It is an extension of the Z9 resort. The [floating villa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-river-cabin) includes multiple indoor and outdoor activities that fulfill every adult's childhood dreams. Guests at the villa can enjoy water rafting, karaoke, lounge by the pool, and sleep in a giant net overhanging the water. While the PLA2 resort boasts many exciting activities, it incorporates [modern home design elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-living) into its structure, thereby amplifying the vacation experience. In addition to its aforementioned amenities, the team at the Z9 resort plans to include a large movie screen for private screenings at the villa. The local fish inspired the dynamic resort's exterior design. It boasts two abstract volumes, echoing the anatomies of a male and female snake-head fish swimming together.
