<![CDATA[This article discusses the application of the Attention restoration theory (ART) to create a restorative environment in the design of a wellness resort through poetic translation. The southern region of Malang Regency was selected as the project site due to its natural potential, including coastal landscapes, varied topography, abundant vegetation, and a relatively pristine environmental quality, making it suitable for supporting a restorative environment. The design process was carried out through four stages: capturing poetic moments, translating the poem into four stanzas, transforming the stanzas into site zones, and developing the final design. The poetic translation was implemented by incorporating the four components of ART: being away, soft fascination, extent, and compatibility. The design results demonstrate that the application of these four ART components generated four restorative zones: the arrival zone, recovery zone, tranquil zone, and accommodation zone. These zones were designed through the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, the utilization of the site's natural contours, orientation toward coastal views, the use of natural materials such as timber and natural stone, and the incorporation of vegetation and water elements. These design strategies create spatial experiences that promote relaxation, attention restoration, and the holistic well-being of users. Therefore, a restorative environment that supports physical and mental recovery in the wellness resort design is achieved by optimizing the site's local natural potential.]]>
