A wellness garden of circular paths and elemental zones woven through a Thai spa resort.

Set in the heart of a Thai island, Tropical Garden reworks the grounds of a spa and hotel complex into a landscape of its own: circular tiled paths and green spaces framed by bright planting and native, high-canopy trees.

A multi-level route threads zones for rest and ritual, while the four elements run through it as a waterfall, a fire terrace and an amphitheatre.
