coalesce, honoring the natural world in place by celebrating the beauty in the local materials used. Maslina strongly encourag es energy efficiency and procurement practices that promote local and regional suppliers. Cuisine delights the senses thanks to organic and seasonal ingredients, and all signature in-room guest amenities and natural spa cosmetics are locally designed, non-toxic, and made without any plastics. The low-intrusive architecture floats on the landscape like scat tered pavilions, decorated with a ventilated wooden facade that blends in with the island environment. The integrated interior design is inspired by the four elements of nature, which helped construct a palette driven by the cerulean Adriatic Sea, salty summer breeze, pearly white rocks, and dense green forest.
