Outdoor Activities: Deck with Fire Troughs
Retreat center encourages outdoor activities. These fire troughs create places to congregate and enjoy the views. Below, outdoor pools unfold out towards the rest of the outdoor amenities. Because the center is activity-based, it is important to draw guests outside. Staircases on either side of the deck lead guests down to the pools, rope courses, hiking trails, tennis courts, beaches and other activities.
