Operating since 1945, WATG is the world’s leading design agency for the hospitality, leisure and entertainment markets. Having worked in 157 countries across six continents, WATG has designed more great hotels and resort than any other firm on the planet. Many of WATG’s projects have become international landmarks renowned for their design and sense of place.

WATG has practiced with environmental and cultural sensitivity for as long as the firm has been in existence with many examples of the world’s great resorts using materials and design styles that create unobtrusive and sensitive resorts.

A key design objective of the GKI Resort has been to ensure that it remains low-rise and that the Resort’s built form does not dominate the Island’s natural landscape.

• Hotel Bora Bora, French Polynesia,
