"Blue Ocean Stay": Bringing the entire sea into your window view

When the first ray of morning light spreads across the horizon, it’s not an alarm clock but the sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks that wakes you. Opening the balcony door, the salty sea breeze wrapped in sunlight greets you, and as far as the eye can see, the boundless sea shifts from light blue to indigo. Fishing boats trail golden reflections, drawing gentle arcs in the distance. Here, time is a tangible slow. In the afternoon, nestle into the rattan sofa in the living room with freshly brewed coffee at hand. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, waves repeatedly wash over the beach, like an uninterrupted private whisper. At dusk, there’s no need to chase the sunset; just set up a table and chairs on the terrace and watch the sky turn orange and pink-purple until starlight falls onto the sea, mingling with the warm yellow lights of the guesthouse. The room has no elaborate decorations, only the warmth of solid wood furniture, the softness of cotton and linen bedding, and windows all facing the sea—lying in bed, you can watch the tides rise and fall, with even your dreams touched by the sea’s freshness. In the morning, collect shells on the beach; in the afternoon, go fishing by boat; at night, listen to the waves while barbecuing in the courtyard. Every moment here turns the romance of "living by the sea" into your everyday reality. No need to long for distant seas anymore, because where you stay is the direction of the sea.
