In 2017, the successful construction of Sea Horizon Resort provided tourists with a new holiday option and became a highlight project in the field of cliff camping. Located in a scenic seaside area, the project is famous for its 7-meter diameter luxury dome, which includes 3 units in total. Each tent dome is equipped with a sturdy frame, durable covering materials, an efficient insulation layer and comfortable curtains. It ensures that guests can enjoy the natural beauty while having a comfortable living experience.

Project Background

Cliff camping is a way to build a house on the edge of a cliff, so that people can enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery while experiencing the thrill of an accelerated heartbeat. Campers can listen to the sound of wind, birdsong and water flowing on the cliff and feel the primitive charm of nature. With the popularity of outdoor sports and the growing demand for natural adventures, the popularity of cliff camping is increasing.
Sea Horizon Resort is located in the peaceful fishing village of Sedili Besar, perched high on a magnificent cliff overlooking the South China Sea. This ideal location is only a 1.5-hour drive from Johor Sinai Airport. Camp on a cliff brings you closer to nature and closer to the soul. Drawing deep inspiration from local culture and architecture, the resort incorporates the spirit of navigators into the architecture to create a "Mediterranean" seaside living experience that exudes a sense of tranquility and peace, which is rare in today's fast-paced society.

Challenges

Sea Horizon Resort
01 Located on the Malaysian coastline, the project's three 7-meter accommodation domes are nestled in pristine woodlands near the cliffs, where the designers and construction team worked together to create Malaysia's first exclusive cliff-side luxury project. The conditions in this area pose serious maintenance and construction challenges.

02 The team built a platform and a complete drainage system on the edge of the cliff to accommodate the original hotel, swimming pool and tent camping facilities. Ensure that the cliff camping tent will not easily mold or get water.

03 During the 4-5 years of operation, the cliff camping tent has withstood the test of sea breeze and typhoon. The corrosion-resistant fabric and sturdy frame will not be eroded by salty seawater. The tent still stands in the typhoon. It still maintains good customer service and reviews, and maintains a high exposure rate on major booking platforms.

Features and Achievements

The spherical roof design not only gives the dome a nice appearance, but also helps the rainwater flow away naturally. The luxury cliff camping dome focuses on sustainability and environmental impact. Shelter Dome chooses recyclable or biodegradable materials to reduce the burden on the environment.
