12:00 · Noon · 22 rooms

Twenty-two rooms.
Each one has its own noon.

We plan every room around the hour its shade is best. Ask for yours by the clock, not by the view.

A white pool-side room at noon, its glass door open onto blue water, a striped pink throw at the foot of a low white bed.

Lido 04

Shade 11:40–14:10 · 34 m² · Door onto the water

The parasol outside your door is yours from eight.
Ground floor, three steps to the lido.

A private terrace from above at noon: a pink and white striped parasol seen as a circle, a white table in its round shadow, the sea beyond a low wall.

Terrace 11

Shade 12:30–15:00 · 41 m² · Lunch in your own circle

A terrace above the deck with a table that
stays in shadow from soup to granita.

A round white tower room with a deep circular window onto the sea and a disc of noon sun on the terrazzo floor.

Tower 17

Shade all day · 29 m² · A skylight that draws noon

Round room, round window. At twelve the sun
lands on the floor like the hand of a clock.

Hold this room

15:00 · The islet · Six hundred metres by rowing boat

Row round
the islet

Mira keeps the boat at the foot of the lido stairs. Draw a circle round the islet to row it once, and it will show you where the afternoon goes.

A small rocky islet seen from above, with a ring of striped parasols on a beach club deck, a white chapel on its high point and a tiny pool cut into the rock.

17:40 → 22:00 · Evening

Book a shadow,
not a room.

Striped parasols on the lido deck at twenty to six, their shadows stretched long across the terrazzo and over the pool edge.
The terrace at the pink hour: a calm sea and a sky fading from pink to pale green, two furled striped parasols and two glasses on a white table.
Dinner under the white pergola at the blue hour, candle lanterns on a long white table and the sea darkening beyond.
The lido at ten at night from above, the pool glowing blue from its underwater lights and the parasols furled in a row.

Evening at Saltlight: the long shadow at 17:40, the pink hour at 19:05, the blue hour at 20:20 and the lido lit at 22:00.
