A retreat that sets standards: Bawe Island, situated off the coast of Zanzibar, is an exclusive resort on a private island where architecture, interior design and wellness come together to create a unique elegant and natural experience. In the bathroom areas, the selected Villeroy & Boch product solutions integrate seamlessly in the overall concept with high-quality designs and innovative functions – clearly illustrating the portfolio’s perfect fit with the requirements of the international hospitality sector.
Exclusivity, nature and well-being
Bawe Island is part of the“Cocoon Collection”, a luxury brand owned by the Azzola entrepreneurial family from Italy who have been operating in the Indian Ocean for over 40 years. Just 15 minutes from Stone Town by speedboat, the combination of a tropical island paradise and exclusive wellness experiences make Bawe Island a relaxing and inspiring retreat. 70 villas are available for guests on this island of over 30 hectares, each with its own pool and a butler service.
A design statement
The architecture and interior design of the villas follow a clear concept developed by the South African interior design studio Weylandts, featuring high-quality materials, minimalist shapes and careful use of natural elements. The result is aesthetics that radiate peace and authenticity. Continuing the theme of nature and design, Villeroy & Boch products have been used to create bathroom solutions that make both the guest bathrooms and the bathroom architecture an integral component of the interior design.
A creative concept for the washbasin area
The sink areas are fitted with round surface-mounted washbasins combined with wall-mounted taps. With their thin ceramic walls in White Alpine, the delicate basins from the Artis series convey an impression of lightness while offering high comfort thanks to their depth. The clear geometric shapes and water-saving features of the taps from the Dawn series add functional accents.
Sculptural design statements
The freestanding Theano baths in skin-friendly Quaryl® are an eye-catching central feature in the room and the outside area. The rounded contours give the baths an understated elegance that is further emphasised by the sculptural Conum tap.
Flexible and spacious shower areas
The spacious open shower solutions offer high showering comfort with ultra-flat Quaryl® Squaro Infinity shower trays that can be adapted with millimetre precision to every space scenario. Impressing with their variety and user friendliness, taps from the Universal Showers series add the finishing touch to the flush-fitting integrated shower areas in matt Stone White.
Toilets with timeless aesthetics and innovative technology
Wall-mounted toilets and bidets from the Subway 3.0 collection in Stone White are fitted in the toilet areas. With their high flushing performance, the rimless toilets with TwistFlush technology and a dirt-repellent CeramicPlus finish ensure hygiene combined with reduced water consumption and easy cleaning.
