THE ADDRESS
Water.
Light. Dawn.
The name comes from the Arabic for sea and the Latin for dawn. The Alba faces east, so the day starts on your terrace.
Zaha Hadid Architects’ curves rise from the beach. Vladimir Djurovic’s gardens run down to the sand. The hotel sits at the centre: Dorchester Collection’s twelfth worldwide and its first by the sea.
Residents live inside a five-star resort, with its wellness centre, pools and dining a walk away.
