At night, the glowing outdoor cabana is the perfect place to watch the stars and the stingrays passing by.

Head inside, where the energy of underwater sea life is reflected by blue and white tones. Lounge in a stingray rocking chair amid a jellyfish coffee table, medusa lights and a cocktail trolley.

Peep through glass sections of flooring in the living room to check out the marine life swimming below. Flip a switch to illuminate underwater lights for a night-time peek at the fauna.
