Saltwater Oasis Wellness & Spa is a striking architectural landmark within a tourist resort situated on a paleontological site, which served as the inspiration for its design. Drawing from the Nautilus fossil and the golden ratio, the structure embodies the elegance of natural geometries. Spanning three levels, the centerpiece is a sophisticated steel dome sheltering the central saltwater pool.
The wellness complex features saltwater pools, a full spa program, fitness facilities, and other wellness amenities. The steel dome, a highlight of the design, comprises over 3.000 uniquely crafted panels, varying in size and form, exemplifying structural innovation and architectural precision.
