About Nudibranch Hotel and Resort
Nudibranch is a hotel and resort located on Nanji Island in Zhejiang Province, China. The design covers 31000 square meters and is inspired by sea creatures found around the island, such as the nudibranch and other shellfish. The building is raised on soft legs that connect the ground to restaurants, bars, a spa and a swimming pool. The public area resembles a floating space above the sand. The sandy ground extends into the hotel and forms an outdoor playground in the shade. Eco-friendly technologies reduce the environmental impact.
