Morning at the Palace

A setting that gives the programme room to breathe.

Movement, stillness and shared time take on a different quality within the open walls of the Palace.

The setting

A shared home without losing personal space

Ten rooms across five garden bungalows give a group a shared base. Between sessions, guests can move between the garden, pool, coast, beach dining areas and quieter corners of the property.
