Just a brief stroll down our beach in Eze is the exotically enchanting little beach club Plage Papaya. I’ve written about Plage Papaya before but after having the chance to visit it on numerous occasions this trip I wanted to share a few more details about this special little spot on the Med. In particular, let’s examine their exotically elegant coastal decor, which has a definite emphasis on the more tropical type of beaches. By using capiz shell fixtures and other items from Bali they have created a special little sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation with a strong Indonesian vibe. Read on to soak up the beauty and to find out how you can bring the Bali beach look to your abode with ease.
This is a superb place to spend the kind of afternoon that turns into an evening, ideally after hiking the Nietzsche Trail up to Eze Village. Here you can leisure the afternoon away on a lounge chair in a dreamy snooze listening to the waves lapping at the pebble beach.
If you go there be sure to swim out to the swim platform towards the end of the day to relax and take in the very last sun on the bay. Here, you can look up to Eze Village and enjoy the dramatic meeting of the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea.
You can take your dinner on the beach to enjoy toes in the pebbles dining {their wild gambas are the best on the Côte d’Azur}
or head up the stairs and take a table under cover to soak in the alluring Balinesian decor and endless views of the sea.
The owner of Papaya and her friend, who has a shop nearby, take turns going to Bali to pick up exotic items for their businesses. I am personally quite smitten with capiz shells lately, I’ve used them quite a bit in our Pied á Eze. Their glowy, lustrous finish reflect light beautifully and they create a more exotic and elegant beach atmosphere than your more standard seashells.
If you want to create this mood in your abode check out this small capiz lotus hanging pendant, large capiz lotus hanging pendant, tulip capiz hanging lamp and the electrical cord swag kit.
Or for something a little more free flowing, what about this Capiz chandelier or Capiz chandelier windchime? I’ve installed light fixtures similar to this in the Pied á Eze and I love the soft, gentle tingly sound they make when a breeze runs through the room and the way the light reflects off of the individual shells.
I love gazing at their tassels, wooden slates and other hand crafted details. Why not add a few Tabletop Bali Umbrellas to your decor to get the look?
This is indoor~outdoor living at it’s finest. Bring that feeling to life in your living room with these Capiz shell lamp base, Shapely capiz floor lamp or Capiz tower floor lamp. These capiz shell crab throw pillows would add a rich dimension to the room, and this capiz round mirror would add a lovely level of luminous light to any room. Wouldn’t this capiz round drum accent table look incredible in a powder room?
A Buddha sculpture, Ganesh sculpture and some lotus votive candle holders in capiz shell will really bring the zen in.
The bank of changing rooms {cabines}, toilettes and the lavabo, are quite charming to be sure, but you could just use this capiz shell curtain to create a melodic and dramatic entrance or provide privacy.
But let’s not stop there! These Capiz Discs would look pretty scattered around the table, or you could write guests names on them and use them as place cards. To bring even more iridescence to the table consider these capiz scalloped placemats & capiz coasters. Fill this capiz bowl with tropical fruits or flowers for an easy, natural centerpiece. This white capiz tray would make a great foundation for a bar cart.
Here’s to hoping you’re having a glowing summer so far!

Pretty much looks like heaven on earth! Hope you have a great week, Emily! xoxo
