H&M HOME x Palm Heights – A Sun-Drenched Collaboration That Brings Island Style Home

H&M HOME has teamed up with Palm Heights, the luxurious and retro-inspired Caribbean boutique hotel located on Grand Cayman's iconic Seven Mile Beach. The result? A playful, 23-piece interior collection that captures the essence of laid-back resort living with a glamorous 1970s twist.

Designed by Gabriella Khalil
Palm Heights was founded and designed by Gabriella Khalil, a New York-based Creative Director known for her eye for bold, eclectic design. This collaboration translates her vision into a collection of home pieces that feel both personal and transportive. Khalil describes it as a way to bring the magic of a holiday into everyday life — whether you're lounging in a striped robe at home or serving drinks with colourful glassware while entertaining guests.

Resort Aesthetic in Every Detail
The collection draws heavily from the visual identity of Palm Heights. Iconic beach umbrellas, sun-drenched terraces and textured natural materials have all been reimagined into objects for your home. The palette is bright yet grounded, featuring striped towels and robes in yellow and earthy brown tones, trimmed with graphic chequered borders. These match the signature yellow umbrellas that line the beachfront of the hotel.

Highlights from the Collection
Among the standout pieces are sculptural teak sandstone ceramics, bowls, vases and candle holders, echoing the hotel's mineral-inspired interiors. Handwoven items such as baskets and handheld fans add tactile, artisanal charm.

The playful side of island life comes through in items like the wooden backgammon set and beach tennis kit, designed for spontaneous summer gatherings. To complete the atmosphere, a coloured glass pitcher and tumbler set invites you to entertain in style. Matching scented candles and diffusers come in similar glass and are infused with warm cedarwood, spicy cardamom and sweet tonka bean evoking the smell of a summer sunset.

A Collection That Celebrates Joy, Warmth and Escape
Evelina Kravaev-Söderberg, Head of Design & Creative at H&M HOME, explains that the collection was inspired by the emotional power of design hotels and the energy they embody. By combining Khalil's unique style with H&M HOME's accessible approach, the collection delivers affordable luxury with personality.
As Gabriella Khalil puts it, "Palm Heights is luxurious but also warm, playful and inviting. That's what I hope people feel in this collection — the beginning of summer, joyfulness and elegant simplicity."
