Thirteen canvas suites above the sea on Nusa Penida.
Thirteen canvas suites follow the cliff above the sea on Nusa Penida, their open sides bringing the horizon into the room. Bamboo communal buildings by Pablo Luna Studio give the shared spaces their sculptural character, including the Shell Restaurant overlooking the ocean.
The appeal is in that closeness to the setting: canvas overhead, stone and timber in the shared spaces, and beach access below. For travellers drawn to open-air living, Intaaya offers a particular kind of island stay, with the architecture and landscape experienced together.
All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.
Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means
Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.
The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.
In the Shell Restaurant, a communal building rather than a guest tent, Pablo Luna Studio publishes passive strategies for ventilation, orientation and shading as reducing energy demand. No ventilation rate is published.

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.

Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.

Wireless provision verified in person across the property, including where access points sit relative to guest sleeping areas.
