Cloward H2O worked on a variety of aquatic amenities at the resort. These included the engineering and design of the 0.96 million-gallon saltwater lagoon. The lagoon is fed by water pumped from wells on the beach. It also functions as a water source for the resort’s desalination operation supplying portable water to the resort.

The company delivered two 90,000 gallon infinity pools, with bar and submerged table seating. In addition, a lounge shelf allows guests to relax in the pool and scenic beach dune.
