Imagine waking up in the Caribbean atmosphere of Sint Maarten and walking along this Novowood decking walkway to reach the crystal clear waters of Maho Bay.

This is not a dream, because the Royal Islander Club reopens La Plage with a completely renovated character, after more than a year of reconstruction work, to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Irma.

The walkway that develops around the poolside of the Tortuga Beach Café, continuing up to the access to the beach, is made entirely of wood-colored Novowood staves, which find perfect place in this tropical setting, for their natural finish and their warm colour.

The shielding panels placed to cover the windows of the receptive structure and those dividing the boundaries of the areas of relevance, are made of profiles Novowood sunshade, which mitigate the light of the sunny Caribbean days.

Finally, the balustrade that develops along the entire coastline profile, composed of modules of Novowood shade profiles created specifically for the project, is the perfect element from which to admire magical and romantic sunsets.
