Driven by its proximity to the pristine Byron coastline, Lavana House (the Sanskrit word for ‘sea salt’) favours a light and bright palette worthy of a beach-house interior. Sandy neutrals, cool greys and oceanic pastels feature in the walls, floors, joinery and decor, “encouraging a sense of calmness and relaxation just as the ocean would on a serene summer’s day,” says Melissa. Crisp whites on the walls and outside spaces continue the summery scheme

Located on the upper level for added privacy, this restful sanctuary features a beautifully designed ensuite and opens onto its own private balcony—offering a quiet space to soak in the ocean air and morning light. Thoughtfully curated for comfort and calm, the master suite is the heart of Lavana’s relaxed luxury.
