This Spotlight features photography by Tim Gerard Barker, captured on his return to Amanoi Resort to document the newly completed Ocean Pool Residence. Having previously photographed six of Amanoi’s residences in 2021–2022, Tim approached the project with a deep understanding of the resort’s architecture, light, and quiet elegance.

The Ocean Pool Residence stands apart with its private spa house — featuring treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and lounge — and the brief was simple: capture the residence at its most magical, during golden hour.

With the sun slipping behind the mountains each afternoon, sunrise became the perfect moment. Each morning began before dawn, every detail prepared the night before. By the final day, the team moved in seamless rhythm — two drones in the air, two cameras on the ground — capturing Amanoi’s refined beauty and the calm of the Ninh Thuan coastline in the first light of day.
