sustainable and worth returning to.
