Slated to open this summer, Kalesma calls on connections between sea and landscape, public and private. Simple interiors by Studio Bonarchi combine brushed wood and brass details with earthy tones and textures that highlight the white exteriors.

A walled garden, reflecting pools, and winding paths separate the hotel from the bustling city beyond
