Explora's accommodation ladder runs from Ocean Terrace Suites through Penthouses to Residences, and the Residences are where the brand puts its clearest daylight between itself and a premium balcony product.
Residences run from around 70 to 280 square metres across one, two and three-bedroom configurations, each with a wraparound private terrace and, at the top grades, an outdoor whirlpool.
Interiors use a European residential palette — natural stone, walnut, linen — with a separate living room, dining for six and a walk-in wardrobe.
Service includes a dedicated host, in-residence dining from any of the nine venues, a stocked bar to preference and priority for the top tasting experience and spa bookings.
