Resort

Cox’s Bazar, located in Bangladesh, is a city, fishing port, and district headquarters, renowned for its unbroken 120-kilometer sandy beach, which is the second-longest in the world after Praia do Cassino in Brazil. Although not a major international tourist destination, Cox’s Bazar has become one of the most popular tourist spots within Bangladesh. As a result, both public and private sectors have increasingly invested in expanding facilities to accommodate the growing number of visitors. The project site for this design was situated 5 kilometers away from Kolatoli Beach, the oldest tourist destination in the area, and was well connected to the marine drive.

The focus of the project was the design of a resort, which is defined as a self-contained, isolated commercial establishment intended to meet the diverse needs of vacationers. These needs typically include food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping. The design intention centered on creating a unified experience by connecting these various functions through a continuous, integrated structure. A spiral pathway was incorporated into the design, serving as the central element that links all of the resort’s amenities. This pathway was envisioned not only as a functional means of circulation but also as a symbolic gesture, representing the seamless flow of experiences for visitors. The design aimed to provide a holistic, immersive environment that caters to the diverse needs of tourists while taking advantage of the site's proximity to the natural beauty of Cox’s Bazar.
