The magnificent turquoise colonnade of Armando’s Beach Club frames a scene of geometric perfection, where Islamic-inspired keyhole arches meet the brilliant Mexican sun in a modernist symphony that Slim Aarons immortalized in the 1980s. Against pristine white walls, these bold aqua columns create rhythmic shadows across stone terraces where guests recline on striking yellow and black diamond-patterned loungers. The crystalline pool mirrors both the colonnade’s curves and the dramatic cloud formations above, while tropical palms soften the structured geometry of this Acapulco paradise.
This image has transcended mere resort documentation to become a definitive statement on how modernist designers reimagined Moorish design traditions for contemporary luxury. The photograph captures a pivotal moment when international resorts embraced bold geometric statements, transforming traditional Islamic motifs into symbols of jet-set sophistication. These soaring turquoise arches represent more than decorative elements; they embody the 1980s design revolution that merged ancient geometries with poolside hedonism. As cultural testimony, this scene reveals how resort design became a language of cosmopolitan identity during the golden age of luxury travel.
Display this print in your entertainment area or sophisticated study, where your guests will marvel at the interplay between turquoise columns and azure waters. Your visitors will appreciate how the geometric patterns create visual rhythm throughout your space. Your home will channel the confident design sensibility of Acapulco’s glamorous heyday. Your walls deserve this museum-quality window into an era when resorts dared to make bold design statements.
The vibrant turquoise colonnade contrasts brilliantly with sun-bleached stone terraces and the deep cobalt sky, while strategic pops of yellow from the geometric lounger patterns energize the entire composition. This chromatic mastery transforms poolside leisure into a study of color relationships, where every hue serves the greater visual harmony that made Slim Aarons legendary.

Paper & Frame Info
Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what will be the size of my print?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing system used depends on the product type and your delivery location. In most cases, there's only a few millimetres difference between the metric and imperial conversions.
Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print will always match the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it's included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.
Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame (the print size including any border). The frame molding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.
