According to Lissoni, “The original idea was to make a paradise without the buildings modifying the feeling of being in a paradise”. “The development was designed with a maximum respect for nature.” also says Lissoni, who is responsible for creating 9 houses on the edge of the ocean, 9 private villas and 24 hotel residences.

Dellis Cay has a surface of 560 acres and should hold 124 private villas, 154 residences, the Mandarin Oriental hotel, as well as a marina.

It seems that the resort will turn into a little private VIP community with properties ranging from 2 to 20 million US dollars.

Construction began on June 4th 2008 and is expected to be completed in the end of 2009. It is also expected for the resort to be sold out long before that, so if you want a piece of Paradise you should hurry up.
