In this context, Mermaid Beach Resort, situated on Pechar Dwip, features a distinctive traditional setting. At the resort’s entrance, colorful triangular flags hanging between the trees create a lively, festive atmosphere. The authorities have decorated the premises in a fully traditional style, drawing visitors’ attention.
The resort restaurant displays large paintings that reflect local culture. The authorities have adorned the swimming pool with a variety of colors, enhancing its appeal to visitors. Across the garden, aesthetically designed owl-shaped installations made of wood and bamboo highlight an eco-friendly theme.
