I turned the Admiral's Wreckage lot into an eco-commune, which is probably similar to the vibe you're going for. I put bathrooms, a kitchen, and storage downstairs in the wreck, then above ground I have two big tropical huts for sleeping, a yoga and meditation area, gardens, fruit trees, clothing lines, an outdoor dining pavilion, the cooking pit, and various items from Eco Living.
My "family" that lives there is... complicated, and full of drama.
I did something similar to Key Point with huts on stilts out into the water and joint bathroom and kitchen. My Admiral's Wreckage is a wedding lot, but the people of Key Point uses it for all sorts of things too.
Sounds like we did sort of the same thing but in reverse; I used Key Point for my wedding lot. Well, technically I built it before we had wedding lots, so I really need to go back and edit the lot type now; it's either a park or a rental right now, I can't remember. But it's set up as a wedding venue. In either case, it's a nice house with an outdoor wedding area. I've only used it once, but it was a nice place for Sims to get married and then honeymoon. Those sims were having a small private wedding, though, so I haven't tested it for trying to invite guests.
I wouldn't necessarily say that I play in Sulani the most (although it's probably top 5), but it's definitely one of my most creative neighborhoods. I also used the big empty beach (Sapphire Shores?) to build an artist's retreat. It's technically an art gallery, but it's essentially a resort, with Tahitian style huts extending far out into the water on stilts; most are bedrooms, but one is a spa room with massage tables. Then there's also a a building on the beach that has a retail area that will eventually include local art as well as seashells (and now, messages in a bottle). There's also an outdoor yoga area, beach loungers, and easels scattered around everywhere on the beach. No one owns it currently, but I have a couple in mind who are going to buy it when they have saved enough from selling their own art. In the meantime, my rich and/or creative sims tend to come here for mini-vacations; I have them donate to a charity, usually art-related, in lieu of paying for a rental.
Then I turned the volcano lot into... a museum, I think? Or possibly a park? But I called it a scientific research center, or something like that. All of my sims who end up with fossils, frogs, gemstones, etc. that they don't want donate them to this lot. There's a small bedroom, and then the rest of the space is devoted to computer equipment, collections, and local plants. My science and eco-minded sims come here for a few days at a time to do research, explore the area, and do cleanup.
