SOMA is presumably being transformed into the 'Tranquilium' retreat, which features predominantly throughout the best-selling book.
A swimming pool, wooden deck and hot-tub serves as a crucial element of the fictional story's setting.

The picturesque outdoor area will also most likely double up as a place for the A-list cast to relax after a long day of filming.
Despite the remote, uncivilised feel of the retreat, it is only a short ten-minute drive away from Byron's epicentre.
SOMA's website promotes the sanctuary as 'mindfully designed with a modern yet warm aesthetic, allowing clarity externally for whatever space you need within.'
