## What this means for your project

Zabeel Saray is the most wellness-recognised property in our portfolio: the World Travel Awards named it the World’s Leading Spa Resort three times after opening. The guest-room casegoods, general-area joinery and timber flooring guests experience there were designed and produced by Cocoplum Design Studio. That is the standard we bring to [hotel and resort interiors](https://cocoplum.com.au/projects/hospitality/) and [FF&E packages](https://cocoplum.com.au/projects/furniture-design/) in Australia, and the evidence base behind our [neuroarchitecture strategy](https://cocoplum.com.au/neuroarchitecture-strategy/) work.
