Tommy Bahama by Lunada Bay Tile is introducing 3 exciting new color blends, in the continuing exploration of beautiful and untouched locations throughout the world that inspire relaxation, freedom, and adventure. The new colorways in the series are: Fujisan, Lucky Bay, and Motuo.

What are the locations that inspire these colors, and how do they translate into color blends? The question for you is, how will these colors inspire your space and bring encouragement to live spontaneously, unwind in style, and to feel your very best?

Cayo Coco: Don your swimsuit and flip flops for some epic relaxation in Cayo Coco, a luscious tropical island off the coast of Cuba. Famous for its white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and aquamarine waters, this island paradise entices travelers with the promise of endless surf and sea life adventures. The glass blend transports you to this getaway destination through a combination of whisper-soft whites, blues, aquas and greens.

Cocos Keeling: Australia's last untouched paradise lies in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, kissed by the sun and caressed by fragrant trade winds. Only two of the 27 islands are inhabited; the rest await your exploration. Whisper-soft blues and a hint of gray-green make up this lustrous blend.

Kangaroo Island: Welcome to Australia’s Kangaroo Island where landscapes invite you to stop and gaze. The island may be wild by nature, but anticipate a friendly welcome—sea lions greet you on pristine white beaches; koalas doze in lofty eucalyptus; and pelicans glide over shimmering waterways. The soaring cliffs, dense forests, golden sand dunes and lush wetlands of the island are discernible in this tile blend.

Maldives: Nowhere in the world will you find the whiter-than-white, powder-soft sand that you will discover on the coral islands of Maldives. Whether you arrive by private yacht or by seaplane, spacious villas perch above aquamarine waters. But it is the perfect beaches that lure travelers from the soft comforts into nature. The tile blend of soft whites awakens a sense of spirituality and contemplation.

Cappadocia: For more than a thousand years, people have made their home in the soft rock of Cappadocia, Turkey. Erosion may have shaped the incredible landscape, but humans took a cue from Mother Nature and carved complex tunnels into the rock. The natural-hued blend emulates the dry and rocky plateau of this World Heritage site.

Pamukkale: Located in Turkey, this natural wonder is comprised of terraces and travertine formed by streams and hot springs. The waters are believed to have curative powers and have been used as a thermal bath for centuries. The tile blends reflect colors of gray stone and icy blue water.

Skyros: If it's holistic healing you’re after, look no further than Skyros, the most remote of the Greek Islands in the Aegean sea. An island of dual personalities, the northern half offers a landscape of green and fertile densely wooded forests while the south contrasts with jagged coastlines and barren scenery. The Skyros glass blend amplifies the beauty found in nature through a blend of gray, white, sea and sky blues, and a hint of green.

Kaikoura: Snow-capped mountains meet the sea in Kaikoura, a dramatic landscape nestled between the Southern Alps in New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean. Known for its abundant wildlife—including whales, fur seals, and albatross – Kaikoura offers wanderers endless winding coastal walks for sea gazing. This mosaic blend magically captures the combination of earth meeting water through hues of deep blue, gray-blue and soft white.

Motuo: In a remote region of Southeastern Tibet lies Motuo, a subtropical and biodiverse region often called the “Tibetan Shangri-La”— where Bengal tigers prowl and Takins roam alongside the Himalayas. The glass mosaic blend brings together hues of native teak and sandalwood with the blues, grays and glacier whites seen along the dramatic mountain peaks.

Surin: Rugged and rewarding, Thailand’s Surin Islands are an undiscovered, remote escape that draw divers and snorkelers to explore coral reefs and sea creatures. The national park—an archipelago of five islands—is only accessible by boat. The tile’s color palette is reminiscent of Surin’s pristine beaches, clear bays and lush jungles.

Lucky Bay: Along the picturesque coast of Western Australia lies a pristine white sand beach with grains of sand so soft and fine they squeak under your feet. The crystal-clear azure waters beacon rich marine life, and there’s a good chance you’ll spot kangaroos lounging on the beach. This mosaic blend is a study in beautiful blues.

Fujisan: Coniferous and deciduous trees blanket the lower slopes of Japan’s Mount Fuji in a lush green. Above the tree line, in the Alpine Zone, you’ll see remnants of past volcanic eruptions, creating a unique and rocky terrain. This mosaic blend captures the connection between the ancient lava landscape and the icy-blue lakes surrounding this arresting scenery.

San Blas: Experience the feeling of tranquil life on Panama’s San Blas Islands. The archipelago comprising 365 islands— many uninhabited—are dotted with coconut palms that grow aside bright turquoise waters. Pristine white beaches and crystal-clear seas offer the ultimate digital detox while you swim among the starfish. Aqua, whites and grays emulate the look of this tropical destination.

Twillingate: Breathtaking coastal views are the hallmarks of Twillingate Island off the coast of Newfoundland. The rock-ribbed landscape, dotted with forests and carpeted with soft grasses, overlooks steel-gray ocean waters and drifting icebergs—even in the summer months. The glass mosaic blend echoes the look and feel of this majestic coastline through a combination of oceanic blues, cool grays, and seafoam whites.

Aogashima: A remote island in the Philippine Sea, Aogashima is an active volcano island accessible only by boat or helicopter. Home to 200 residents and occasional adventurers, the island is a serene getaway with a sense of danger. The striking glass blend takes inspiration from sea blues, cool winds and dark volcanic rock.
