Envio is a wellness retreat that bridges the gap between health and hospitality. Here, health-sensitive design is not an afterthought, but the foundation of the luxury hotel experience. The idea was to design a place where guests can breathe deeply, move freely, and live completely. Set on 1.4 acres of beachfront property in Barbados, this serene location aligns with the ethos of the hotel.
Conceptually, Envio is based on a palm tree. Each public and private space branches outward from a central trunk, ensuring all experiences feel connected but independent. This fosters a sense of belonging, community, and intuitive wayfinding. Just as a palm bends and flexes, Envio’s layout supports a variety of wellness experiences without feeling rigid.
Envio’s design draws from nature, with selections that avoid anything overly stimulating or artificial. It’s luxurious, but grounded in health. Guests enjoy a range of wellness amenities, from hydrotherapy spaces to personal saunas in each guest room.
Envio incorporates green strategies to create an environment that supports health and lowers impact.
Breaking boundaries in hospitality, Envio proves health and breathtaking design go hand in hand.
