The Vibe in One Walk-Through

Step past vintage bikes lining the courtyard and you’ll spot racquets clacking on sunlit courts, golfers chipping beside ornamental ponds and triathletes stretching on the croquet lawn. Inside, the reception buzzes with kit bags and GPS watches, while James Martin’s open-kitchen bistro fuels chatter over macro-balanced plates. Spa aromas of eucalyptus drift down corridors leading to tree-top suites where athletes review tomorrow’s splits on private balconies.
