Question 12

Where does the name Cielo come from?

Accepted Answer

Cielo means sky in Spanish, but the French phonetic sounds like sky and water. The "sky" signifies the skylights present in all Pearls that lets you stargaze in comfort from the second floor. The "water" reminds us of the big window in the dome facing the beach.
We’ve named our domes Pearls because of their shape but also because we are situated on oyster road (chemin des Huîtres). Oysters are also cultivated in the Bay of St-Simon, the bay facing our accommodations. You might see some fishermen boats go by with the daily harvest.
